London Sunsets

One of the great things about London is the huge change it goes through from Summer to Winter. During summer sunset can be as late as 10pm while in Winter it may be 3:50pm. This means that during the normal waking hours you get the oppertunity to experience the full array of London from midday to sunset to darkness, and all this during the time directly after work, this makes for excellent easily accessible photo oppertunities for city workers like myself.

Hive – Dedicated FreeBSD Server

Many people use their company email addresses for all sorts of things. Others use web mail services like Hotmail or Yahoo for personal email. These weren’t good options for me as I have always had my own domains and so forth.
When my previous methods of hosting email became unreliable forcing me to make changes often – moving it around from host to host and so forth – I decided to get my own dedicated server.

Unix on the desktop

I first started out with Linux in the days of Windows 3.1 or maybe it was 3.11. As you can see it’s user interface were limited. It had nothing but a proprietry network stack. In general it was just not really advanced, it was the OS of the last decade waiting for the upgrade to take it into the next.

iScan

UPDATE: Exim now has excellent built-in spam and virus scanning, this performs better and is more effective, you should now use that. I’ve closed the project at SourceForge and you won’t be able to get the files anymore.
This is a general mail manipulation system that features a powerfull plugin architecture using Perl. It was designed to work with Exim but plans are underway to possibly make it more MTA independant.
