Some times you run into some software that does just what you wanted and no more. ilohamail does just that. For a long time now I have been running my own mail server of sorts. The short explanation is I use fetchmail to aggregate my email from various sources to my own local home server, […]
Special thanks to Richard Querin who designed and contributed the new logo for LinuxPlanet.Org! It’s fantastic! Richard has come through many times with his “mad grfx skilz” for different projects and his contributions always rock. This one definately gives the LinuxPlanet site a real professional type feel, which is what we were looking for (well, […]
Yesterday, a buddy and fellow podcaster, Dave Yates emailed a bunch of people, myself included, about an idea he had. His idea was to have a “planet” for the podcasters. A “planet” for those uninitiated is an aggregated weblog/feed where many people’s separate content is merged together in one place for convenience sake (mostly). Everyone […]
Crap. That’s my final thought on the subject. Last night I decided to finally update my wireless infrastructure and start using WPA instead of just using mac filtering. It’s not that I am uber concerned about the security aspect of it because, let’s face it, the only way to really have a secure box and […]

A good while ago I remember voicing my opinion on the show about those new Netbooks, the sub-compact notebooks/laptops that everyone was buying. It was my opinion that they were underpowered and pricey for what they actually offered. After all, why buy a mini notebook when you can get a fairly good regular notebook for […]
Yes, I know, It’s about time. Last night I finally got around to upgrading my Ubuntu install on my mail workstation at home from 7.10 to 8.04. Well, I shouldn’t say upgraded, because it was a fresh install. I used the default graphical install, which basically means that the new install took a long time. […]
The lucky winner of the draw was Inphonex. After a whole lot of searching the web and EULA browsing, I decided to go with Inphonex. What I found was that most of the residential VOIP companies carry the same sort of undesirable EULA that Broadvoice does. On top of that, there appears to be a […]
