So in an odd turn of events, I had two requests last week for improvements to the webmail system on folkwolf, and a co-worker showed me the new versions of the same program. So I decided to upgrade the webmail program to the newest version. To upgrade just the libraries that run the webmail program would have been a major chore. Luckily Chris's housewarming party was last night, so I went over to chris's with the brand spanking new Fedora Core 3 CDs, and put the CD in and proceeded to upgrade, thereby taking the server and unfortunately, as Adrian pointed out, the map to chris's new house, just as the party was starting. Sorry to everyone who was looking for directions to Chris's party last night.

But I did manage to upgrade the server last night. and I managed to upgrade the webmail program this morning it is at http://folkwolf.net/horde3/imp4/ and you can also get to it by clicking on the link on the left.

Coming Soon: Calendar and todo list support, because Jamie asked for it.

I think I have finally washed my blog clean of all comment spam, and managed to figure out a way of making the spammers go away. I couldn't figure out the MTCloseComments plugin, so I just figured out my own way of closing off comments after one week. Email me if you want to know what I did, also, I went through the db, and cleaned out all the old spam that I missed the first time.

The one downside of this is: Now, no-one can comment on a post after one week. If you find yourself trying to comment on closed posts a lot, email me and I can tweak the settings.

Sorry to everyone affected by the Outage from Thursday at approximately 11am to friday at approximately 3pm. A total of 28 hours. Unfortunately, I trusted my internet provider to do a lot of the things that ISPs are supposed to do. Needless to say, Chris and I are working on a plan to alleviate such failures in the future. Sorry all. I was just as pissed of as I'm sure some of you were.
