Comment on Revisioning /etc with Git by Pablo

Using git for /etc is good, but I think spending the time to learn Puppet is worth it. I’m now using Puppet and never going back.

Very nice I think I will start doing this with my sites on Slicehost. I already maintain the applications in git, this seems like a good addition.

Comment on I'm changing how I deal with spam by Blue

It’s a good idea to check your spam once in awhile to make sure good emails are not getting dumped. Also, when you sign up for something there is usually a helpful process that allow you to make sure it doesn’t go to spam, like a newsletter or website. Other than that, I tend to agree with ignoring spam. I also let my spam filter know about new spam.

Comment on What I didn't like about Avatar by JDintheOC

Well, I’m pretty sure I just saw another version of How the West was Won…or nearly so. Native Americans (of which I am one) have lots of land when gold is discovered. The Europeans decide to relocate them. Failing in that, they try to kill them off to get at the gold. The end fight was a retelling of Custer’s last stand. Beautiful CGI scenery but a paper thin plot.

Comment on The problem with Lisp by Alpheus

I don’t see this as the biggest problem with Lisp. I’m just starting out, but I’m also determined to learn Lisp…and while I’ll someday be interested in distributing executables, for me the biggest problem I have to come to grips with is the library mess! How the heck do I find libraries that do what I want, and how do I install them?

I’m inclined to think that if *this* could be solved, the “standalone” executables will be easier to deal with.

So far, though, I like the language.

Comment on Printing emails in Django by rohan

Have you tried this:
python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025

This will catch everything and redirect the input into standard out, which you can redirect if you want of course.

Can’t claim credit, my fellow worker showed me.
