Due to a major outage at the transit provider BBnet, r3blog and the sites it hosts were down for about 2 days. Sorry bout that. Furthermore, the ip address of this machine will change in the near future, which will cause another period of downtime (1 day max) due to dns cacheing which needs to be updated.

Summer has finally hit the netherlands. Last weekend there were lots of transportation problems on the beaches, but luckily I was at Torenpop in Amersfoort. Bigger as ever there were lots of good names, ranging from Moonlight District to Brainpower. Thanx to the lovely weather, it was way too crowded, but that didn’t really matter.

In other news, the new spamfilter setup is not as effective as I want it to be, probably due to the fact that I didn’t train my filters all too well. Oh well, something for a lousy day Right now it’s too hot to keep blogging, so I’m going to the pub and enjoy myself

I’ve just updated my anti-spam setup. After reading this howto about some guy’s 1M+/d mailserver setup, I replaced spamassasin with bogofilter and qsf working cooperatively. Both train each other, and only if both tag a mail as spam, it get’s filed as spam. In the process I’ve reduced the TTL of an email in my server from 30+ secs to 1~2 secs. Talking about a speed increase

In other news, I’ve created a new forum for my girlfriend’s website. Based on the simplemachines forum, which is the successor of YaBB, it provides us with enough features, speed and comfort to use it. Let’s hope that one day we’ll get just as famous as Gathering of Tweakers
