Replaced dovecot with courier and my private email server seems to work better than before.

Still have to address some problems with sql-ledger, but I have some notes as to what to do.

Ubuntu is beginning to upset me again. I went to "connect to server" and there were no options. There were before I upgraded. Why was that not included as part of the upgrade. I am tired of fixing mickey mouse stuff on ubuntu. Oh that's right Mark Shuttleworth is a mac user....

Still using my Chumby like a touchpad. It did not come with an external battery. I bought a non-working rc car at Goodwill for a couple of bucks.

So glad to get my mythtv (home made DVR) server back up and in use. Still have some tweaks to do. Do not have any of the commercial video providers, but do have over the air tv.

Don't throw away that old router yet (especially if it has dd-wrt or the like). The reason why I say that it allows you to set up an intranet (private network). Why would you need such a thing.

We are now using an intranet for the home automation network. The real world does not need to see or have access to what we are up to either.

My brother wants me to come over and watch the super bowl with him. He says he has something super for me. He sometimes has ulterior motives. Why do I feel like a mouse about to try to get the cheese from a trap? I do want to watch it on his new bigggg tv.

Took a spare p3 and built a web server to use with the web browserized Insignia Infocast (aka the Chumby). I nicknamed it the Poor-man's Ipad. Found some code that allows for an on screen keyboard for pages that are accessed....
