imap/ssl
Well I finally got a around to installing ssl/imap. That’s not the interesting part 😉
I wanted to change the name of the daemon from imapd to imapsd. That’s where all my frustration started. Long story short… if you change the name of the binary, you need to also need to change the name of the file that holds the certificates.
In this case “/usr/local/ssl/certs” needed a file called imapsd.pem. I just created a sym-link to the imapd.pem file and all started working again.
Nowhere is this clearly documented. I was able to figure out the issue with this trusty truss command: truss -f -d -a -e -v all -p PID

Mac Software pick of the week
The new iPhone upgrade allows you to see the lyrics stored in your music file. Turns out that there is a great little widget that will automatically update the songs. THe program is called GimmeSomeTune.
Another freeware tool you should donate to the owner.

A perfect shot with this Bullet!
As many of you know I have been hooked on BBQ. BBQ as defined by the pit masters is anything you cook low and slow. Last year I took a class from a Pit Master. I took the class from The BBQ Institute.
Konrad was a great teacher. He has no problem sharing his secrets and I learned a lot. The best thing I can say is in the 40 years of cooking, I have ever been able to make ribs. I learned a few secrets and my 1st attempt after this class came out perfect!
I did a lot of research about what smoker to buy. All of the comments said get a weber bullet. I purchased the Smokey Mountain Cooker.
This unit is amazing. I put the heat source in (generally Kingsford charcoal) and the temperature stays at an amazing 250 degrees for hours. I can run the smoker for 7 hours or more on one chimney of charcoal.
If your looking for a smoker, or are starting out. I strongly recommend this unit.

Bad marketing…
Ok apple, what’s up with this?
I have a .MAC account. I use it specifically so I can sync my computers and use it once in a while to publish calendars and photos.
My account expired in december and I wanted to renew it. If I renew it online Apple wants to charge me $129 for a year. Instead I can purchase another ,MAC box for $79 on amazon and wait the 2 days for it to ship and I then can register for another year.
This is just silly. Why does apple charge FULL retail for renewal? Until, there is a discount on renewing, I will continue to just buy full retail releases (at a discount).
