So much for a pitchers duel.

Filed under: Quidditch — Darkavich @ 9:55 pm

Well tonight was not what you would call a pitchers duel. It was pretty good in the first 5 innings, but after that it was hit after hit. Oh well! You have to expect that every once in a while.

Poor baby…

Well although the padres lost last night, it was a good night.

Cry baby Barry Bonds was hit in his first at bat. He even leaned into the pitch. I guess that’s the only way he can get on base.

In todays game, he walked twice, struck out and didn’t hit the ball out of the infield.

Padres Win!

Filed under: Quidditch — Darkavich @ 8:30 pm

Today was opening day! Padres win 6-1 over the giants. But the best part was Barry Bonds goes 1-4. he got lucky and hit a ground rule double that bounced over the fence. He didn’t come anywhere close to the outfield wall.

Greylisting is da’bomb

no spam

Ok, I finally got around to installing Perl 5.8.8 with threading so I can install greylisting. Once I figured out the bug in the mysql.pm modules I was on my way. I knew it would be useful to install greylisting, but I didn’t realize HOW good it would be.

Before greylisting, I was getting about 1200 messages a day that were spam, about 900 of them filtered out by spamassassin. That would still lead to about 300 messages a day that would end up in my inbox.

After greylisting, I am now getting about 15 emails a day that are spam. about 99.99% of them are caught by spamassassin now. About one a week makes it through.

I don’t know what to do with all the free time I have now that I have no mail to read through 🙂
