- SPF was originally designed to prevent joe-jobs. In this mode, an MTA uses SPF to verify the envelope sender (SMTP MAIL FROM) address during SMTP time. But some people pointed out that SPF can also be used to verify headers to prevent phishing. When used to verify headers, the agent could be an MTA or an MUA, and slightly different rules apply: you have to consider Sender and Resent-From as well as just the “ |

- You may notice the ad at the top of my sidebar to the left (and if you are reading this not on my site—now you have a reason to stop by). A bit of satire curtesy of Rand Careaga, who gave his permission for me to run the series, one ad per day (although after a while it will cycle). Enjoy. |

- I could have sworn today was Wednesday. It felt like a Wednesday. That's what I get for loosing track of time (and for not updating like I should, but I'm slowly rectifying that). |

- Hoade and I spent several hours at the library trying to edit the footage (shot with a digital video camera we borrowed) we've accumulated over the past few days. The software, running on a high end Mac (with gigs of free space, just for editing of video), was fairly easy to use once shown how; the consuming bit came in waiting for the video stream to be read off the tape. Twice. First time through the audio tracks were not transfered. |

- Today Hoade had to run an errand to the Mississippabamasisboombah DMV to get his (and his wife's) car registered with the state. Our first stop was the Tuscaloosa Court House as Hoade felt that if such an office existed, it would be at the court hourse. I was rather surprised at how laid back things were at the Tuscaloosa Court House as there was a refreshing lack of X-ray equipment and border guards at the entrance. Contrast this to the local Broward Court House near the Facility in the Middle of Nowhere where the guards, standing on the other side of the high-powered X-ray equipment, cheerfully wear rubber gloves, “for your protection. |

- One of Hoade's life long dreams has been to make a movie. But in the time he's been here in Tuscaloosa, he's become quite the star in the local indimovie scene, being in three films so far, Blut und Feldt, a German expressionistic film about Muppets gone bad, where Hoade played a detective gone bad; The Tool, a film about a man (played by Hoade) who may or may not have a guardian angel studying his every move, and a third film whose name escapes me, but Hoade plays a skinhead with a thing for guns. By far the best is Blut and Feldt. He also showed me his wife's organizational skill in the freezer: |

- I'm taking care of last minute details before heading off on the road towards the hip-happening town of Tuscaloosa, Alabama! You might be wondering why, of all places, why would I go to Tuscaloosa? Because I'm off to see my best friend Sean Hoade, professor to non-English speaking students at the University of Alabama and perpetual grad student. Let's see … got the rental car for Spring … |

- Well, it took several hours, but I was able to compile the Subversion client. I ended up compiling OpenSSL twice because the Subversion configuration script couldn't find the libraries, but once I got that straightened out, it compiled fine even if it did take a few hours (not that I have the fastest machine on the planet). Subversion is a version managment tool. You place files under Subversion (or CVS or GNU Arch, or ClearCase or any number of other programs) and it allows you to track changes to documents. You check out the current documents, make your changes, check them back in. |

- Due to stellar performance of the cable modem, Spring decided to order DSL from DSLI (the provider Mark uses, and if he's happy with them then they have to be good). That was a few weeks ago, and yesturday the unit arrived. I didn't get a chance to install the unit until today. Inside of ten minutes, I had the unit unpacked, plugged and powered, the IP address (static! No extra charge! |

- Ich habe noch nie soviele Phaetons auf einem Haufen gesehen wie aktuell auf den Straßen hier in der Gegend (um ehrlich zu sein habe ich vorher noch nie einen gesehen). Grund ist das hier. Die Phaetons werden als "Player Shuttles" eingesetzt. Ich muss gestehen, dass ich den Wagen nicht als Phaeton erkannt hätte, wäre nicht heute einer direkt vor mir an der Ampel gestanden. Kein Wunder, dass sich das Ding nicht verkauft: |

- Man mag ja von der Bildzeitung halten was man mag, aber es ist nun mal ein Medium der Massen. Wenn 70.000 Leute bei einer Redaktion anrufen ist das ja schon mal was.
