Well the pythons have it right in my humble opinion. What ever you do people are going to steal/pirate your media. If there is technology to make it you can break it, no matter how good your DRM is. So in their wisdom the pythons have released high quality clips of themselves on on youtube, and if you like it buy it and keep it. Its kind of like donating to your favourite open source project and its the way it should be! So everyone enjoy. I really hope more people star adopting this responsible sharing philosophy.
Well, I have returned from the US of A, and I managed to bring back a fair amount of swag from the vmware conference. I have a fair few pics too, which I will setup a flick feed for. Watch this space. Now I’ve finished that trip I’ll have some more time for apache geo map and osap. So watch this space.
I’ve been playing on the squarecows servers with some new and updated spam fighting tools. Firstly I decided to beef up spamassasin with the latest and greatest rule sets from the rules emporium, and then I thought I’d take a serious look at SPF and DKIM. Both which are relatively easy to get going if you have a few hours to play and spend tweaking. Now neither of these features on there own will combat spam so that why I use both! Also I’m now signing outgoing messages using dkimproxy which works really well with postfix, and will hopefully stop my users ham being marked as spam, well once these technolgies take off that is
If anyone else has been playing with anti spam software recently, I’d love to hear from you.
Well I once again have a working rockband drum pedal! Thanks to this metal pedal billet! So once again we are annoying the nieghbours and rockin into the early hours. Speaking of which we went to see the fabulos backtrackin again at the kings arms in Colchester and it was another great show! Also we spent time with our good friends at the Mersay Regatta, there was plenty of cheeky vimto flowing! Thanks guys! Now all the fun is settling down i may get time to do some more development!
Well I’ve been working on this site in the background and getting ready for a few new releases of my software. I’m now using wordpress as some of you will notice, as its admin interface is fantastic which will allow me to post updates easier. I’m also pondering the idea of an opensource guitar FX pedal using the arduino and a ADC, as a side project, I’ve seen a project doing the same but without using a ADC, so that will be a good place to start. The rest of my time at the moment is taken up with launching OSAP which is a charity to help other charities deploy opensource software to save money! We are also building a large scale HA web platform to host any charity for free.
