News for Nerds

On: Text-Mining Your E-mail

Why are there so many people complaining about a PS link? The answer is simple: ./ is news for nerds, not for geeks.

So while the average geek keeps his favorite postscript viewer handy, the standart nerd wonders about such an ancient format and does not know how to feed his acrobat viewer with it...

Here is the solution for those irritated ones: try this piece of ancient software on the ancient adobe format, and you can miracously view it's contents!

Have fun and keep your google handy!

Re:How big was this book?

On: The Practice of System and Network Administration

It don't think it has to be that big, if it provides a good outline of the topics covered plus pointers where you can find more information about the topic.

I would rather buy a book that gives me good hints to find the answers by myself, than a book that tells me it knows it all, but only provides surface answers...

subdomain for private use?

On: Protecting Your Company While Protecting Privacy?

Why not give your employees email adresses in a subdomain? For example: user@private.company.com

Combined with a note on your webpage, company terms and so on, this could be a legal wrapper against such 'attacks'.

Arkeia works fine for me

On: Ask Slashdot: >2GB Backup Software for Linux?

I use a commercial backup software called arkeia. You can get it from http://www.arkeia.com/.

There is also a free for personal use version for linux server/clients. Just go to http://www.arkeia.com/downloadfree.html .
