jfong@playerkill.com now works. So that’s now what all my outbound mail reads, including mail sent to Pixar folks today (but no one has yet commented. Wusses). I had to settle on using exim since sendmail was beyond what my little head could handle.
Getting mail working was motivated in part by my offering web hosting for small Tom (as opposed to big Tom, mentioned in previous entries; both are coworkers of mine), and ensuring that sufficient services were installed to taste. This eventually involved figuring out the intricacies of setting up python, Zope, and various odd bits of Apache. Eventually (once granitecanyon.com comes back from the dead) Tom’s site will be at www.monkeyspeak.com.
Was dorking around this week with writing CGI scripts at work in an effort to look busy and actually came up with something useful and work related – a tool to generate and maintain a FAQ via the web. Also bought a MySQL book recently and am entertaining outlandish thoughts of hooking up the mud to a MySQL backend. Ryan has mentioned there is money to be had in doing web related projects, and if I was apt to be motivated by dollars I’d be probably be looking more into webbish things. Although already with the CGI and SQL stuff it’s proving more fun than I thought it’d be.
