Set up a link so Lucinda’s computer can access the Web. Set up a Squid 2.5 proxy server on Moe. Gave the dc1 interface an IP address of 192.168.2.1 and gave her computer 192.168.2.2. Made a long crossover cable to connect them.

Mandy gave me a digital camera to experiment with. I got it to mount on FreeBSD with:

Upgraded sendmail and openssh last night. The sendmail wasn’t working for sending out. Got a ‘permission denied’ error. The fix was to get the ’submit.cf’ file from /usr/share/sendmail/cf/cf and put that in /etc/mail.

I should have done this last week…
I put one of those little online poll thingies on the dot-com album page. I’ve noticed that when people post the link to my album on a page that allows feedback, there is often a debate about is-this-funny-or-sad. So a poll is just natural. The poll is here.
There is another rush on the web server today. Not as big as last week’s but still it’s amusing. The links generating it are:
www.browsertune.com/flanga/hotspots.htm
www.canada.com/technology/webjunkie
The traffic from these two is running just about neck-and-neck. In addition, there are some other new links, but not generating significant traffic:
www.tangmonkey.com/features/linkarc.php
fugitivealien.com/
www.simiandesign.com/blog-fu/
www.jm3.net/linkworld

More traffic today. We got a link from www.fajaf.com/lankarkiv.html. I don’t know what language it is, but a lot of people must read it. Other new links include:
www.halfbakery.com/user/bristolz
sablog.com
www.scriptfurnace.com

Lucinda had a sleepover with Aunt Maggi this weekend. This was nice, since we got to spend some quiet couple time at home. And we also got to go out to a party for the first time in months.
And the traffic is finally dying down on our web server. Check out the graph of our network traffic for the last three weeks.
