Can Satan Map Underwater?

Jason Filley — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 22:54:33 +0000

I began typing “Can satellites map underwater” in the Google search window. Google auto-suggests searches based on popularity, and by the time I got to “can sat” the number one suggested search was “can satan read our thoughts.” Why the hell would you expect Google to know that?

William Shatner Says

Dumping ground for future items for William Shatner poetry readings:

After Kernel upgrade CALL_FUNCTION error

After a few hours, you will see that your name will fade away and be replaced by the word guest … You will see the same happening to “barry brown”…. You can then continue your conversation and cheating the points system in Guestland…

Convert SOA RNAME to standard email format

Jason Filley — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 16:22:56 +0000

#!/usr/bin/perl -T
# RFC 1035 3.3.13
# http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1035.html
# The rname of a DNS SOA response gives "domain-name which specifies \

use strict;

#use Email::Valid; if you wish

# example - "noc.example.com" is "noc@example.com"

Filtering note on Postfix and HylaFAX

Jason Filley — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:54:41 +0000

Quick note: if you want a Postfix->HylaFAX email-to-fax gateway with an incoming format like aaabbbcccc@, use regexes to allow the recipient, and also to route to a different transport.

main.cf:
local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps $fax_recipients
fax_recipients = regexp:/etc/postfix/fax_recipients
fax_destination_recipient_limit = 1

fax_recipients:
/[0-9]{10}@.*/  OK

transport.regex:
/[0-9]{10}@.*/  fax:localhost

master.cf:
fax     unix    -       n       n       -       1       pipe
    flags= user=uucp argv=/usr/bin/faxmail -d -n ${user}

main.cf:
local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps $fax_recipients
fax_recipients = regexp:/etc/postfix/fax_recipients
fax_destination_recipient_limit = 1

fax_recipients:
/[0-9]{10}@.*/ OK

transport.regex:
/[0-9]{10}@.*/ fax:localhost

master.cf:
fax unix - n n - 1 pipe
flags= user=uucp argv=/usr/bin/faxmail -d -n ${user}

Superstition

Jason Filley — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:22:27 +0000

A fortune cookie’s message has no impact on your life. At all. It’s a stupid superstition, people. If the fortune cookie says you’re going to inherit a lot of money, your chances of inheriting money don’t change at all. No impact.

However, if you eat the cookie but don’t read your fortune at all, you’ll be dead within three days.

lint: SAP ABAP and SQL

Jason Filley — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:11:19 +0000

SAP actually has good facilities for lint’ing your ABAP code, built-in. From the code editor (say by starting SE38), choose Program -> Check -> Extended Check. Couldn’t be much easier. To get a more thorough review, use Code Inspector to also pinpoint data access problems, like SQL queries where a WHERE term isn’t indexed, and the like.
