Dear Lazyweb, I'm trying to get the postfix, dovecot, and spamd logs out of /var/log/system.log and into their own files on MacOS 10.5.5. Help. The stock syslog.conf on OSX contains in part: *.notice;authpriv,remoteauth,ftp,install.none;kern.debug;mail.crit   /var/log/system.log mail.*   /var/log/mail.log I tried changing that to: *.notice;authpriv,remoteauth,ftp,install,mail...

I did an interview tonight with a CNN iReporter about Proposition 8. I'm actually curious about what people think about this whole iReporter phenomenon. To me, it seems like CNN is trying to save money...you? I guess what I'm really asking is, is amateur content on a professional site worthwhile? How is it similar or different than the all-amateur sites like livejournal? Enquiring minds want to know

Is it possible to get the 'NIV Study Bible' (notes) online anywhere? I've looked and looked but I can't find such a site. In other news: The ESV study Bible's seem to be delayed over here on this side...emailed the place I ordered from and they said they didn't have a date for when it would be here, but that they thought it would be by the end of the month (why they thought that was not explained)

I have been stuck on a puzzle hunt for well over a month. Another team has already solved the puzzle, but there’s some sort of prize (and fame, and bragging rights) for second place. I’ve set up a wiki...suffice it to say that if you haven’t read it, you should. Now. Also, Set This House in Order , which I just read a few days ago. Both of which Cam found first, so many thanks to her for that.

Life expectancy the year I was born was about 72. I'm currently half that age, which means that in my parents' generation I would have been described as "middle aged." (My generation, for some reason,...features. Does anyone know if that's normal as a hair transitions from youthful color to grey? Or am I going to end up with a head of striped hair? I must admit, the latter would be kind of cool..

So when I learn that there's a show goin on after 9pm at the Middle East, but its website sez its box office closes at 7pm, does that mean I'm out of luck (unless I leave RIGHT NOW and then kill two+ hours), or will they sell me tickets at the door anyway?

Since badgerbag is busy livetweeting the debate, I'm totally going to steal her excellent link to an intriguing architectural criticism post re: Yale's Rudolph building, informed by the critic's...very impressed by long staircases as architectural "statements." They made for uncomfortable seating, too. Why yes, there are disability studies scholars who focus on geographies of disability

I can't figure out how the hell you report a bug to Youtube, other than by posting in an obviously-ignored honeypot forum, so I guess I'll just post my bug report here and hope that my LJ is read by a...for it to start squawking at me first, then drag the slider to the left, then press pause. Lame! I should be able to press the pause button even if zero bytes of the video have been downloaded

Quick poll for everyone: Which episode of Robot Astronomy Talk Show is the funniest?

Dopplr can generate a "blog badge" of my Dopplr location and future trips, like so: I want a little bit of JS that can reach into either Dopplr or Fireeagle, and give back just the name of the city...my home page something like "today, Mark is in JS_SCRIPT_REFERENCE_HERE", and it will render as something like "today, Mark is in Seattle". Am I doomed to write it myself, or has someone else done it
