    Anti-anti-spam measures

    Like it or not, we often have to post our e-mail addresses online. And that attracts spammers. I've seen some pretty elaborate "anti-spam" measures to disguise one's e-mail address from spammers. But these anti-spam measures forget some pretty simple principles of how e-mail addresses look...

    Thoughts on Newegg

    I just made a decent-size order on Newegg today for some hardware I'll be setting up for my employer. It being Friday, I didn't expect it to ship out till Monday, but a few hours after the order I got two e-mails with the tracking numbers. This reminded me of my overall satisfaction with Newegg...

    Who prints VPS welcome e-mails?

    Default WHMCS VPS welcome e-mails (and maybe HostBill too, IDK) tell you to read the e-mail in full and print it for your records. Does anyone actually do this? And do any providers modify those? I thought we were living in a post-paper world, why this printing business? And who actually reads...

    Need some help testing my DNS interface

    I have been working on a custom DNS interface that integrates with my distributed* DNS servers, and it's finally up and running. If you have a few spare domains that you can point to my nameservers and test the frontend with, I'd appreciate the help. I can't pay, but if you like it I'd happily...

    Ubuntu Server OpenVZ timezones

    The timezone of many of my VPSes running Ubuntu Server under OpenVZ seems to be set to MSK, or Moscow time. Why is this? I assume it has something to do with the most common OpenVZ template out there? I want to reconfigure the important ones (and eventually all of them), but should I reconfigure...

    Two letter domain!

    Since I "discovered" it about a year ago, I've been a fan of the .am (Armenia) domain. It is relatively cheap ($50), is easy to register (no paper forms, no restrictions, actual registry *), and has a lot of domains available. For instance, I have attached a list of all two-letter .am domains...

    Domain transfer times

    I just transferred a domain of mine from GoDaddy (99 cent domains are 99 cent domains, I don't care about how evil GoDaddy is) to Dyn.com. I expected it would take a few days, as I've done two transfers in the past (both GoDaddy to Namecheap), and they took that long. This one was done in under...

    Just got a free VPS (kinda)

    A little while back, IPXCore was getting ready to deploy KVM services alongside their OpenVZ ones. For a $2 one-time fee, I got a 512MB KVM for about a month and a half to try it out. As a "thank you" afterwards they gave everyone who tried it a 45% off coupon, and the $2 paid would be available...
