Easily publish your website (part 1)
Posted: 31/08/2011 Filed under: Nerdstuff | Tags: website, wiki Leave a comment »A while a ago I saw a post on twitter which I found fascinating. Okay that happens regularly, I have to admit. Some of them get saved somewhere in the cloud and get forgotten but others stay remembered. The tweet told me how to use git to manage a website which seemed to be a pretty nice idea. As stated today by garlicsim (and yes I found it on a twitter post by FarMcKon) git is more yummy than subversion. Especially if you can push your pages to another three where you don’t have to block any .svn directory… But there’s been another tweet by Ubuntuka which wanted me to combine them. And so this is my story on how to get it working.

Make unity find your application
Posted: 10/08/2011 Filed under: Linux, Nerdstuff | Tags: ubuntu, unity Leave a comment »Maybe I am the only one wondering why unity doesn’t find all my applications when pressing the Super-key and starting to type. But maybe I’m not so let me tell you how you can add an application. You just have to create a desktop file and place it in ~/.local/share/applications/. That’s really the only thing you have to do. Btw, if you drag the desktop file to your unity launcher, it will stay there.

More exim fun
Posted: 06/12/2008 Filed under: Linux, Nerdstuff | Tags: exim4, Nerdstuff Leave a comment »I wrote before about some exim fun but there was a little problem out there. Using exim4 -bt adres@mydomain worked fine but when trying it out in the real world, it failed. At line 675 (almost) in my configuration I removed the verify = recipient line and it worked fine. I just don’t know why. 
OpenID and stuff
Posted: 27/11/2008 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: openid nerdstuff Leave a comment »Okay, I admid, there are a lot of blogs about openid out there. Take your favorite search engine and ask about it. You’ll get a lot of hits. Originally I thought it would be a good idea to use openid on sites where you have to register and certainly will forget the password next time to get there. You could use some stuff like keepass to remember the passwords but a global id would be easy.

Using dot-forward on exim4
Posted: 30/10/2008 Filed under: Nerdstuff | Tags: exim4, Nerdstuff 1 Comment »I’ve been mentioning my plans to change my email routing on my wiki but there was one missing feature on exim. I’m currently using the so called dotforward stuff from courier. Actually, the forward rules I’m using are pretty simple. I have a .forward to send the mail to another email adres and I have a .forward-default to prevent mails with a dash send out. Searching for the same system on the internet didn’t gave me any satisfying solutions. But reading the manual of exim gave me a ratter easy solution: the use of exim filters. Especially the filter part was pretty useful. This is my result:
# Exim filter
logfile $home/filter.log
if $local_part_suffix is ""
then
deliver myotheremail@someprovider.com.spam
save Maildir/
else
save Maildir/.test/
finish
endif
So everything without a local part gets sended to myotherprovider, exactly the way I wanted.
