Under African Skies!

Yeah, I just fired up firefox, ctrl+t a couple of times, and start loading pages. You know, the regular, blog, stats, mail, facebook(recently) and some aggregators.

‘Cept after going down the line, I get to Agrigator. First thin I notice, no full screen, way too little green and lastly no croc

Ha ha…ed, was the first thing that came to mind, till I looked over the URL….typo!!! I was actually looking for Afrigator No really I was. Why I thought ha…ed, I have no idea. I just did.

When I first decided to log onto facebook, like two months ago, there were barely 289 users for Namibia. Today it is a complete different story, over 900 and counting.

Even managed to pick up some old school buddies this time round.

or three…

I have finally managed to sit down and go through my list of drafts and decide what to finish and at last post.
Yeah I know I’ve neglected the blog. I’ve been busy with the usual you know, work, play, Wimbledon (hell yeah) and off course reading.

Note: not quite so easy to type when your cat wants to roll up between your arms on the desk….its chilly upstairs.

Just a quick question, how long on average does it take to write a post ?
I mean some people must be spending like what seems to be hours to draft a post. How long does it take. How many time do you save and edit, before the final post ?
Personally no more than 5-10 min for me, I don’t spend much time on grammar and style of writing. I just like to make sure at least the spelling is correct I guess this last piece should have been a separate post

Here is a good howto for setting up the vacation script using procmail

And just for reference the URL of the current homepage of this vacation script.

For future reference

the correct syntax to copy a file TO your/another server
scp file.txt user@host:/dir/u/choose

That works just fine

I have scoured the web for an answer. Alas I have found it, but I have lost the URL

Luckily I am able to pick it from the history, if have mailman installed uner /usr/local/mailman, yours might differ.

There you’ll find all the files relating to mailman, the one of importance here is “list_members” which can be found under the bin directory.

eg: /usr/local/mailman/bin/list_members

That is the file that will export the list of members from mailman. To get the list run, ‘/usr/local/mailman/lists’
this will give a list of mailman lists currently on the system.

Then all you need is to run the following command,

‘/usr/local/mailman/bin/list_members listname > “textfile” ‘

make the textfile of your choice, that should print it all into a text file for you.
