My New TV Listings

I used to use Yahoo! TV for my TV listings, but since they switched to focus less on listings and more on TV show news, along with a complete redesign of their listings, I’ve been really annoyed with it. I tried using TV Guide, but still ran into issues that annoyed me (as well as inaccurate listings). And while when I finally move to digital cable next year when everybody in Bend will be forced to do so, I’ll get a fancy channel listing thing, until that point, channel 8 (TV Guide Channel) drives me batty waiting for channels when they spend a bunch of time plugging channels I don’t receive.

Then today I found my new preferred listings service: at Couchville. Simple, clean, fast, and customizable. Sweet. Now if I could remember where I got the site from so I could thank them….

Beavers Plow Through CWS

I’ve said it before, I’m a Duck, but any Oregonian has to be proud of these Beavers. Congrats Oregon State on a great run through the College World Series.

Random cPanel Link Dump

As I’ve mentioned before, I use cPanel on my Web server. I’ve posted links before for using clamavmodule in Mailscanner, completely removing boxtrapper, among a few other things.

So here are a few other cPanel-related items that I needed to have bookmarked and documented for future reference. (after the jump, as it’s long and pointless for most people here):

Heading To P-Town

Don’t know if I’ll have time to blog at all the next few days. I’m heading to Portland for a much-needed mini-vacation. The grandparents are coming over and watching the kids, and the wife and I are heading to Portland to watch people bang on things. Yes, we’re going to see Stomp, who my wife and I saw in Eugene when we lived there when we first got married. I couldn’t afford the tickets then nor could I know, but after having as much fun as I did last time, I wasn’t going to miss this. That, and I really needed to get out of town for a bit, even if it is just overnight (we’re staying with some old college friends up there).

Everybody be good while I’m gone. I’ll be bringing the laptop and might check in — or I might not (I just know if I don’t bring it, the office will call me and I’ll need to remote in to the servers and won’t be able to). Cell phone calls will be sent to voicemail, regardless.

On a totally random note, I’m glad to hear that The Source “loves” me (read the comments) and will hopefully quit putting my name in quotes, which I griped about before. Thanks Dave for getting on ’em about it.

E-mail Troubles

If anybody’s tried to e-mail me this afternoon at all, you’ll need to re-email me. My MailScanner installation on this server went bonkers thanks to a needed Perl upgrade, and was basically dumping mail into the bit bucket. I disabled MailScanner, and mail went through fine. So I have no server-side spam scanning, but at least I have e-mail.
