			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Whew</em>&#8230; after a few months of solid work on TLF stuff, we finally hit a big milestone&#8211;the opening of <a href="http://www.tlfhosting.com" title="TLFHosting.com">www.tlfhosting.com</a>, which will eventually become the main jump for all things hosting related at the &#8216;Fix.Right now it&#8217;s pretty skeletal, but it&#8217;s a start.</p>
<p>A big component of this is the shared server hosting stuff which is now all handled under <a href="http://www.psoft.net" title="Positive Software">H-Sphere&#8211;</a>an all encompassing control panel, distribution, and load-management system.  The super cool thing is that it reduces management in a huge way allowing TLF to sell really nice shared sever hosting for super-cheap, like <a href="https://cp.linuxfix.com:8443/psoft/servlet/psoft.hsphere.CP?action=plan_compare&amp;compare_way=group&amp;template_name=submit/misc/compare_plans.sbm&amp;gr_id=0" title="TLF Hosting Plans">$4.50/mo.</a>  Go sign up!</p>
<p>TLF also been enlisted as an official domain registrar, as well as a reseller for Comodo&#8211;meaning TLF is now a one-stop shop.  You just visit that control panel and you&#8217;re off and running.</p>
<p>The next phase is to get our VPS stuff finished up and migrate the rest of the internal TLF stuff to the new VMware server, freeing up the old one for customer VM&#8217;s.I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Found the first reason to throw the iPhone at the wall.</p>
<p>There is a bug in the email setup screen on the iPhone.  If you have an outgoing SMTP server that requires authentication, the iPhone will not save your SMTP password no matter how many times you enter it in on the setup screen.  It will always revert back to &#8220;Optional&#8221;.</p>
<p>Well, isn&#8217;t that a pisser!  Can receive, but not send.</p>
<p>So, after fiddling with it for about 30 minutes and <em>almost</em> tossing it at the nearest piece of sheet rock, I found if you delete all the other SMTP settings (server, username) enter the password <em>first</em> then backfill the user and server name, the password will stick and the SMTP gods will smile down on you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rarely do I say anything in depth about Microsoft and its head cheerleader Mr. Bill Gates, but this time around I really got peeved about <a href="http://www.newsfactor.com/news/Gates-Attacks-Mac-Security--Apple-Ads/story.xhtml?story_id=012000P0K8A0" title="NewsFactor Bill Gates Interview">this story</a> where he is talking about the latest <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuqZ8AqmLPY" title="Youtube Mac/Vista ad">Apple ad bashing Vista</a>.</p>
<p>Bill is quoted as saying:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;And I don&#8217;t know why [Apple is] acting like it&#8217;s superior. I don&#8217;t even get it. What are they trying to say? Does honesty matter in these things, or if you&#8217;re really cool, that means you get to be a lying person whenever you feel like it? There&#8217;s not even the slightest shred of truth to [the ideas about Vista upgrades presented in the Apple commercial he said he had not seen].&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>My <em>lord</em> dude, are you living in another friggin&#8217; dimension?   The whole point those Apple ads are humorus is because they <em>are</em> true.   Funny is based on truth, dipstick! Where the heck has Bill Gates been keeping his brain the past five years?  Hasn&#8217;t he read the news and <a href="http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&amp;ned=us&amp;q=vista&amp;btnG=Search+News" title="Google News: Vista">feedback on Vista</a> and got the vibe that so far it pretty much sucks, along with the rest of the planet?</p>
<p>Apparently not.  I mean, how can it be when he makes statements like this?</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Really Bill?  <em>Is that so?</em> News to me, and I even use one of those security-flawed Mac machines.  Actually, I&#8217;ve used one for about 4 years and I&#8217;ve not been &#8220;taken over totally&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The old phaedrah.com &#038; briandowney.net have been destroyed, and a <a title="Wordpress" href="http://wordpress.com/">Wordpress</a> blog has been placed in its stead.   Not that I didn&#8217;t like writing my own blog software, but I figured it was kind of pointless when much better alternatives already existed.  Also, using it is much nicer and perhaps that will entice us to post more as well.<br />
I&#8217;ve kept the old database around since it contains about two and a half years worth of news and comments.  Perhaps there&#8217;s a way to import them into Wordpress, but that&#8217;ll be a task to tackle later.<br />
So, with that welcome to our new site.   The <a title="Gallery" href="http://gallery.menalto.com/">Gallery </a>will be back along with the rest of the old left-menu links before too long.</p>
