What a day!

An amazing day thus far (oh it’s not over yet!) - so far it’s just been a major blessing, got to hang out with my pseudo daughter lol - aka the Foster’s daughter Carlie who’s a sweetie and since we both have red-hair were part of the redhead family, so we hung out today, same with Ethan and Evan occasionally coo’d at me - tasty ice cream, snagged a Chocolate Shake with Malt and PeanutButter! Delish!

After that, I went to dinner, mainly to sit and visit, not so much to eat, but it was fun, got to chat with Matt, his Dad, and play with Evan and help Carlie eat her fries (okay okay, I ate one of the pizza pieces too) - but it was fun, and sad to see them go, but I think my plan will be to fix up their computer and take it up to them one day, get out of dodge for a while, and get a good visit in
Well I got a curious email from a customer with a screen shot which told me this:

Failure on Email servers - so I explored it a bit more, the cause? Firewall. LOL - so many new anti-spam and backscatter spam RBL and Firewall rules in place, it fails that test on DNS Stuff, sure enough, anything on the new server reports this, but the awesome thing is how much spam this is blocking, so much stuff gets hits from RBL’s and such - RBL = Real Time Black List - I am still looking at the ASSP solutions for cPanel, I like the fact that customers can work to train things, so going to setup a cPanel box after everything is off the old servers and migrated over, once things are happy - then I am going to setup a dev box, set d4t on it, and do some email testing with ASSP.

Anywhoo - the night is young! Have to draft up a email to TN customers/friends and a few servers I am moving this next weekend, each has a separate line, so it shouldn’t be so bad one night should do it, but if not, I’ll have a secondary plan in place, going to move Business then too - this way I can test the PHP5/MySQL5 of their custom coding and ensure it works - but tonight, mindless fun awaits, maybe Denny’s? LOL time will tell. More later.
