When you want a fresh calendar, and need to re-sync all data with your exchange/zarafa server, you will have to manually delete all appointments.

I have hooked up my online banking to munin. Whenever the amount on any of my accounts drops below $0 I receive warning. When it drops below -$800 it becomes an alert.

This week my virtual ran out of diskspace. I had mysql query logging enabled and a distributed attack on the login and self-register modules of gallery2.

Because I rarely login through the admin-interface and I have disabled the user self registration, I created this htaccess filter to deny any requests to those
modules. Keep in mind that if you want to login yourself, you need to add a rewrite condition for your own ip:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} g2_controller=core.Logout [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} g2_view=core.UserAdmin&g2_subView=register.UserSelfRegistration [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} g2_view=core.UserAdmin&g2_subView=core.UserLogin
RewriteRule .* - [F]

Deep within the walls of a gloomy castle in the equally gloomy land of Draxsylvania, the young, gifted opera singer Mona De Lafitte is held captive by her tormentor, vampire Baron Shrowdy von Kiefer. Ever since she was transformed into a vampire by Shrowdy and whisked off to Draxsylvania, her greatest wish has been to return to Paris, continue her singing career, and one day become a star at the Paris Opera. When Shrowdy fails to return from a nightly foray, she at last sees an opportunity to flee. Together with her only friend and confidant, a cheeky bat named Froderick, she escapes from her prison and tries to find her way back to Paris. During her flight through Draxsylvania, where she encounters some strange inhabitants and some even stranger challenges, Mona must learn not only to accept her vampire nature, but also to use the abilities she has acquired to her advantage.

“In Java, int x = 5; x += 2.5; works (x is now 7), whereas int x = 5; x = x + 2.5; gives a type error.”

The first one to explain this wins a free beer ..
