Notes on moving mail system to a new server

Well I did this some time ago, I still think writing things done may help if I encounter this again.
To move the mail server to another server, and lost mails as less as possible, here is my steps:
- Set your DNS server so your domains get a lower TTL. Do this as early as possible […]

install Minix CD-ROM-2.0 on qemu

While when I doing the “2008 plan” I found there’s something I didn’t finished last year. Among them is learning the Minix code. I’ve read all the principle chapters, and left reading the source code behind and never finished that. So to make a good start for this year, I decide to make a test […]

Never let the BIOS beeps confuse you

My old desktop got an ASUS A8N5X mother board, and sometime ago it stops working. Whenever when I try to boot it up, it ends up with the system beeps, one long, two short, and then repeat.
Then I look up Google and the manual, that signal means there is a problem on the display card, […]

青岛家常烧

青岛家常烧是老婆大人在青岛的时候学的一道菜,到了厦门以后这边的海鱼种类更多,长的也更漂亮,这道菜也得到了大大的发扬。
原料:海鱼,看大小,一般两个人的话两三只就好
香料一:大料(八角),如果是我做的话我还会加花椒和辣椒
香料二:蒜,姜
调料:酱油,盐
做法:
1. 把香料一洗净用清水泡好,水的量基本就是倒在锅里刚刚淹过鱼就好,差不多就是一碗
2. 把鱼洗净,两面各横切两刀
3. 炒锅,烧油,把蒜和姜在油里过一下,出香味
4. 把香料一和泡的水一起倒入锅内
5. 不用等水开,把鱼放入锅中摆好。依各人口味加盐和酱油,盖上盖用小火慢慢烧
6. 最重要的一步: 中间千万不要用铲子翻鱼!会把鱼翻烂的。就一直小火烧着就好了。人可以在旁边享受一下香味
7.  差不多水还有一半的时候就可以出锅了。出锅的时候要小心一点,不要破坏鱼的形象。一般一顿就干掉了,一顿吃不完的话放在冰箱里,结成的鱼冻也很好吃

Using a RAM disk as /tmp on FreeBSD

Since I switched my old server to my desktop, I got a desktop with 4G RAM, and I’m running, of cause FreeBSD-amd64 on it.
However after several days of usage I found I can only use 2G~3G memory on typical days. The rest are free or intact. This might because I’m still using the config […]

Keyboard Navigation in Firefox

 
Why
I don’t think I need to say anything about why we want to use the keyboard over a mouse: All the geeks love it, and it’s just more efficiency.
However when we come to web visiting, it is not easy to just use our keyboard. Of cause we can use text based browsers like links, w3m, […]

Use XKbdOptions instead of Xmodmap in Xorg7.3

I’ve upgraded my desktop machine to Xorg 7.3 recently, and one thing annoyed me: My xmodmap settings that make the capslock key another Ctrl key won’t work.
Searching the web and mailists and I found some reports that for people don’t use Xmodmap, the CapsLock key and the NumLock key won’t update the LED on the […]
