Grr.

7:57 pm — Geek, Whining

So, I accidentally blew away my entire Javascript directory on the webserver, and the server the backups were on …well, that’s the router that “crashed”.

Fuck. Me. Sideways.

I managed to save some of it, but the parameter parsing source went bye-bye — at least the one that did it properly. Grr. I’ve kludged around that for the moment by just uncollapsing all the sidebar menus on the right. I was thinking about changing themes, anyway. Oh, well.

Also, is the fact that mutt can’t do header matching in the index fucking irritating to anyone else?

Computers are pissing me off. Merry Christmas.

Okay, god damn it.

Apparently, sbcglobal has some antispam crap in place so that you can only send out so many emails per …day? Hour? I have no idea.

After you exceed whatever random threshold they’ve set, you get a cute little message like this:

Oct 17 18:20:03 crossbone postfix/smtp[25848]: 3143F43F73: to=<email address goes here>, relay=smtp.sbcglobal.net[207.115.20.26]:25, delay=0.73, delays=0.27/0.03/0.4/0.03, dsn=4.7.7, status=deferred (host smtp.sbcglobal.net[207.115.20.26] said: 451 4.7.7 Mail access temporarily suspended for 76.243.28.8**BCMI**flpi102 (in reply to MAIL FROM command))

SBC: While I commend your efforts to kill spam, I think you might have set the threshold a little low.

You know those commercials where people turn into M&M’s candy to the tune of some irritatingly catchy music? It was something about finding your inner M&M, or some stupid shit like that, with a link to a site that lets you create an M&M that looks like you. I went and created my little guy, forgot about it, and now I get stupid emails from a candy bar company. I went through the routine to remove myself from the list (hey, it’s a big company, it might work), but we’ll see.
