The latest release of SpamAssassin has support for Bayesian analysis. You have to train it and it gets better.
The only problem is SpamAssassin uses a command line app, sa-learn, to learn about your mail. Who’ll volunteer to create a web-based form to copy and paste spam/legitimate mail to train it? Adding an “upload file” button would be great too to for those mass-mail learning situations when you come into work in the morning..
It should be easy enough, although you’ll have to use su-exec or something to add rules to different user’s accounts. So, who’s up for it then?

Tooth Ache
Some Thoughts:
- When you have a tooth ache everything else takes second place.
- Oh, and the tooth ache always happens on a bank holiday weekend, to ensure maximum pain, and remind you to go to the bloody dentist more often!
- Vodka, rubbed onto the infected gum/teeth is a god-send for pain relief. It lasts almost 3 hours and it’ll let you get some measure of rest at night.
- Have an understanding partner who’ll take care of you and fuss over you.
- Brush, floss and see your dentist more often.
- Brush, floss and see your dentist more often.

I’ll probably have to get a root-canal next week, the tooth is dead so hopefully it won’t be too sore. (I’m not too hopeful though..)

Nokia 7650 Calendar bug
Try this on your phone:
Open the calendar, and make a meeting appointment (this may affect other types of appointments too, I haven’t tested)
Set the alarm “On” and hit “Done” to save it.
Now, wait until the appointment rolls past and the alarm sounds. Edit the entry and update the time of the appointment to some time in the future.
That works fine, go down to the Alarm section and turn the alarm on again. You’ll get an error message saying “Alarm already passed!” even though the time of the appointment has been updated! It won’t let you set an alarm.
Machine Language For Beginners
Oh, I wish I had this book when I started coding on the C64! Plenty of discussion on /. about it too!
b2-smarty mod 0.2
The 0.2 release of my b2 mod is now available for download! Changelog is on the download page and it’s well worth a look!
Samba Exploit + fix
The release notes for the latest version of Samba describe how to patch your existing Samba installations to avoid a remotely exploitable hole. If it’s running, make sure you configure it to ignore connections from the Internet! (ok, it should probably be configured that way anyway, so this is a wake up call to fix those configurations!)
New release of b2-smarty almost ready!
I should be able to upload a new version of my modified b2 tomorrow sometime. The tarball is ready for uploading, but it needs just a bit more testing.
This one has all the updates seen on this site so it’ll be well worth a look!
GoBoy
The Nokia 7650 Gameboy emulator, GoBoy, works really well! I played Tetris and Super Mario Bros. this morning, although you really need “zipman” to play them from the zip files. Storing 1MB rom files uncompressed is silly when they compress to less than 300KB.
Do you need some Gameboy roms to play with? Use Google, it’s easy enough to find download sites..
Must buy an infra-red port or blue tooth card too.. GPRS is bloody expensive!
