Gah! That ding-ding song is on the radio again! I had to turn down the volume earlier as it was giving me headaches listening to it! Others like it and the singer is talented, but lose the bloody dings please!

GIMP Lomo Plugin
mF posted a Lomo plugin for the GIMP. His example images on flickr look good but I haven’t been able to get the script to run in GIMP 2.0, will try in GIMP 2.2 tonight.
script-fu: Error while executing
(load “/home/donncha/.gimp-2.0/scripts/lomo2.scm”)
ERROR: unbound variable (errobj script-fu-menu-register)GIMP: Plug-In “script-fu”

Use either “<Toolbox>”, “<Image>”, “<Load>”, or “<Save>”
Update! Here is a GIMP Lomo plugin that works in GIMP 2.4!
Yay! Paris Hilton in the news again!
As Mark says, Paris Hilton’s phone got hacked and her phone book was posted online. *Yawn*
Yes, there are pictures too but they’re the usual camera phone quality. No doubt a few of them will make it into the banner ads of some less than savoury websites shortly!
And yes, this is an excuse to name Paris Hilton on my blog. She is the most searched for female in Ireland. Thanks Darragh – blogs.linux.ie is going to be up there with the celeb sites for the latest trash news and speculation! 🙂
Much later… Now you too can see Paris Hilton’s cellphone for yourself. The guys at liquidgeneration have recreated her phone on the web and it’s extraordinary! hehe.
10 MORE Ways to Make Money with Your Digital Cameras
Following on from the original article, here are 10 more ways to make money with your digital camera!
Hmm, I could do some of these things!
Posh and friends strip for charity

A new book will feature photos of Sarah Ferguson, Paris Hilton, Kate Moss and Geri Halliwell and it’s in aid of the Elton John Aids Foundation.
Victoria Beckham has been photographed naked – aside from a piece of Cartier jewellery and a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes – for charity.
Run, run, run away!!!!
GIMP and Photoshop Links
Lots and lots of links for the GIMP and Photoshop. Many I’ve seen but some surprises too.

Postgrey – Postfix Greylisting Policy Server
Greylisting is an anti-spam and virus measure you can use on your mail servers. When a remote server connects for the first time it’s automatically disconnected and can’t connect for a set time limit (default is 5 minutes). If it’s a real mail server it should keep trying to deliver the mail but viruses and spam will more than likely be stopped cold.
Postgrey is a greylisting server for Postfix that Colm Buckley installed on the machine that runs linux.ie
On Debian, it’s as easy as apt-get install postgrey but then you have to configure Postfix to use it:
Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and modify the line that starts with:
smtpd_client_restrictions = ...
and add inet:127.0.0.1:60000 to the end of it.
Now, you probably want to enable white listing of clients too so edit /etc/default/postgrey and change so it looks like this:
POSTGREY_OPTS="--inet=127.0.0.1:60000 --delay=300 --auto-whitelist-clients"
You might want to add the IP range for your local network to /etc/postgrey/whitelist_clients so they’re not greylisted:
/^192\.168\.1\..*/ does the job for my situation I think.
Now, restart Postfix and Postgrey and you should see the following message appear in /var/log/mail.info:
Client host rejected: Greylisted for 300 seconds (see http://isg.ee.ethz.ch/tools/postgrey/help)
If you don’t, it’s not working!
Much later… It’s been active for about 20 hours now and I’ve only received about 10 spams, down from well over 200 usually! The delay in delivery is annoying, but it’s something we can hopefully live with!
