Started the setup on the new etla.org server, now to be called eris.etla.org. Hoping to get people and services moved over in the next week or two.

Had to stop using the spam filtering service I was using for etla.org, so I now expect to get drowned in the stuff.

After thinking about doing it for ages, webmail on etla.org should be working again.

Thought I'd try out gnash at the weekend (it's a free-software flash implementation). It seems to be really pretty bad - it hasn't crashed Firefox or anything, but the best I got was some bits of a flash movie barely working. I have high hopes for the project though, and it is still alpha.

saigo.etla.org is now doing greylisting, based on the Greylisting with pf tutorial. Let me know if this causes you problems.

For a while I've been trying to use UTF-8 in my desktop locale on debian. I've fought with various setup issues, like the stable version of zsh not supporting multibyte locales at all, and thought I had it more or less working.

Only, today, I discovered that the weird font problems I've been having for a while on my debian testing machine are traceable to the UTF-8 thing - it seems that, for some reason, on my setup, fonts would just be entirely missing in a number of apps. Going back to ISO-8859-1 fixed it. So I've given up on the UTF-8 experiment - unix just isn't ready.
