Well it's been a while since I posted anything - sorry to anyone who's actually been reading.

I've been really busy at work, last weekend we put in a new email server, which had been basically my project. We've switched from a Mac Mini (previously a 800MHz PowerMac G4) running QuickMail to a Quad Xeon XServe running the standard Apple set up (Postfix & Cyrus). The new server is much faster - about double speed to send out ezines through Mailings. There's really no interface at the moment, which is a problem as no one else really works on the command line. My main issue with the set up is the lack of easy forwarding to multiple accounts. I'll have to find a program or something to do that, at the moment I'm setting up forwards in sieve scripts through squirrelmail, but that doesn't give any way to sort through the forwards all together.

I learnt how to write FileMaker plugins last week, which was something new as I had to work out some C++ (which I've practically never even seen before) to do so. I've written a Regular Expression plugin. Just two fairly simple functions, a match and a replace. I used the PCRE library as what I really wanted was Perl regexp - and now I've got it. Johan (our resident FileMaker developer) literally swore when I showed him what regular expression can do - which was a nice compliment.

Enough work - Elisse's final recital is this Monday, 12:20pm at the Royal College of Music. I've taken Monday and Tuesday off which will be a nice break, and we're already madly catching up with all the people who have come to see the recital. We took Elisse's parents and french 'cousins' to Flat White today which was great - I really miss Australian coffee.

That's all from me, if work slows down a bit I will hopefully remember to post a bit more regularly - that way I'll be doing better than Mike.
