Geeking out today.
I bought a 30 day ssl certificate for iwasdot.com to test that I could get everything running. I now have imap over ssl, ssl over smtp and https running. I have 30 days to convert to full ssl cert.
I also saw spiderman 2 today at the uptown in DC. I seem to be running back and forward to DC even though HY isn’t living down there at the moment.

Well thats me finished running networking cable in my house. The front bedroom was a lot harder than I thought it would be. The existing cable was run between the new ceiling and the old ceiling then went through wood stud in a single small drill hole, So instead of buying an extra long drill bit I just ran the networking cable next to the cable line. Its not where I wanted the network cables to go but it is now done. All the cables are terminated at sockets in the rooms and RJ45 connector in the basement and are currently plugged into a switch and hub. Each room has 3 Cat 5e cables run to. I didn’t run anything the kitchen. I couldn’t think of a good reason to do it 🙂
So thats one thing to strike off my do list. Things still left.
Do something with the garden.
Do something to route the exhaust fan and the extractor fan in the bathroom to somewhere other than the loft.
Find out why the light outside the backdoor doesn’t work. I looked and couldn’t find anything obvious.
I thinks thats the main things.

Well thats 2 120 Gig Maxtor hard disks tested and the rma generated. I will ship them back on monday. One thing I notice on the second hard disk. The warranty expired in 2006 which is interesting because I thought these drives only had a one year warranty. Not that I am complaining. I didn’t notice when the first one expired. These hard disks are the exactly the same model bought at different times so they came from different batches. Kind of scary that both failed with in a year.
