Huh. I'd been wondering how to make the Windows key work in GNOME. Honestly, I think it'd be a decent thing to set by default. Maybe that's why I'm not a GNOME developer...

Nobody was receiving email. Load averages were up around 7 or 8. Turns out that a list owner's account was canceled. The list was owned by two addresses -- foo@bar.com and baz@tblc.org. When foo@bar.com disappeared, a message to the list bounced back to the list admin. That error message then went to baz@tblc.org and foo@bar.com. When *that* bounced... But it appears that the real problem was postfix. Once the error-message snowball reached 10MB, postfix went apeshit and started sending some tens of thousands of messages to, essentially, itself. Call it boilover, I guess. (For fun, count the compound words in that paragraph.) Things are almost back to normal. That's scary. In other news, TBLC has just purchased the very last server ever sold by VA Linux Systems. It's a 1U "Single 700Mhz PIII, 512MB RAM, 1 Fixed 40Gb IDE HD, 2 9Gb SCSI HD". It'll be our new DNS server (now that's what I call an elephant fucking a mouse). And I suspect that 40GB drive will turn it into a Samba server too -- a nice way to do a proof-of-concept for when it's time to replace our NetWare 3.mumble file server.
