While my current configuration has worked for a while, and will continue to keep working, I&#8217;m running into issues with things surrounding PHP, etc.. I want something that&#8217;s RHELish to align with where Loonix has gone.  I&#8217;m not sure I like it, but it&#8217;s how things are set up.  I&#8217;ve also been looking for someone who can handle the mailman stuff;  mailman3 is such a PITA.  I also need to redo my DNS setup, and want some more-reliable setup for my mail archives.  Oddly-related, I did find a nice tuide from FreeBSD about how to use mutt with gmail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What to write about with OWT.  Obviously, after yesterday, there&#8217;s so many things I could write about.  The shooting at Boston University gives a couple of thoughts.  Then there was the situation in Australia.  Australia is basically a gun-free zone, as was the campus at Boston U..  Virginia&#8217;s esteemed governor-elect put out a Post about how outrageous it was, and she was thinking about the tragedy.  She didn&#8217;t go into the verboten &#8220;thoughts and prayers,&#8221; but the sorts of gun regulations are the sort of thing that she, her Lt. Governor, and AG candidate want to see instituted in Virginia.  Jay Jones actually said he&#8217;d like to see a political foe&#8217;s children assassinated to get similar laws in VA.  Those sorts of laws work so well that he&#8217;s willing to kill children to pass them.  And when they don&#8217;t work, noi a single politician who ever supported those laws will be held accountable for <em>government not working<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>More later, maybe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I finished NoJoMo, I&#8217;ve really had it.
