There are a lot of sites online...serious sites...with reams of technical knowledge and mired in the depths of their trenchant and ponderous, you know.... seriousness! I want this site to be a bit fun, light and definitely spirited. A hard to grasp concept, for sure, but isn't that true about wind? You can't grasp it, you can only see its effects. It's Breezy! You know what I mean?

Ironport C160 Work Queue Corruption

Mon, 2012-05-14 15:15 — webmaster

I had a very strange problem today. I have my tertiary MX records set up such that if my primary and secondary mail servers are unavailable, my domain email gets sent to Gmail using their Google Apps free service. This morning I noticed that I was receiving emails on my BlackBerry from my backup Google account. This isn't unusual in itself since I've had failures of my MTAs from time to time, mainly due to power outages and such. People that have read posts on this tech blog will know that I've only got a DSL connection (but with static IP addresses) supporting my test lab.

Breezy! Site on the move again!

Tue, 2011-08-09 00:51 — webmaster

Just moved Breezy! to a Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit server running as a virtual machine in a fresh install of VMware ESXi on a Dell Poweredge 1950 server. I'm feeling pretty good about this because it went with nary a glitch....including backing up and restoring the underlying MySQL databases and all the content.

I'll report back with more information, but this has definitely got my Geek on!

Seriously, why Breezy!?

Problem: Since BESx 5.03 upgrade I can't login to BlackBerry Administration Service Active Directory

Thu, 2011-07-07 19:00 — webmaster

Turned out to be a DNS issue. I had a lot of self-generated DNS entries from my VMware Server installation that pointed at the wrong IP addresses for the Global Catalog Server. The BESx instance has to find the Global Catalog Server to login using the BlackBerry administrator's AD credentials.

IPv6.breezy.ca crawling with Googlebots! Breezy! Site is going for Broke(r)!

Mon, 2011-06-13 01:10 — webmaster

Funny, I've just noticed that Google's IPv6 web crawler has been crawling my site for content. That's really cool and I'm sure that it's no coincidence that we recently celebrated World IPv6 Day (June 8, 2011).The Breezy! site has been available for over 3 years on the IPv6 cloud and it's feels kind of nice being an early adopter.

Site OS Upgraded to 10.04 LTS Server

Thu, 2010-09-02 14:33 — webmaster

I just upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04 -> 9.10 -> 10.0.4 LTS server. I still don't have snort working yet as there's an issue with the rules files which is probably unrelated to the upgrade. Other issues:

  • Apache2 had to be completely purged and re-installed along with perl.
  • ditto mySQL. Something went fubar with the startup scripts or something similar. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS uses the new "upstart" feature to start processes/services vs. the more familiar /etc/rc?.d scripts.
