Create a new ssl certificate for imapd (imapd.pem) on debian

It has been a year of using imaps and the certificate expired.

On the imap server, do this:

# cd /etc/ssl/certs/
# openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out imapd.pem -keyout imapd.pem -days 365b>
Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key
..........++++++
.....................................++++++
writing new private key to 'imapd.pem'

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.

Belief-o-matic says I'm...

Beliefnet has an amusing href="http://www.beliefnet.com/story/76/story_7665_1.html">quiz
that suggests which belief system is right for you.

I expected to be closes to href="http://www.beliefnet.com/story/80/story_8027_1.html">nonthiest
or href="http://www.beliefnet.com/story/80/story_8040_1.html">Secular
Humanist, not href="http://www.beliefnet.com/story/80/story_8041_1.html">Unitarian
Unitarian. Maybe changing the 'What priority do you place this
item' would change things.

Here is how I stack up:

1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)


2. Secular Humanism (98%)


3. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (83%)


4. Liberal Quakers (82%)


5. Nontheist (82%)

7. Neo-Pagan (56%)


8. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (48%)

Catching up on blogging...

Between Wendy at tennis camp, getting ready for a customer demo at
work and attending to the kids by myself, blogging is taking a back
seat. Here are some interesting links:

• world
  conspiracy



• Spinoza Correspondence (ref: if a triangle could speak, it would say, in like manner, that God is eminently triangular, while a circle would say that the divine nature is eminently circular. Thus each would ascribe to God its own attributes, would assume itself to be like God, and look on everything else as ill-shaped. )



• JDiskReport (via
  fuzzyblog)
  



• debian and other cool wallpapers



• I'm not using "neep", an alternative
  to the courier font (mt moleblog)



• All the issues from 1841 to 1902 of the Brooklyn
  Eagle News has been digitized. A genealogist's goldmine.



• kast (konspire) is an interesting broadcasting twist on P2P/cooperative downloads (ala bittorrent). I've subscribed to a bunch of channels to see what turns up tomorrow.

Lost bookmarks

Damn! My linux laptop's /home partition filled up and galeon
couldn't save my bookmarks -- so a truncated version (all header, no
marks) is all there is. All those random blogs I've bookmarked for
later reading... Damn, damn, damn.

Maybe now is the time to use a dedicated bookmark editor like href="http://www.nongnu.org/gnobog/">gnobog to store and
categorize the bookmarks.

amifamousyet.pl script to see who links to you

You life isn't complete until you write and post an httpd log perl script.p>

Here is my offering: amifamousyet.pl

The output shows how people are coming to my site. This week's log shows:

• Someone trying to advertise something about Thailand has two html files on
  their Windows
  G: drive (g:/oversea/country/Thailand/Thailand advertise inc.htm)
  


• Searching looking for linux/debian/genealogy/random things such as:
  
  
  
  • genealogy linux KDE
  
  
  • xdmcp listen debian
  
  
  • photo scanner hp 1000 twain
  
  
  • genealogy blog

    geourl.org)
  
  
  • Merrimack Middle School picture
  
  
  • picture of Mastricola Middle School
  
  
  
  
  

And most of those searches are coming from google's country-specific
search engines: at, href="http://www.google.ca">ca, href="http://www.google.ch">ch, href="http://www.google.co.nz">nz, href="http://www.google.co.uk">uk, href="http://www.google.co.au">au, href="http://www.google.com.mx">mx, href="http://www.google.com.tr">tr, href="http://www.google.com.tw">tw, href="http://www.google.nl">nl, href="http://www.google.it">it, href="http://www.google.fr">fr, href="http://www.google.lv">lv.
