New Releases - Linux Style!

Posted in IT, Linux, Operating Systems, Uncategorized at 8:54 pm by Tyler Reguly

So we've had some new releases in the Linux world lately.... Among these have been SuSE 10.1 and Backtrack 1.0 Final... And shortly we'll have a new Ubuntu as well...

As you're all free to visit the associated websites and find details, I won't spew too many (Not just yet anyways... I'm planning a full review of Backtrack in the future).

However, in the mean time... to help these great people conserve their bandwidth (Although, I'm sure Novell doesn't need the help), I've decided to mirror the software here..

New Server

Posted in CDVT - Version Tracker, Site Related at 1:37 am by Tyler Reguly

Hey Hey,

We've made a move.... I was using hostprince, and I was even reselling their services to a few friends... It wasn't bad at first... they have 0-technical knowledge, but I could live with that but it eventually became ridiculous... I had a simple wget script running and they told me it was crashing their services... this page was written in perl and ran every 5 minutes to check on a text file... if you haven't guessed it was for CDVT (which I haven't forgotten about)... Anyways I've moved servers and picked up a new shell account, between the two we should be good to get CDVT up and running in the next month or so... Anyways.. enjoy the new server... I should be posting more now that the site will be more reliable..

Peace,
HT

Python and COM

Posted in Python at 12:40 am by Tyler Reguly

So I've ventured into Python and COM, using PythonWIN and win32com.client. So far it's been fairly basic stuff... I've been manipulating outlook and dumping emails in plain-text into a file... I thought that I'd like to share the script for this... so here it is... fairly basic... let me know what you think and what I can add... If anyone is interested in any of my Python scripts and would like me to write up explanations, don't hesitate to ask..
