I’m not a big fan of rap music. But, of course, I’ve heard a bit of Eminem. I like the aggressive and energetic style of his songs, but I’ve always felt like something was missing. It was just not enough for me. Now I know what I was missing. More aggression and energy! Here is an excellent cover to Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” by All The Hellbound.

A lot of people joining Google+ don’t know who to follow. Most of their friends and colleagues aren’t on Google+ yet. And having an empty circles kind of defeats the whole purpose of the social network. Gladly, there are many blog posts and directories on the Web already, that provide lists upon lists of who to follow, based on interests, popularity, geographical location, and other criteria. The most recent of such listings that I came across is the Unofficial Google+’s Recommended Users. This one has a variety of categories that cover everything from technology and blogging to food and music. Take a look, browse through the categories, and populate your circles. The more people you follow, the more interesting tidbits are coming your way.
P.S.: And if you are still not on the Google+ and need an invite, let me know your Gmail address, and I’ll send you one. I have plenty left.
I’ve always relied on my mail servers having a complete and correct /etc/aliases file with all the necessary aliases. I never even thought about who puts them there and why. It was just one of those many things that just work. Today I discovered that there is actually an RFC 2142, which describes standard mailbox names for common services, roles, and functions. Here is the abstract:
This specification enumerates and describes Internet mail addresses (mailbox name @ host reference) to be used when contacting personnel at an organization. Mailbox names are provided for both operations and business functions. Additional mailbox names and aliases are not prohibited, but organizations which support email exchanges with the Internet are encouraged to support AT LEAST each mailbox name for which the associated function exists within the organization.
