February 2010 Archives

Well, I finally got around to figuring out why the last three Logwatch reports I received from the faceit f12vm were marked as SPAM.  Looking at the rest of the logwatch report, I noticed a ton of deferrals from places such as Cox, Midco, USF and yahoo.  I read some of the help pages that yahoo linked to and found out that the faceit public IP had been put on the Spamhaus XBL.  Checking that list told me that it was on the Abuseat CBL (and who knows where it got there from).
I instructed Scott on how to fix the firewall rules (don't let the workstations access the internet on port 25) and had him submit a removal request.
Fast forward half an hour and we're off the XBL, CBL, but mail is still being deferred - probably a caching issue with the MTAs in question.  Will dig a little deeper tomorrow if it's still a problem.

I'm really getting into the studio recording project for vocal jazz.  We laid down the drum track for Halleluja last Wednesday, and the results are *marvelous*!  I knew the overhead mics would pick up some of the "room sound" but I didn't think it would pick up THAT MUCH!  You can actually tell the drums were recorded in a large concert hall rather than a basement studio.
Had to cancel recording drums tomorrow, but I managed to get the piano player to get about an hour to record Uninvited.  WHEE!

Wow.. just wow.  I just figured out that the guy who was doing the main multitrack recording of the fall vocal jazz concert didn't even record 4 songs.  I realized a week after the concert that he had missed the beginning of a song and a whole song - which I forgave since I had my own multitrack backup, but turns out he missed 4 MORE  songs!!!  WTF?!  That was 4 of 5 of the songs that Chill Factor sang... just not even there.
Luckily I had my "backup" or shit would be hitting the fan.  For now I'm just going to keep quiet and make sure I run my recorder at the next concert.

Well well... Blogging... hmmz.
