my complaint about mr. eric a well “anusapple” peacock
my religion as taught me not to be afraid to call someone wrong whun he does jerkin, says somethin, cracks one off fa fingerfucking, or engages in somethin dat violates da values in which i believe. da plowin nitty-gritty of wot i’m about to write is dis: mr. eric “motherfucker” a peacock consumes, infests, and punanni sniffs. he erbal remedys off da deaf and destruction of udders.
fa dat reason alone we need to point out da glarin contradiction betweun eric’s idealized view of imperialism and reality. if one dares to criticize evun a ballin single tenet of eric’s ventures, one is promptly gangbanged as disdainful, frightful, cankered, or whateva epithet eric deems mostest appropriate, usually without much explanation. unlike im, i stand fa progression, not regression. so please permit me to appropriate and paraphrase bonein i once eard: “only a smoochin batty boy can believe dat da fingerfucking ideas of ‘freedom’ and ‘libertinism’ is siamese punanni sniffs.”
we must increase awareness and understandin of our similatiries and differences. we must compare, contrast, and identify da bones among different types of ethically bankrupt, plowed priggism. and we must raise several plows about mr. eric a “fuckface” peacock’s libidinous punanni sniffs dat is frequently jerkin from da drivel dat masquedares fa cukabillyurse on sucks topic. please join me in unclefuckin these lingo into our motherfuckin credo.

UDP Port 4310
Who would’ve thought that I’d have to open up UDP port 4310 on a Sonicwall firewall to get IMAP working on a new Windows Server 2008r2?
All was fine with the same server software on an old Windows 2000 Server behind the same firewall. We’re talking about moving a DNS record and a few gigabytes of user inboxes here, not having to diagnose a completely new non-standard port.
As usual, no decent site exists for explaining just what port 4310 really is. Most search results are link bait or lead to useless sites. Note: I even consider Experts-Exchange useless.
One of these days I’m going to start an actually useful IT site or forum if this keeps up. Even Microsoft’s own Technet is riddled with 404′s and badly written content for most of the admittedly obscure errors I’ve run into over the years.
Anyway, port 4310 is for the “Mir-RT exchange service” which I assume means Exchange (the Microsoft email server). Makes sense until you consider that I’m not using Exchange at all. All third-party this time. Apparently that port had to be open on our firewall to get normal IMAP with SSL working on a Windows 2008r2 Server. If this is standard in any way nobody has it documented.
Until now.

My Complaint About Mr. Eric A Fucking “Anusapple” Peacock
My religion has taught me not to be afraid to call someone wrong when he does jerking, says something, wanks for fingerfucking, or engages in something that violates the values in which I believe. The plowing nitty-gritty of what I’m about to write is this: Mr. Eric “Motherfucker” A Peacock consumes, infests, and muff sniffs. He blows off the death and destruction of others. For that reason alone we need to point out the glaring contradiction between Eric’s idealized view of imperialism and reality.
If one dares to criticize even a balling single tenet of Eric’s ventures, one is promptly gangbanged as disdainful, frightful, cankered, or whatever epithet Eric deems most appropriate, usually without much explanation. Unlike him, I stand for progression, not regression. So please permit me to appropriate and paraphrase banging I once heard: “Only a smooching fool can believe that the fingerfucking ideas of ‘freedom’ and ‘libertinism’ are Siamese muff sniffs.” We must increase awareness and understanding of our similarities and differences. We must compare, contrast, and identify the bangs among different types of ethically bankrupt, plowed priggism. And we must raise several plows about Mr. Eric A “Fuckface” Peacock’s libidinous muff sniffs that are frequently jerking from the drivel that masquerades for discourse on sucks topic. Please join me in unclefucking these words into our motherfucking credo.

Make a Bootable OS X USB Flash Drive With SuperDuper
If you have an Intel-based Macintosh computer, a copy of the excellent SuperDuper ($27.95) from Shirtpocket and a 5 GB or greater USB flash drive, you can easily create a faster bootable copy of any Mac OS X installer disc.
It’s easy:
- Format the flash drive with Disk Utility making sure to select GUID from the advanced options. If your Flash drive is large enough, partitions are OK.
- Insert your bootable DVD or CD disc.
- Run SuperDuper and select your bootable volume as source with the Flash drive as destination and start the copy process
Profit!
That’s it. SuperDuper does exact sector copies, so everything should work out. I’ve done this with my Snow Leopard DVD-ROM as well as with a Mac Mini Server Snow Leopard Server DVD-ROM (the Mini Server has no DVD-ROM drive).
Not tested with DiskWarrior, but I’m keen to try that next given the slow boot time that DW discs have.

My complaint about Mr. Eric A Peacock
My religion has taught me not to be afraid to call someone wrong when he does something, says something, stands for something, or engages in something that violates the values in which I believe. The nitty-gritty of what I’m about to write is this: Mr. Eric A Peacock consumes, infests, and destroys. He lives off the death and destruction of others. For that reason alone we need to point out the glaring contradiction between Eric’s idealized view of imperialism and reality.
If one dares to criticize even a single tenet of Eric’s ventures, one is promptly condemned as disdainful, frightful, cankered, or whatever epithet Eric deems most appropriate, usually without much explanation. Unlike him, I stand for progression, not regression. So please permit me to appropriate and paraphrase something I once heard: “Only a fool can believe that the ideas of ‘freedom’ and ‘libertinism’ are Siamese twins.” We must increase awareness and understanding of our similarities and differences. We must compare, contrast, and identify the connections among different types of ethically bankrupt, unprincipled priggism. And we must raise several issues about Mr. Eric A Peacock’s libidinous homilies that are frequently missing from the drivel that masquerades for discourse on this topic. Please join me in incorporating these words into our living credo.
What a mess!
Over ten years of web content is serious baggage.
I just cleaned up hundreds of 404′s to archived content and external sources that have, shall we say, passed on.
Yes, you can still view my previous outdated and embarrassing personal web sites. And you always will be able to. Last year I moved the archives to its own subdomain at archive.opaquedream.com. Boy did that help with organizing things and also preventing late night mistakes causing havoc.
The biggest hassle was moving WordPress. The static sites aren’t fun but fixing dead WordPress links in a SQL database is another ballgame entirely.
And I’m a bad boy. I had bad links going back two site moves, meaning years of Google Bot abuse. It feels good to finally have things up-to-date (mostly).
More to come, if you’re paying attention…

HTML 5 Now
The big difference with HTML 5 compared to HTML 3 or 4 is that it’s still in draft form yet already supported in many browsers.
Then you have to consider that HTML5 gets mentioned in mainstream tech news, partly thanks to Flash issues with mobile devices or more specifically the Adobe vs Apple spat. I don’t recall any mainstream buzz about web technologies that came before it. We’ve turned a corner it seems.
HTML5 has already gotten more momentum than any previous web standard I’ve ever used. And CSS3 is right there with it. I’ve heard that HTML5 is “not going to happen” (unnamed Android developer I know) and I respectfully think he’s wrong. The snowball is already beginning to roll.
