Server Question

2008-06-29T19:32:09Z

I haven't seen a ton of activity in this community but I have a question and hoping someone can help me out. I do free lance programming on the side mostly web development. Now I am definitely not a server expert by any means so bare with me on the question below. Basically the company I was doing work for has a server person but he doesn't seem to know alot so I thought I would ask around and see if anyone else has the answer:

I was just creating a form that when submitted would send to a few people's email addresses.

I ran into a problem and their server administrator was no help to me. Basically they have a web server and email server seperate from each other. The emails addresses (domains) are the same as the domain of the web server. So when I tried to send an email from the web server, ti would error out because it was looking for the email addresses on the web server not understanding it needed to look outside of its own server. Now if I sent to email addresses that had different domains like gmail.com or yahoo.com, there was no issue.

I told the person at their company that is responsible for the server setup that the server was probably not set up correctly. Basically the server doesn't understand the emails are stored on a seperate server. He agreed with me but had no idea how to fix it.

I am not a server expert by any means, does anyone know what needs to be done to fix this issue? I said I would ask around and see if anyone else knew how to fix this issue. I am guessing it is relatively straightforward. Any help or tips would be appreciated.

Plus if you ever want to talk about tech and learn from each other, I would be totally up for it. I need more tech people in my life.

Bent Festival Minneapolis

2008-04-17T14:51:57Z

Just wondering if anyone on here was planning on going to the Bent Festival in Minneapolis. If so, would you be interested in carpooling or splitting a hotel room? My car seats 4 comfortably so I can take 3. PM me through LJ or reply to the post and we can work out the details.

Computer Woes...

2008-04-11T19:00:56Z

I'm asking this partially to save my own sanity, and also to get my sore excuse for a father off my back.

The desktop in my house isn't cooperating, as per usual. I don't know what goes on with the computer because I never use it. I can tell you my dad was zero limitations with what he does, using backdoor websites to get into Yahoo Games lounges, and he frequents sites that are notorious for spyware, etc. He has no concept of what it means to do anything legitimately. I make him use Firefox, but he still screws that up. We recently had AT&T installed, and they just HAD to use IE to set up... We had pop-ups ALL OVER the screen. I try to run Ad Aware when I can, but that's not very often.

After about 2-3 minutes of startup, the monitor flickers off and back on, and everything is frozen. I can't start up in Safe Mode, and when I start up under "Last Good Settings" I can't stay on long enough to figure out what's wrong. That in mind, I can't get to the control panel, Lavasoft, or Webroot.

I'm not fantastic with computers, but I know enough to get by. I keep my own computer in working condition and free of spyware, etc. Because of that, I'm apparently ridiculously smart and can fix anything. I don't know what the problem here is, my only speculation is that we have virii and spyware beyond measure, and that's what's going on. I feel like the machine is beyond saving.

The advice I give is to stay away from EVERYTHING he visits, except the ACTUAL Yahoo homepage, and he can't even do that, because he is a moron.

Any thoughts on this would be great, because I have no idea.

Thanks.

For those of you who are Democrats

I've just filed my papers to run for Obama delegate to the Denver DNC from the 4th Congressional District. I'm hoping that any of you who know me and are Obama supporters (or, for that matter, disappointed Edwards, Kucinich, etc. supporters) will come to the County caucus on the 6th of April and give me your support. The caucus runs from noon to 2 p.m., and will be at the Laborer's Hall (6310 W. Appleton, I believe).

Looking for a job?

2008-03-16T16:46:07Z

To quell some of my anxiety about recent instability in my industry, I decided to expand upon a job board link list that I’d created for someone a few months ago. I'm not on the job hunt just yet, but it would be good to have available should I need it. After I had it all pulled together and revised last evening, I decided to post it publicly in my journal as a resource.

http://moiracoon.livejournal.com/444360.html

Feel free to link to/share the post. I figured that all of the energy that I channeled into this coping skill project could benefit others too! *laughs* If it helps someone connect with an employment opportunity that they wouldn’t have encountered otherwise, that’s terrific!

Double-Bind: Three Films by Satoshi Kon

Satoshi Kon is at the forefront of a new and energetic movement in Japanese animation, one which portrays the complexity of our contemporary world with adult clarity through the pictorially fantastical and convoluted medium of animé. Beginning with his debut feature Perfect Blue (1998,) Kon has developed a body of work that explores the dissonance between dreams and reality as well as highlighting the impact technology has had upon our collective imagination. His most recent film Paprika "buzzes with a sense of unease about the rapidly changing relationship between our physical selves and our machines"(Manohla Dargis - NY Times).

Friday, February 29 – 7 pm
Saturday, March 1- 5, 9 pm
Sunday, March 2 – 7 pm

Paprika
Paprika is set in the near future where a female psychotherapist, Dr.Chiba, is employing a new prototype device that allows doctors to enter their patients' subconscious minds and record their dreams from the inside. When the device is stolen, Dr.Chiba enlists her "dream detective" alter-ego Paprika to solve the crime.

(Satoshi Kon, Japan, in Japanese w/ English st., 90 min, 35mm, 2007)

Friday, February 29 – 9 pm
Saturday, March 1- 3 pm
Sunday, March 2 – 5 pm

Millennium Actress (Sennen Joy )
In this unique epic adventure, the lines between the past and the present, and truth and fiction, are blurred when a documentary filmmaker fulfills his quest to find the legendary actress Chiyoko Fujiwara and learn why she mysteriously vanished at the height of her brilliant career. When Chiyoko grants the filmmaker’s request for an interview, he, in turn, presents her with a token—a key she had lost and thought was gone forever. The filmmaker could not have imagined that the key would not only unlock the long-held secrets of Chiyoko’s life but also his own.

(Satoshi Kon, Japan, in Japanese w/ English st., 87 min, 35mm, 2002)

Tokyo Godfathers
In modern-day Tokyo, three homeless people's lives are changed forever when they discover a baby girl at a garbage dump on Christmas Eve. As the New Year fast approaches, these three forgotten members of society band together to solve the mystery of the abandoned child and the fate of her parents. Along the way, encounters with seemingly unrelated events and people force them to confront their own haunted pasts as they learn to face their future together.

(Satoshi Kon, Japan, in Japanese w/ English st., 92 min, 35mm, 2004

Total Lunar Eclipse: February 20, 2008

2008-02-20T21:09:08Z

Path of the Moon through Earth's umbral and penumbral shadows during the Total Lunar Eclipse of February 20, 2008. (Eastern Standard Time)

Introduction

A total eclipse of the Moon occurs during the night of Wednesday, February 20/21, 2008. The entire event is visible from South America and most of North America (on Feb. 20) as well as Western Europe, Africa, and western Asia (on Feb. 21). During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon's disk can take on a dramatically colorful appearance from bright orange to blood red to dark brown and (rarely) very dark gray....

Tax Preparation

Hello all! I just joined this community and would like to let everyone know that I am a CPA looking for new tax clients (as a side job). I professionally prepare tax returns and e-file as well, if you'd like. Please email me if you are interest. Thanks!

A magical place and a funny e-mail from my mom...

2008-02-07T00:35:57Z

Apparently there is a place in Grafton where people take their old computers and parts to dispose of them. And anyone can go there and take whatever they want for free.

Its apparently "somewhere near the swimming pool."

I'm trying to follow up on this, but if anyone knows what I'm talking about, please comment with the location.

My fantastically awesome lab has grown by a few routers and Sun Ultra boxes, but I lost some of the linux boxes.... like... I had to send my mom a computer... before my dad killed her for click-fucking his computer to death on the internet.

In fact, I have a funny e-mail from my mom to share with all of you, behind the cut.

Hope everyone is doing good in the snow. I can't wait to dig myself out tomorrow, the snow is higher than the wheel-wells on my car.

Web Hosting

2008-01-13T18:24:26Z

I am currently with Startlogic and I've unfortunately learned the hardware that they aren't as good as they once were or people said they are. As of October 16, Startlogic started 'migrating' users to a new platform. My migration date has come and gone. I am still not able to manually migrate my site to the new platform either. Tech Support still hasn't gotten back to me.

I was wondering if there is anyone out there that could give me some recommendations.

I'm looking for a provider with these features:

>50 GB Storage
>1TB Bandwidth
PHP 5
AJAX
MySQL 5
FTP
SSH
Word Press
Photo Gallery
Multiple domains
cPanel

If Word Press or Photo Gallery aren't included that's fine. As long as I can install them on my own that'd be fine.

Where are all the geeks?

2008-01-01T21:04:37Z

I am a 27 year old female that loves computers, technology, etc. I like to play video games here and there, I have a WIi and 360.

I work as a developer and I am interested in web development and anything internet technology related. Anyone out there like this as well? Any groups of people that get together to talk about technology or programming or anything of that nature. Just wondering.

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (2004)

2007-12-08T15:29:08Z

... the series is a deliberate send-up both of the horror genre and of 1980s TV production. Action series such as Blake's 7, Doctor Who, The A-Team, The Sweeney, cult drama Twin Peaks and various American medical dramas are also obvious influences, and the comedy relies partly on familiarity with such programmes. More obscurely, Darkplace makes reference to Lars von Trier's "haunted hospital" TV series The Kingdom ...
