Make it Happen
August 2nd, 2008 at 1:39 pm by ZacqueTags: business, drinking, making it happen, philosophy
The phrase “Make it happen.”, is one of my well known business mantras. This doesn’t mean to make it happen all the time. I cannot function when I work all the time and neither should anyone else. It is a wonderful practice to also make time for one’s self. Finding the balance between the two is the key to success.
I was reminded by this while one of my colleagues was celebrating his birthday last Saturday. While he and I speak about our business ventures to each other quite frequently, we both live our own lives and carry on through seperate lines of work outside of these other ventures. This night in particular, we were both celebrating. In the midst of the celebration he brought up some business I have known both of these people for a number of years. Thankfully, they both took my advice and the celebrating continued.
While there are somethings that I may say to try to do all the time, there is a time and a place for everthing under the sun.

Sometimes its kind of interesting when I wake up with music stuck in my head. I think I could get used to it again. Heck, it beats not wanting to get out of bed.

FIX: Pyzor 0.4.0’s Discover Problem
July 24th, 2008 at 1:27 pm by MarkTags: bugs, developers, hosting, pyzor, sarcasm, software, sourceforge, spam, spamassassin
If you’re using Pyzor to help you block spam (a lot of people use it alongside SpamAssassin), then you’ve probably run into these nasty “pyzor: check failed: internal error” messages in your maillog since July 21st.
After digging into on my own a bit, I found two things. The first was the “InternalError” was being caused by a corrupt “servers” file that contained nothing but “File Not Found” information. The second was that the “discover” command line was returning:
downloading servers from http://pyzor.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/inform-servers-0-3-x
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/pyzor”, line 4, in ?
pyzor.client.run()
File “/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyzor/client.py”, line 991, in run
ExecCall().run()
File “/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyzor/client.py”, line 185, in run
self.servers = self.get_servers(servers_fn)
File “/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyzor/client.py”, line 410, in get_servers
servers.read(open(servers_fn))
File “/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyzor/client.py”, line 119, in read
self.append(pyzor.Address.from_str(line))
File “/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyzor/__init__.py”, line 458, in from_str
fields[1] = int(fields[1])
IndexError: list index out of range
Obviously, linking to non-existent files, especially in the /cgi-bin/ directory, is a bad thing.
As a temporary measure, simply disable your “pyzor discover” cron job, and manually add “82.94.255.100:24441” into your “servers” file (wherever it may be with your configuration).
