Panther ships with postfix instead of sendmail

I've been using localhost as my smtp server for quite some time on my PowerBook. It hasn't worked for a couple of days, and therefore, I've just stopped sending e-mail when I'm at work (I use my ISPs server at home). Finally, I buckled up and did 5 minutes worth of research to figure out the problem. It turns out that Panther doesn't ship with sendmail (which I previously had configured), but rather postfix - which I've never even heard of. Thanks to a little searching on the Apple Support site, I came across this discussion which has detailed instructions on how to configure postfix. The bonus is and that they actually worked! I still don't know what postfix is, but I assume it's just like sendmail, but for some reason it's better (or why would they have replaced sendmail).

What do you get a 1 year old for their birthday?

Abbie in September Abbie turns 1 year old next Wednesday - a birthday so good that they've decided to release The Matrix: Revolutions on the same day! We're having a party this weekend (yes, a keg will be there for the papas) and I don't know what to get her for her birthday. So I'm asking all you Dads out there - what was the coolest gift you got your kid(s) for their 1st birthday? When I say cool - I mean to say that they thought it was cool. Of course, if Mom thought it was cool - that counts too (esp. since it seems to be just as much for her as for Abbie).

Apache 2.0.48 and 1.3.29 Released!

The most popular web server has some new releases for you security conscious developers. What's changed? View the release notes for Apache 2.0.48 or for 1.3.29. You can download both versions here.

I found it strange that Panther shipped with 1.3.28 rather than 2.0.47 - luckily, I was able to quickly install 2.0.47 (thanks to a backup of /usr/local) and disable 1.3.28.
