Trying to re-register accucard.com? :)

I think accucard.com is actually still in the custody of freedom2surf
(I think it's likely that it's still in their tucows reseller
account). They've just parked it and switched the contact details to
tucows privacy. I guess it is more likely to expire with freedom2surf
than if it were with a professional name squatter. If it does expire,
it will be re-registered by a professional name squatter almost
immedaitely though so you'll have to register it fast.

Thanks for the heads up re: wari... my mailserver keeps dieing because
it's overloaded with spam.

rm at wari:~$ netstat -nt | grep :25  | wc -l
62

The problem is it's running from xinetd and xinetd thinks it's
restarting too quickly or something and disables the service. I should
just run it standalone I suppose.

How was GLLUG ? I wanted to go but in the end I slept in instead :(
