Block Specific E-mail Addresses with Exim
Recently I was flooded with e-mails a friend sent me. Mails with PowerPoint or PDF attachments of hundreds of kilobytes with jokes. Although I told him to stop this he ignored me and continued sending me this crap.
I could create a rule in Mail.app which deletes such mails but that wouldn't help as the rule mechanism only works with received mails. But I don't even want to have to download them.
A better solution is to let the mail server (here [Exim](http://www.exim.org)) deny such mails while they are delivered.
Doing Web Application Development the Right Way
About a year ago I first got in contact with [Ruby on Rails](http://www.rubyonrails.org). I don't know anymore what fascinated me more, [Ruby](http://www.ruby.org) itself or the "on Rails" framework. But that doesn't matter, it just felt so good. I did a project with Ruby on Rails and it was a great experience how fast Web Application Development can be. But unfortunately Ruby isn't (yet?) as widespread as [PHP](http://www.php.net) on webservers, so doing it the on-Rails-way was limited to this one project. But then I I found the [symfony](http://www.symfony-project.com) framework a open source web framework for PHP.
THE Bar for Apple Fans?
Last weekend I was out with a few friends and as we walked through the city I noticed this signboard of a bar.
I really couldn't figure out why there is an Apple logo in it...
