Emails Vanishing from a Users Inbox

Posted by admin | Filed under Pick and Mix

This sounds strange doesn’t it, there one minute, gone the next.Initially I thought the server was at fault, perhaps a misguided spambox script was deleting the wrong directory or something like that. Turns out it was much simpler than that, after looking at the maillog (which displays POP3 and IMAP Connections), it turns out the [...]

Reset a Modx Manager Password using SQL

Posted by admin | Filed under Computing and IT, Pick and Mix

Posted by admin | Filed under Computing and IT, Ideas and Thoughts, Pick and Mix

I’m in a dilemma currently, how do I categorise the articles I write on my personal blog. One of the firsts things I did is take a look how Youtube categories content (http://www.youtube.com/browse), it’s pretty broad and generalised. I guess it’s done to make it easy to choose a category, the first one on the [...]
