The command is postmap. Hope this is useful for someone else too! postmap /etc/postfix/virtual.cf /etc/init.d/postfix restart
November 10th is here and Modern Warfare 2 is finally out! Shops here in Ireland opened at midnight last night and I briefly thought about hopping down to the Gamestop in Blackpool. I didn’t, and I won’t buy it until I have my BarCamp Cork talk is done. That should ensure I have it written [...]
Have Macbook. Check. Have DOSBox. Check. Have external mouse. Check. Have Syndicate. Check. Syndicate is a game I played a lot in the early nineties. I was never any good at games (some things never change!), but this is one of the few games I stuck with and managed to finish. The original game came [...]
