I bought two new domains last night. So this is what I'm planning... 
For many years I have been using Webmin as means of quickly administrating the three servers I am responsible for. How ever when I was recently asked to setup a number of BIND9 DNS servers in a Master/Slave configuration I set about doing this manually as none of the servers in question had any form of web interface. This is how I setup three DNS servers to work in unison, one master and two slaves. I'm Stuart McCulloch Anderson, geek, system administrator, occasional web developer and php coder, back office builder, new media trooper.
I enjoy experimenting with Linux and other Open Source software in my spare time. I run a small home network as well as a collection of servers and experiment with different programs and learning new skills. This tinkering also allows me to fix small bugs in the software that I may uncover.
I program a range of languages for fun including PHP and shell scripting. I have many years experience with Website administration. I have been running my own web server for over 10 years now, and administering various web domains together with the handling of email services. The majority of this work is done for my own gratification and knowledge.

I cant say I ever become a fan of WebOS, unlike some I've talked to it never grew on me and the rare times when I did want to make use of it the App Market was far too over priced and in my experience limited, but now with Android the device 'sings' 
Its a gorgeous Sunday afternoon and I was just about to get stuck into my taxes when I noticed its been over a month since I bought my HP TouchPad, during its legendary fire-sale, with the intention of installing Android the first chance I got. Well I still haven't!
CyanogenMod 7.1 Alpha 3 has been out now for a few weeks so I decided this would be a far better use of my day, taxes will just have to wait. Expect to hear how I get on soon
One problem with my ever growing collection of movies and tv is the volume wars between formats. Add in music video downloads from iTunes and Amazon and the variabations become extreme. With a little creative searching I found an addon that can be added to the ALSA sounds system on my Ubuntu installation to this work on-the-fly 
Windows contains a client-side Domain Name System (DNS) cache. The client-side DNS caching feature may cache results when no valid IP address was found. This article describes how to disable DNS caching for these Negative Entries.
