Integrating nullmailer with Amazon Simple Email Service (SES)

Sometime you need just to allow system tools (i.e. cron) to send mail to the hostmaster. Setting up (and maintaining) a smtp server like sendmail, Postfix or Exim is too much. What you need is nullmailer, a sendmail/qmail/etc replacement MTA for hosts which relay to a fixed set of smart relays.

Here are some notes about how to setup nullmailer to use Amazon SES (Simple Email Service). This guide applies to Ubuntu boxes, but you can easily adapt it to other Linux flavors.

I assume that you already know how to setup an Amazon Simple Email Service account and how to test it in the sandbox . This means that you have signed the service, verified and tested at least a couple of e-mail address using Amazon Management Console facility. If this is not your case, please refer to this guide.

To begin, you will need to set up a secure tunnel using stunnel package. In the following procedure, we use port 2525 as your stunnel port. If you are using a differe

Quick virtualenv fix on Mountain Lion

Overview

It appears that Apple somehow broke Python in Mountain Lion, so even with the latest Command Line Tools and Xcode 4.4 virtualenv won't properly work. During virtual environment creation it will try to install easy_install inside /Library hierarchy. So let's give it a quick workaround. Let's install custom python into your $HOME-directory using pythonbrew!

Installing proper Command Line Tools

Without the Apple Mac Developer account you won't even see the proper download link for the latest CL Tools and the old one won't work on ML. So here's the link: http://goo.gl/iBTXh. It points towards the Apple website so don't worry.

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = [email protected]:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

One of my favorite past times is to look at the notebooks of famous scientists. Da Vinci's notebook is well known, but there plenty others. Worshipping Da Vinci like no other, I bought a Think/Create/Record journal, used it mostly to keep jot down random thoughts and take notes. This was great in the beginning, but the conformity of lines drove me nuts. Only moleskines made blank notebooks, so I had to buy one.

At the same time I started a freelance project. The project itself is irrelevant, but suffice to say it was very complex and spanned several months. It seemed like a perfect opportunity to use the moleskine. Looking back, all my entries fell under few categories:

• Todo
• Question
• Thought
• Bug
• Feature
