Still more Rore, voice lesson, Cantabile

Rore

The reason for more is partly that I didn’t finish proofreading the
bass part or the score yesterday. But mostly that John thinks I
should write out a simplified version, for if both Bassano and Dalla
Casa are too hard.

email

Judy about June 5 recital, John about Camusette mistake, Sarah about
listing inconsistencies,

BRS

Tried calling the Central Square Bulk Mail guy about the permit. The
voice mail maze wouldn’t connect me. The web site says you shouldn’t
pay until you are doing your first mailing, because it lasts for a
year after you pay. So that means we don’t expire until the end of
May. I mailed this information to the board.

SPF attempt

I looked at the LJ article about rejecting mail based on SPF, and
decided to try upgrading postfix. That resulted in the following:

apt-get install postfix
546 apt-get install postfix-pgsql postfix-mysql resolvconf
558 apt-cache search spf
559 apt-get install libmail-spf-query-perl
560 apt-get install libsys-hostname-long-perl

I hope I did the resolvconf install right. I haven’t taken anything
up and down yet.

The README file for libmail-spf-query-perl says:

describes the files under sample/

* postfix-policyd-spf

If you run a recent snapshot version of Postfix, this policy
server will plug right in. You don’t need to run spfd.

But dpkg -L doesn’t list any sample directory, or a file named
postfix-policyd-spf. So I don’t know how to plug it in. Google
managed to find me the file, and it’s a perl script that I wouldn’t
know what to do with if I had it. The Postfix manual has an example
of implementing a policy daemon, but it looks like it expects a file,
and I don’t know where the file is. So I need more instructions.

Lunchtime. But the next time to look at this, use
http://spf.pobox.com/postfix-policyd.txt, which has a pointer to the
postfix documentation in it.

More Rore and recorder lesson

Copying

Had to copy the Bransles I borrowed from John. The secret seems to be
upping the “Quality Calibration Threshold”. It makes most of the
staff lines come out on the copy.

Also scanned Sunny’s rabies vaccination certificate. Saved it as
~/documents/sunny/rabies04.png.

BRS

Sent the board a request for news items. I’ll be sending the New
School a check, but I’ll wait a couple of days and see if I want to do
any more work on the new accounting system.

Car

The air conditioner doesn’t work, and it’s an obscure electrical
problem that they have no idea how long it would take to find. By my
normal standards, this means it’s time to find a better car. By this
year’s standards, it may mean I have to live through the summer with
no air conditioning. But if anyone knows of a good, cheap, small car,
I’d be interested.

Finally, power’s on (10 AM)

Power woes

We’d been having outages all week, and NSTAR called yesterday
morning to say the power would be out from midnight to 8 am. It was
actually 1:30 to almost 10 AM.

More mozilla woes

Some lock file didn’t get removed (I’m guessing) when I shut down last
night for the power shutdown without exiting mozilla. So I couldn’t
get into my own profile, and the more or less random button pushing I
did ended up removing my profile, so I’m without all my bookmarks.

Music Publishing

Did a practice version of the van Eyck Comagain, with the
variations in score, to make it easier to play a phrase in all
versions. Used the etf files from Frank’s edition.

Some day will do it barred the way van Eyck did. Some of the lily
beaming defaults don’t work right.

Reading

Needed a real Jane Austen, so I downloaded Pride and Prejudice from
memoware, just before the Power went off.

1632 turned out to be violent and badly written so as to be
unreadable.

Pop server changing

I edited /etc/fetchmailrc to reflect the mail from your-site.com that
the incoming mail server was changing (from mail.laymusic.org to
pop.laymusic.org). I didn’t have one about bostonrecordersociety.org,
but I edited that anyway.

Both machines can be pinged. I have sent test mail to both
accounts, and so far it hasn’t shown up.

I don’t seem to have the hang of running fetchmail with the verbose
option these days. I always used to be able to do it.

Got it; you have to kill the daemon. Just stopping the job
doesn’t do it.

And the test mails showed up.

What I’m doing

BRS

The new Mozilla version crashes on the bostonre account.
I managed to get it to start and put back the homepage and bookmarks,
but it’s very odd. That didn’t happen for the lconrad login.

Updated web home page.

Emailed Anne Riesenfeld about scheduling the summer sessions.

Got postcard from Sheila using BRS mailing permit. Need to call
post office about changing that.

Personal business

Appointment for car on Monday.

Appointment for me with Anne Rodman.

website

Started comparing html to db. Much html missing, very little db
missing. This is surprising.

Cantabile

Put part assignments up at the
walk page; emailed wfh list about them, and about the passes and
t-shirts I ordered yesterday.

Music Publishing

Emailed Frank, so I ABC’d “Woe Betide my weary body
I’m sure the Ann
Heyman arrangement is copyright, so I won’t worry about putting it up.

Back on Track

Webpage:

Finished getting data from backup into postgresql. Need to replace
missing data, and catch up.

Software installs

Read Linux Journal, and downloaded:

  • SQL-Ledger, which looks like it might be an improvement over
    gnucash. I did the basic install, but it hangs when I try to create a
    user.

  • Blosxom, which seems to be basically working.

Practicing

Singing

Gershwin, A foggy day

Recorder

Non Gemme, non fin oro with divisions for Hope’s class. Also vanEyck
Comagain and Country dance tunes for Walk for Hunger.

Serpent

Probably doing both “Estans assis” and Watertown at Walk for Hunger.

Reading

Jane Austen Juvenilia. Makes Northanger Abbey look really good.

Installed 1632 from “Hell’s Faire.iso”

Movies

Have the second disk of West Wing.

Eric Rohmer’s Chloe in the Afternoon.
