In [a previous post|blog/20080828/tethered-dialup-with-eeepc-palm-755p-and-alltel], I wrote about setting up a tethered dial-up connection using a Palm Treo 755p and an eeePC.
It seems that during the upgrade process from Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) to 8.10 (Intrepid), something changed in the networking modules and broke this...a little bit.
I just had an opportunity to install a new APC (Model BN1250LCD) UPS to support an Ubuntu Linux server. Configuration was _really_ easy thanks to [this post on the Ubuntu forums|http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=230199] and [this post in Ubuntu's Community Help documentation|https://help.ubuntu.com/community/apcupsd].
Since I started using [Atlassian's Confluence|http://confluence.atlassian.com] in a few projects, I find myself wanting to type in wiki markup everywhere. I especially like being able to create links like this:
[Title of url|url of link]
Using this markup, you can type something like this:
[John's Blog and Stuff|http://www.gobowen.com]

My first, second and third tries at posting to this Drupal site from a cell phone have taught me a lot about the MailHandler module. They've also left me with a few questions.
This is a third test from email. Hopefully, it will format better.
