Zimbra is a touted exchange killer application. I have always been interested in group-ware apps because I think they help connect people, solve scheduling conflicts and give users power to communicate better. And we all need help communicating.
That being said on almost every install I do I always try to set up and configure a Open Source group-ware project. But every time I end up going back to my old stand by sendmail, dovecot, squirrelmail. Ugly but a completely functional system.
Anyways I set up Zimbra's open source edition and have been running it for a few days. When I have a little more time to get in depth with its features I will right a review. For now you can check out thier homepage here forums here and flash demohere.
As a admin and a user from what I have seen the app works exactly like the demo. So far so good.

So my new job is exactly that a job nothing great or glorious. I work on servers and take care of problems. But I work with a couple of guys..... it is hard to say I like them all the time but one guy here.... is fucking incredible..... we had a problem with one server not connecting correctly to another .... in one hour he
trouble shot the actual problem
found what process was running where on the machine and how to resolve it
forced a c program to compile against its will
figured out that the program was able to run and was done........
then when we still couldn't find the source of the problems he hopped back in and then from there ran 3 commands (one I am proud to say suggested not that he wasn't already thinking it) and showed us where the process was dying again.
Fuckin amazing..... I couldn't believe it.
DVD Review The Fanatastic 4

Quick Review
Fantastic!
A good movie, reasonable acting, excellent special effects (that are not used to carry the movie) and one hot chick.
Long review,
I read the comics as a kid and was let down quite a bit by Xmen 1 and 2. I wasn't holding out much hope for this one either. I was thinking this is gonna be another Spiderman CGI fest gone bad.
Surprisingly I found the special effects to be used well not totally overdone.
The Thing provided humor and reality to their situation. The Human Torch was the kinda guy we all want to punch. The invisible girl was the kind of girl we would all like to disappeared with. Finally Mr. Stretch........ he was the guy who we all thought "Why is she with him?"
The group was well rounded and their acting worked well together. Doom was a good villain starting out to just be a cock but then turning into a full on bad guy and i thought the special effects from his powers were the best.
Its really pointless to do a review of a old movie but I just wanted to say it was good.
The truth about Patrick

I was trolling through the mug shots at the smoking gun. Celeberty mug shots are always fun. Super low quality make up and hair is ussaully totally messed.
Then I found this little jem. You can read all about Axle/Patrick in Arizona here.
Now normally I would not bat a eye at this....... but he kinda resembles this guy allot ! The one on the right.
So I have to ask "Patrick or should I say Axle what are you really doing on all those out of town trips?"
I think I have to much time on my hands.
