Why am I keeping so many domain names and not using them?
Uncategorized
I got this message from someone claiming to be jawad and so shy (or defensive) to give his real email account. He has a valid reason why I am keeping www.allaboutpakistan.com but not using it. The reason is, I don't have enough time but I am building my domain portfolio for the time when I would have time to build something but not have a good domain name in hand. Jawad, if you are reading this and have a nice idea about this domain? ping me and I can hand this domain over to you.

Facebook Inappropriate ads
Last time I wrote a piece on Facebook duplicate ads but this time I am being offered to watch Free Indian movies online. I actually visited this link and it offers the content without any subscription. I am pretty sure the copyright holders of these movies would be pissed off when they hear this.

Today, I found a hint to its solution on the sourceforge.net email archives. This is a known bug and it will be fixed in next public release, if you don't wish to wait, you can do a devel-update of your webmin.
Webmin’s Software Package Update emails are not working
I have wrote yesterday about Webmin 1.5 features. I especially liked the one that will send me a notification when there is any update available to any of the components installed on my Linux box. To my disappointment, I never got any Software Package Updates module's email notification, instead I got this in my mailbox Undefined subroutine &main::list_all_current called at /usr/libexec/webmin/package-updates/update.pl line 12. I have no clue what this means or how do I fix it. Any one who can help me with this? Update: A fix is available for this bug
