I'm so tired at the moment its past being funny. I just have no energy at all. The more I seem to sleep the more tired I feel. I'm just trying to hold out until I get my holiday time, I finally managed to schedule some time off and book myself a holiday. It was a kind of a spur of the moment thing, but I managed to snag some spring training tickets for the cubs so on the 25th of March I'm off to Arizona. I've never been there so I'm lookin forward to doing a bit of driving around and getting to see the cubs play some baseball. Probably the only time I'm going to get to see the cubs this year, you just can't get regular season tickets. There is a chance I might be able to get some tickets when the cubs play the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, but as of yet no luck in getting tickets to Wrigley Field.

All I need to do now is try and keep my workload down until I go on holiday. Stuffs piling up right now, mainly due to the fact I've spent most of the last threee weeks fixing things rather than upgrading and optimizing the stuff we already have. If I can make some headway with my to-do list this week I'll be happier but if I can't, oh well. It can wait till I get back.

The one thing I want to try and sort out before I go away is rolling out SpamAssassin. The amount of spam coming through the servers both here and at the offices is increasing exponetially. I've spent most of today trying to get postfix running on SuSE 9, without much luck I might add. Its supposedly very simple to do, and as such there doesn't appear to be much documentation around. I've found a couple of pages detailing how to get SpamAssasin working, but most of them assume you already have a working postfix install. Oh well, I guess I'll have another go at it tomorrow night when I've had a better nights sleep.

Time to go grab something to eat and watch the new 24 before I try and get some sleep.
