I hate it when that happens: I have a mail ready to shoot off, but
forget to do so due to a context switch in my brain.

This mail documents the status I should have sent last night round
about
Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2007 00:26:28 +0200

Here goes ...

Now we're running 2007102401!

(adrian at gwyn) /etc/named/xemacs $ dig +short xemacs.org. soa
dig +short xemacs.org. soa
gwyn.tux.org. hostmaster.xemacs.org. 2007102401 5400 3600 7200 5400
(adrian at gwyn) /etc/named/xemacs $ 

My error was to use decimal hour notation.

Here are my corrections.

Funny thing is there's no feedback when one tries to activate an
invalid db.xemacs.
