We did a simpler thing with one guy buying everything, and mostly figured it out more manually, but could have used your system years ago.
The one thing that we did write was some software that downloaded the phone bill from the phone company, and then looked through a list of known phone numbers, and billed the numbers to each person, and then emailed everyone to ask them for any unknown numbers, and they each could reply via email to claim the appropriate numbers, and then remember it for the next month. Any shared destinations had to be claimed every month.
I suppose people don't have house phones now...

I've also just started using a standing desk, and after not being able to find any in stores that I could try out, nailed some boards together and have been using that.
I need to adjust the keyboard height as I estimated about 2 or 3 inches too high.
And I need to make it easier to switch between standing and sitting, right now, the keyboard "tray" gets in the way of when I want to sit, as I have to crouch down a little to see the screen, presumably negating any benefits of standing up...

I use pine (or rather alpine, partly for licensing, though it has newer features than pine as well), and it was fine with the email address, and delivered it to postfix, but postfix couldn't handle it, and choked on the address, saying that ???@???.??? wasn't valid.

it's appropriate, I suppose that I'm readin this from bed...
I got a fancy phone to semi-replace a laptop that I used to carry everywhere, and now that I have a phone that can ssh, email, rss reader, and web, I hardly use the laptop any more and do a lot more computing at odd hours of the night if I wake up, and also first thing in the morning; so far, I've liked it, since I get more work done while just barely waking up.

I've used postfi...
I've used postfix almost exclusively for all my years of working on servers - it is so much easier to figure out what is going on and how to reconfigure it than other mail servers.
As far as the illegitimate emails being a security hazard, that should be easy enough to turn off if you wanted to. My solution to that "security" problem is to set some settings:
smtpd_soft_error_limit=1
# only 1 error allowed when under stress, 8 errors when not (10 is default)
smtpd_hard_error_limit=${stress?1}${stress:8}
smtpd_error_sleep_time=5
smtpd_junk_command_limit=5
# 10 second timeout when under stress, 300 (default) when not.
smtpd_timeout = ${stress?10}${stress:300}
I don't know if I've tested it, but I believe that it counts as an error with a bad rcpt line, so at least forces them to reconnect on error. And then you can limit connections elsewhere.
(PS. <br/> would be nice to add to the safe html tag list, or someway to make the list of postfix commands above show up nicely without doing paragraph tags everywhere. The plain text format lost all of the carriage returns...postgrey is also really handy for eliminating spam, if you haven't used that before.

I have similar feelings, though your graphs are nicer than mine. I'll have to decide whether it is worth the time to switch... Here are my stats

We grew Swiss chard in our garden, and ate it like lettuce, and probably more often cooked it like spinach.
I think it has a more interesting taste than "plain" lettuce, at least the lighter green kinds.

It's nice to know the keyboard shortcuts exist, though it is hard to wrap my head around them. I also like that the emacs shortcuts work in shells and in other programs too occasionally.

heh - I took to ...
heh - I took to emacs fairly quickly (unless I blacked it all out from my memory) - I love keyboard shortcuts, and after reading the tcsh manual and copying various bits of .emacs and .zephyr.vars from friends, I was quite happy with my setup.
But... the only vi command I knew for a long time was :q!
I've since been on some systems that didn't have emacs, and where I couldn't get it installed, or I was only going to be on the system for a minute, so wasn't worth installing anything, though it's probably a toss-up between vi and nano/pico, which is sometimes installed on minimal systems (and I use Pine for email, so I'm quite familiar with the keyboard shortcuts in pico).
The only cut I know is dd, like you say, but you can prefix it with a digit(s) to grab a bunch of lines. And then 'p' or 'P' will paste it in (after or before the current line).
(btw, did you see the last couple emails on nerdcomm? Should I try to figure that out, or is the site dying a slow, unrecoverable death?)

I hadn't seen that graph tool before. That's nice.
And I'm also happy to see that my choice has done quite well: Everbank. I chose them based on their international availability - my local banks didn't have any idea how to get money from a European, and Everbank was quite familiar with the process. I think it would work with my local bank, but I was a little wary to make up the routing numbers that fit into the international format when my bank couldn't give them to me.
They had a nice introduction interest rate too, which was handy at a time when we had a bunch of money lying around.

In a strange turn of events, while driving to Hamilton, Ontario, and New Hampshire, I actually waited to get gas in Ontario and Connecticut... Very weird. Those two places are usually the most expensive.
They weren't as cheap as the places you listed, but I wasn't driving to those places either.. $2.83 in Connecticut, where usually I try to make sure I don't need to get gas in Connecticut, and $2.96(US) in Ontario the week before.

I have signed up with "wholesale" carriers and run asterisk on my co-located server. I had trouble with one carrier (icall.com/termination.com, supposedly an American company out of CT, but the credit card is billed from Israel) that stopped responding to support requests, but my other carrier (gafachi.com) has been excellent (though they don't have incoming numbers, other than toll-free and rochester, ny, so I just signed up with IDV.net, and so far they have been good, but I have only been with them a week.
I am getting to the place where I am hosting people besides myself, but I can't really advertise it yet, since I don't have any GUIs or anything where people can edit stuff themselves.

I never had them growing up - one of my parents isn't all that thrilled with them, and I had similar thoughts to you - and then I had them in middle school or high school at a friend's, and they weren't all that bad.
My wife found a recipe that she really likes - fancier than just plain ones. The basic idea is to boil/heat them in a cream sauce. I think the cream must have a touch of some sort of sweetener.
(and because I don't know if there is a better place to comment - have you seen this guy? Maybe you should do likewise, and get some company to pay for your trip... http://sursumcorda.salemsattic.com/post/1/1143
