First, I got my most recent traffic ticket dismissed. ref this post about the ticket. yeah, was a little heavy. They dismissed the charges for “$100 court costs”. If you’ve been following this LJ for a while you’ll know this is the second time I’ve been caught on a suspended license. and this time there was a speeding charge associated. And they just tossed it out. They didn’t even ask for my side of the story. Just walked up to me, took one look, and said, “come here and sign this, we’re dismissing the case”. It may have helped that I was in a shirt/tie/sport coat (and pants, against my will), and everyone else was in jeans and a t-shirt. How anyone can stand in front of a judge with their pants around their knees and their boxers all hanging out is beyond me. Basically it seems the DA was under the impression that I was a “real person” and didn’t belong amongst these miscreants. Seriously, you just have to dress with a little respect. It’s not like the judge comes in wearing fucking sweats and a beater. Oh, I was 2 hours late to court too. There was a power outage and my alarm didn’t go off. but they wouldn’t know that, because they didn’t ask about that either.

Second, Postfix can die in a fire. EDIT: I got it working, it no longer needs to die in a fire.

Third, I love the internet
