The Task Scheduler action "Send an e-mail" needs to be able to authenticate before sending.
To do this, I enabled the SMTP Feature in Windows, went into the firewall, disabled all the external access rules (just to be on the safe side), and allowed 127.0.0.1 to relay.
The Send Email action I set to use localhost for the SMTP server. The "From" setting is not used in the authentication process, rather the user account the Task is acting as.

The error messages I got through this process are:
Error Value: 2147746319 - Relay not permitted
Error Value: 2147746321 - Account not authenticating

I've got a new computer (paid for by Uformia to use for work) and I'm int he process of transitioning from Goliath to Hulk (for lack of a better name).

Updating the server backup configuration to use GPG to sign the backups.

Export public and private key:
gpg --armor --export-secret-key [KEY ID] --output key.priv.gpg

Import public and private key:
gpg --import key.priv.gig

Trust key
gpg --edit-key [KEY ID]
trust
5
^D

5 Specifies ultimate trust, which means "This key is mine". Trust level of 4 is not sufficient for Duplicity to use for signing backups.

Discovered today that while I was safely encrypting duplicity backups with a GPG key, I hadn't stored the key safely (other then in the backup itself). If the servers had failed, this would have left me with a backup that I couldn't access.

Working on Uformia's upcoming beta release. This has been eating most of my time, including two trips to the UK in the month. This got me out of the habit of posting, I'm attempting to get back into it now.

Finished the RagTag project to beta stage. This will be used by Uformia, and may be released as an open source project.

Continued work on the Evogrid.

While working on the Evogrid, accidentally deleted my .c files instead of .o files. Fortunately I was able to find ext3grep, that allows you to semi-automatically parse the ext3 inode structure and journal, to identify transactions involving the file before it was deleted, and the blocks used in those transactions. With a bit of luck, the blocks will not have been re-used, leaving the contents of the files available to be read off the device. I was able to recover 2 of the 3 deleted files, with the lost file overwritten due to me being in an editor when the file was deleted, which wrote the changes on exit.
