Random ramblings and ravings of Richy B
Whilst on the subject of outdated cPanel based things, I’ve just put together a quick little script to scan a cPanel based webserver for outdated Coppermine Photo Gallery installations.
As the notes state, the script isn’t pretty, it isn’t efficient, but it works.
Comments/feedback are appreciated.

Do you have many “old” cPanel servers? Perhaps you have the cpanel servers configured in a DNS cluster for redudancy? If so, you may encounter the same problem as I did where you have “stale” (or old) DNS zones cluttering up the server. Here’s a script to get rid of any unused zone files (use at your own risk yadda yadda yadda – you will have to rebuild /etc/named.conf afterwards):
After the previous post on Wikimapia, it was coincidence that I came across the BBC News’ “Landmarks Quiz”. Can you recognise 10 photographs of areas of the UK – but without the distinctive landmarks?
I did quite well scoring 7 out of 10 – I would have probably scored higher if: a) I didn’t stop disbelieving my score after the 5th round (perfect score up to then) and b) if I had actually seen some of the places with or without the landmarks!
How well can you do?
I just thought I’d give Wikimapia a quick go and add my place of work (the LCB Depot on Rutland Street in Leicester) to the system:
Wikimapia looks good – but get it to integrate with Wikipedia itself and Google/Yahoo/MSN Maps and maybe even photographs and you’ll never need to leave the house again (as long as all pizza places have their numbers listed!)
