Securing MediaWiki – Making Your Wiki Private

Making your wiki private is something you may require if your wiki is for personal use or if it’s strictly for internal use. To do this one small addition is required in your LocalSettings.php file, add the text in the quote below this line of text:
$wgCacheEpoch = max( $wgCacheEpoch, gmdate( 'YmdHis', @filemtime( __FILE__ ) ) );

# This snippet prevents editing from anonymous users$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; # This lists ages anonymous (not-logged-in) users may see (only the log-in)$wgWhitelistRead = array("Special:Userlogin", "-", "MediaWiki:Monobook.css" );$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false; # This snippet prevents anonymous users registering$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;

Moving Gmail accounts? Move all your existing Gmail to your new Gmail account.

I recently started using Google Apps for my domain and in the process I needed to move all my mail from 2005 – Today. So for anyone else in such a situation or if you are just moving from one Gmail to another, here are the steps.
Step 1: Log in to your Gmail account which holds all your mail
Step 2: Select Settings then Forwarding POP/IMAP
Step 3: Select the radio button beside Enable POP for all mail (even mail that’s already been downloaded)
Step 4: Log in to your new Google Apps email or new Gmail account
Step 5: Select Settings then Accounts and Import
Step 6: In Google Apps select Add a mail account you own, Gmail select Get your mail from other accounts in Gmail using POP3
Now just fill in your POP info into Gmail and your Emails will slowly move on over.
