Atomic Rocket Turtle

Atomic Rocket Turtle is a great blog/site that, among other things, documents many hacks (read: modifications), third party compatability reports, and other great info about Plesk Server Administrator.

I really like the SpamAssassin/Qmail/Plesk tutorial. Thanks.

The site runs on a *nuke, so good old backend.php is an rss feed.
