I stopped by the Apple store in downtown SF yesterday because we were walking around for a bit. I got a chance to play with Aperture on a G5 PowerMac with the 30 inch display. And to tell you the truth, I wasn’t that impressed. I was expecting/hoping for much improved performance, but it seemed […]
So I spent a whole bunch of time writing a VBA script to do mew-style multi-folder re-filing of messages. It works, after a lot of headache and MSDN browsing, but it’s still un-ideal. The main problem is that, each time you run the damn thing, you get multiple instances of the outlook security warning dialog […]
So Live 105.3 stopped airing Howard Stern recently, and switched to the “Morning Music Co-op.” The station’s slogan is that they “fight to keep alternative music alive.” I guess that’s fine, but after you listen to this station for a few days, you realize that’s it’s not different than the others. It plays the same […]
I just looked at it from work, and the side navigation stuff is all the way at the bottom. What happened? Is it because the code part of my post from a few days ago bleeds over in to the side column? Lame.
Instead of trying to get emacs to work, maybe the right way to go about this is to try to learn how to script Outlook to do what I want. With the quick investigation I’ve done into the matter, it should be too hard to write a script that does something similar to mew/wl’s refile […]
xemacs related mailing lists seem to mostly be filled with spam. Feature-wise, it no longer has many advantages over emacs21. It still has a bit more guification, but that seems minor. Gnu emacs21 has all the X-y stuff (variable width fonts, embedded images in buffers, updated look) Every email post, webpage, or piece of writing […]
You know, I always end up creating a list of things I want to buy in the future. Then I end up losing them, and I forget about what I wanted. So in an effort to never make that happen again, I’m going to start writing them here. Apple 30-inch monitor A new digital piano. […]
So mew has special variable call mew-refile-guess-alist which lets you control how ‘refiling’ works.. i.e. how to guess the target folder of the ‘refile’ operation. Mew seems to, in general, offer a different way to read mail that comes from many lists… it works better if you have them all come to your inbox, read […]
Why is there never a perfect piece of software. Wanderlust almost all of what I want, but it has several annoying bugs/misfeatures: It’s single threaded, so if it get’s stuck during an imap sync, the whole damn thing get’s stuck, the whole emacs session is stuck It doesn’t have any way to tell you that […]
