Blogs on Here be dragons

As I got a bunch of feedback from different people about different clients, I promised to try them and give some feedback on how they worked.

John Gruber has a Text-to-HTML system, called Markdown.

Erich Schubert commented a bit on my post concerning filtering.

One of the things I forgot when listing up what a good email client should do is good integration with the filtering system.

I ended up in a discussion about email clients on #debian-devel today.

Subversion is on crack: : tfheen@yiwaz ..xternal/pkg-mailman/trunk > svn up svn: Working copy '.' locked svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for details) : tfheen@yiwaz ..xternal/pkg-mailman/trunk > Oh well, let’s try…

This is my last day at Hardware.no this summer.

Yay, I finally made the amplification step for my software-controlled fan controller project.

Some time ago, I had my laptop repaired and the motherboard replaced.

Yesterday and today has mostly been chaotic.

We were going to move all the servers from our old ISP to a new one, and in order to prepare a bit for all eventualities, we moved a single server on Thursday.

Am I the only one who is annoyed at the late, broken posts at Planet Debian ?

GUADEC is over and I’m currently sitting on the train back home.

Most of today was spent helping webdeal with one of their Opteron servers.

A rack losing its power and then all the UPSes failing makes a hell of a lot of noise before becoming very, very quiet.

This hasn’t been the most productive of days, I’ve been doing a little registrar work and cleanups, but not very much.

Finally got around to signing all the keys from Debconf 4.

Today was just spent doing registrar work.

Friday, I managed to actually get some work done.

Manoj writes a bit about [appliances versus tools](http://www.golden-gryphon.com/blog/manoj/software/manoj.2004.06.17.golden_gryphon].

Yesterday, I was mostly working on domain and registrar stuff.

I’ve been meaning to blog about what I’ve been doing each day at work, since it will make my life a lot better at the end of the weeks and end of the summer.

I find myself blogging a lot on paper lately.

Each time you fly from somewhere to somewhere else, the crew go through the same procedure before take-off: Turn off all radio receivers and transmitters during the whole flight, and during take-off and landing, please turn off all electronic equipment.

For some random reason, I logged into my Yahoo Groups account today.

I’ve been missing two features for pyblosxom, one is a “fake category” concept, so I can feed Planet Debian not just stuff from my tech and tech/Debian categories, but also stuff from the other categories.

You would think making a macro or shortcut for moving the currently marked message to another folder (namely, my “spam” folder) would be easy?

Yay, it took a little, and why this is not an option somewhere in the options panel, I don’t know.

Why does Thunderbird default to using a cleartext connection to the IMAP server?

Inspired by joeyh’s apocalypse link I decided to read the 12th Perl apocalypse.

As you have noticed, both Planet Debian and my blog has been down for some days.

The host hosting both my blog and “Planet Debian”:planet.debian.net has been down for about 34 hours, and has recently been rebooted.

My laptop hasn’t been too stable recently, it has had problems with locking up for short amounts of time, randomly doing weird stuff and confusing the mouse a bit.

??

The power supply on my laptop has been flaky for a while, but today, in the car, I used a car power supply which was fine and stable.

Up until now, I have been most satistified with my laptop.

This is written while on my way en route from Oslo to Hemsedal, where my father has his cabin.

I really, really hate it when you either run out of host names (so stuff like planets are definetely out, at least for me.

The evening was well spent.

Some friends of mine were running about and saying nice things about greylisting, so I decided to try it and see how it works out.

By popular demand, I’m just including my sync-dotfiles-repos, aka svn2cvs script here.

Most of the day was spent crawling around inside the student society.

Finally got around to writing up a new multiarch proposal.

I actually got around to setting up SVN with mod_dav today.

Just discovered something a bit weird.

Got back home today and was a bit tired so instead of going dancing, I decided to hack Mailman.

Of course, I had to fix pycategories as well.

Of course, after converting my blog to SVN, it seems like pyblosxom decided that traversing through all my .svn dirs was an excellent idea.

SVN already has cvs2svn.
