00:10.08MG_Takdamnit I heard this hilarious song in the car and I can't find out what it was. :(
00:11.22trekedetails.
00:13.16MG_Taktreke: on?
00:13.23trekethe hilarious song.
00:13.27MG_Takoh
00:13.37MG_Takit's kinda rap-ish. it's just some guy taking shots at everyone
00:16.44revwhat kind of shots?
00:16.58rever food
00:17.04revunderground hip hop not commercial rap tho
00:17.36MG_Takhe just kinda makes fun of everyone
00:17.46MG_Taksomething about Nelly not sounding gangsta
00:17.49revheh
00:17.51trekerev: You dont look like much of a rap guy
00:17.55MG_Takand about R Kelly and Fred Durst or something
00:17.57revwell
00:17.59revi'm not a rap guy
00:18.02revbut i do listen to hip hop
00:18.03rev:)
00:18.04absentia3re
00:18.08revthough not exclusively or anything
00:18.13revi listen to a bunch of stuff
00:18.15revabsentia3: sup sup
00:18.29revwell, i can't say i dance
00:18.35revfor me it's more that my mind reacts
00:19.38MG_Taktreke: only other detail I have is that the guy sounds sorta hispanic
00:19.43MG_Takand he keeps saying "I tease"
00:19.47MG_TakI think
00:23.45absentia3god dammit
00:23.51absentia3mozille for freebsd can't use netscape.net mail
00:23.54absentia3opera can't even sign in
00:24.09absentia3on the pc, netscape signs me in with who is using aol im at the moment, and this isn't the account... that I want to use
00:24.18absentia3and it doesn't give you any other way to log in with another user
00:24.28revabsentia3: that sucks
00:24.29revthat's weird
00:24.30rev:/
00:24.35absentia3and when I log out of aol im and then log in with the proper user, it won't allow me to delete mail.
00:24.47revhaha
00:24.47absentia3this happens repeatedly... and then a day or so later, it goes back to normal
00:24.50revweird
00:27.18absentia3ah, nyetscrape 4.7 under blows seems to allow me to use netscrape mail
00:27.22absentia3I need to get a new mail system
00:27.53revget an account at hotpop
00:27.56revand use it elsewhere
00:28.03revlike on your Z etc

00:28.17absentia3true
00:28.31absentia3I just want to get up tmda/tmda-cgi on my own domain... I've just been far too lazy.
00:28.38revah
00:29.17absentia3that's what I use a lot
00:29.22absentia3but I'll still have tmda in front of it.
00:29.48absentia3ie: ssh + pine is mua.. I'm talking about mta.
00:33.12trekehmmm. looks like I'll be switching to osx on my laptop.
00:34.05revoh?
00:34.08revdidn't know you had a mac
00:34.20revi'm happy to finally have a computer gain
00:34.23revi gave my ibook to my gf
00:34.28trekedont yet.
00:34.41revand have been at a loss lately, with the c760 not cutting it for use as my primary machine
00:34.50revbut i rekon this sig3 may fill the niche, so i'm happy
00:34.52revoh?
00:34.57revwhat kind of mac you thinking about getting it?
00:34.58rever
00:34.58revgetting
00:35.02revand why do you have to run OS X?
00:35.16revalthough i ran OS X instead of linux for a number of reasons
00:35.28revi was pretty disapointed in linux on PPC
00:35.31revat least on that machine
00:36.21revack
00:36.23revstupid xchjat
00:36.34revin a channel like so, it blanks out my tet
00:36.36revrather
00:36.47revchanges the foreground color to the background color so that i can't see it
00:37.03revunless i do a select all (ctrl-a), and then it goes back to normal
00:37.04revgrr
00:37.13trekehehe. Work is apparently issuing me a power book.
00:37.21revhell yeah!
00:37.26revany particular reason?
00:37.29revor just cuz they're swell folks?
00:37.36trekebasically the latter
00:37.43trekeat the moment I've got a compaq laptop
00:40.36rev...
00:40.42revand that sucks too bad, so they're giving you an upgrade?
00:42.37trekeActually, I like my compaq :p
00:42.44revah
00:42.44revwekll
00:42.45rever
00:42.45revwell
00:42.48revthen why not keep it?
00:43.01trekeI am keeping it :)
00:43.12revahhh nice
00:43.12trekethe compaq is a personal machine that I've used almost 100% for work
00:43.16revah
00:43.16revoh
00:43.23revi thought they boguht you the compaq a while back
00:43.41trekenah, I bought the compaq since I needed a laptop
00:43.57revah
00:43.59trekegreat machine
00:44.03revcool
00:44.45trekeWe'll see if I ever end up liking osx :)
00:44.53revheh
00:45.00revwhy do they want to do a pb now?
00:45.16trekeboss is a cool guy, and he loves his new powerbook
00:45.20revah sweet
00:45.27revwhat size you gunna get?
00:45.39trekenot sure. my guessis 15inch
00:45.43revmmhmm
00:46.07trekefor the best, I'm usually clueless when mac users have questions :)
00:46.22revah
00:46.26revheh
00:46.36revwelcome to the high church of jobs
00:46.39treke"email me the output of nestat | ifconfig | awk '{sed s/foo//g}'"
00:47.00revon this mac? :PO
00:47.16trekerev: that's usually my response to mac questions :)
00:47.19revah
00:47.20revheh
00:47.20rev:P
00:47.44trekevery much a console guy a heart
00:47.48revmmhmm
00:48.04revyou could always just run darwin
00:48.10trekehehe
00:48.11revor still have vanilla OS X installed, but quit the gui layetr
00:48.26trekewell, I also like my X  for multiple consoles.
00:48.29revmmhmm
00:48.46revafter my crappy stint at using linux/ppc on the ibook i went to os x + x11 with no quartz
00:48.53revbut gave up on that after a while too, but it can be done
00:48.59trekewhat was wrong with linux/ppc :)
00:49.02revwell
00:49.06trekenot used it much, but it seemed to work well
00:49.07revit seemed unnaturally slow
00:49.12revseemed a lot slower than it should've been
00:49.16revi dunno
00:49.36rev"seemed slow" = gui system and apps were slow
00:49.47revmind you i was running very little - ion + squeak + opera
00:49.55revi tried gnome 2 when it came out and it was punishment
00:50.05reveven though gnome 2 doesn't run that bad on my k6-2/350
00:50.18revand the 500 mhz ibook itself isn't only as fast as a k6-2/350, that's for sure
00:50.21trekegnome 2 feels slow on my home machine
00:50.31revyes
00:50.35revit does on any machine i've tried it on
00:50.40revbut this was slower, death slow
00:50.50revalso, the squeak VM for  unix/linux is worse than the one for Mac OS
00:51.01revmore and better optimization on Mac OS, X or classic
00:51.03revnot sure why
00:51.06revhaha
00:51.08revno crap
00:51.43revand while OS X sucks RAM like it's going out of style
00:51.52revit was faster than any environment i tried on linux/ppc
00:52.01revwhich seems odd
00:52.01trekegonna try the new gnome out, see if I can get myself onto gui apps
00:52.04revyeah
00:52.12revi used gnome2 for a while on the k6-2
00:52.17trekebiggest kicker is mail
00:52.22revwhen i first installed RH8 and didn't get around to compiling ion
00:52.26revwhy?
00:52.26trekeI've yet to figure out a decent way to do mail
00:52.33revwhy not just continue using mutt or whatever cli mail?
00:52.51trekerev: If I do that I'll end up going to my 1970s ways again :)
00:54.01revmeh
00:54.16revcan't just do a little of each?
00:54.26revi do it all in squeakl ('cept browsing, of course)
00:54.29trekeI've tried.
00:54.31revthough my email is pine
00:54.58trekefirst it's my email, next it's my news reading, then all the suddent irc, then file managent :p
00:55.04revso?
00:56.45trekethat's where the kicker is, when I release I'm not using any of the gui stuff, I just reinstall ion and I'm back to square one :p
00:56.56trekerealize
00:58.05absentia3re
01:01.21revheh
01:01.22revwell
01:01.33revwhat do you use for email?
01:01.38trekemutt
01:01.41revah
01:01.52trekethe biggest reason i don't use anything else is performance
01:02.07trekeI've got a shit load of email in my mailbox and imap always seems slow as shit
01:02.18revah
01:02.24revpine always worked fine for me
01:02.27revmail.app in OS X too
01:02.33revalthough i only have 20 MB or so of mail
01:02.45revand squeak's email client - pop not imap- handles my 40 mb archive
01:02.51revbut that's little compared to what you're likely talking about
01:03.04trekevery few of my folders go over 40mb
01:03.06revah
01:03.51trekehmm. inbox is up to 30 megs
01:04.15revah
01:04.48trekeseems really snappy

03:12.18offroadgeekyup... it was $25 for tumnus' Z... he's in the UK
03:12.20revalthough i don't think i will any more
03:12.21gerrynjrrev> same here
03:12.22revbut i was thinking about it
03:12.25revgerrynjr: oh?
03:12.33revi may do all my math on the CE machine andn ot the Z
03:12.35revwe'll see
03:12.41offroadgeekrev> works just fine... haven't noticed a single problem with it
03:12.44revah sweet
03:12.46revgood to know
03:12.56revalthough i could use F1 on the CE machine too i suppose, they said i could get a refund if i caouldn't get it ti work
03:13.05revgood to know off
03:13.11revdo you run the sharp rom?
03:13.14revor opie/oz?
03:13.18offroadgeekcacko's rom
03:13.28revi've wondered if it conflicts with the JVM that comes with the sharp ROM
03:13.41offroadgeekdon't think there's a stable opie/oz for the 760 yet... otherwise I'd try it
03:14.12offroadgeekwhen I ran the sharp rom, I just un-installed it... then installed jeode
03:14.48offroadgeekI have no real reason for un-installing it... my java apps worked fine with it as well
03:15.04revi don't think so either
03:15.06revyeah
03:15.14revuninstalled it?
03:15.18revi don't think you can un install the built in JVM
03:15.26revi suppose if you delete files manually, perhaps a script?
03:16.06gerrynjrrev> if I buy it, i'd attempt to run it on OZ
03:16.16revah
03:16.18revwell
03:16.24revif you can't get it to work they'll give you a refund at least
03:16.28revsounds like you can't loose you know?
03:16.35offroadgeekrev>  actually I think you can
03:16.41revor you could be like me and run octave and maxima
03:17.00revoffroadgeek: not in my uninstaller, but maybe it shows up in ipkg commands
03:17.33offroadgeekI remember in the uninstaller the option for the jvm... don't remember what the ipk was named though... weird name
03:18.04offroadgeekwhat's octave and maxima?
03:21.08treke|laptophmm. they actually did get the streets close to correct
03:22.01gerrynjroffroadgeek> my dad said he thought you were gonna pulla  quick one
03:22.13gerrynjroffroadgeek> he nearly dropped a brick when he read the fedex page
03:22.52offroadgeekgerry>  seriously?  hmm
03:23.00gerrynjroffroadgeek> that my dad though...
03:23.02gerrynjrparanoid
03:23.20offroadgeekI guess I would be too though...
03:24.23offroadgeekespecially when you think it's three Zs being given away and shipped for free
03:25.13poohey - how bout giving away one to someone who doesn't already have one! :)
03:25.22gerrynjroffroadgeek> ok, ok.. I was a bit paranoid

12:29.48Twiunthe one in the feed is way too old btw, Kaffe is now at version 1.1.2

12:30.07Twiunor commandline apps?
12:30.19razzleI want to test my homework (console) apps on my Z
12:30.43razzlethat is, it's an app that reads in a list of strings and sorts them with quicksort
12:30.51Twiunwhy don't you use the j2me download from Sun?
12:31.08Twiun(Kaffe on the Zaurus is still too raw for non-developers)
12:31.21razzlehm does it work with oz?
12:31.47Twiunyou'll have to unpack it manually, but yeah, there's no reason why it shouldn't work
12:32.00TwiunOZ is still a linux distribution
12:32.12Twiunthere's nothing mystical about it
12:32.15razzleok.. so there's just no .ipkg, that's all?
12:32.36Twiunno, it comes an ipk file - but it's badly packaged
12:35.24Twiunthat's a JVM. You'll need to also download a compiler (jikes is my preferred one on the Z) and a class library, most likely the classes.zip from one of the 1.1.8 JDKs
12:35.28razzleum I looked here http://java.sun.com/j2me/download.html which is the right link?

12:45.45TwiunI hope they're letting you develop locally, not through telnet at least ;)
12:47.01razzleyeah and ssh when I'm at home
12:48.25MG_Taknothin' quite like export DISPLAY to me.
12:49.29razzle(and X tunneling thru ssh)
12:51.39Twiuntunneling X through ssh over 25 hops kills performance ;)
12:52.08MG_TakX tunneling through SSL'ed SMTP.
12:52.16razzlesure does..that's why I usually don't use it, just a simple ssh console is enough for me
12:52.21MG_TakJust a /little/ bit of overhead.
12:52.50Twiunrazzle: absolutely - that's what I'm doing atm - sshing from work into my home server

12:55.07TwiunMG_Tak: I would - it's not hard to do either
12:55.24TwiunMG_Tak: squid on the linux end, and set up the IM to use the proxy
12:58.50razzlehm i got pp4zaurus and jikes now, where do I find the classes.zip?
12:59.05razzlejdk is j2se now but I can't find the zip file in there anymore
12:59.23Twiunget hold of any 1.1.8 JDK, there will be one in there
13:05.34razzlehm tough one, sun doesn't seem to host it anymore
13:05.52Twiunhave a look on blackdown.org
13:05.59Twiunthey use the Sun sources
13:06.22razzleok
13:13.22razzleaah got it
13:14.57Twiunto compile with jikes, you'll need to add that classes.zip as the first item on the classpath
13:16.22razzlelet's see.. first I should install jikes?
13:16.45Twiunjikes for the Zaurus will be in a tarball - no ipk for it
13:17.35Twiunhttp://adorphuye.com/files/ the ZJikes.zip file
13:18.51razzlehm i got the one from http://www.micronova.com/ZAURUS
13:18.52razzleis it the same?
13:19.26Twiunprobably
13:19.36Twiunyou'll soon know if it doesn't work
13:19.58MG_TakTwiun: oh, that way
13:20.18MG_TakTwiun: I was thinking exporting mozilla and gaim
13:20.26TwiunMG_Tak: Good god, no ;)
13:20.37TwiunMG_Tak: I'm on a p2 266 at work ;)
13:20.53razzlelooks like there's only a binary in there. So I just need to extract it, right?
13:20.56TwiunMG_Tak: w2k, so opera and trillian. puTTY for the ssh
13:20.58MG_Takthat is frightening
13:21.04MG_Takopera kicks ass
13:21.09TwiunMG_Tak: want frightening? Eclipse is usable ;)
13:21.14MG_Taktrillian, I don't like much
13:21.25Twiunrazzle: yep
13:21.43TwiunMG_Tak: I need to be on AIM, MSN and Y! at the same time... easier (cheaper on the ram too)
13:21.54razzlegaim keeps crashing for me when I connect my ICQ account
13:21.55TwiunMG_Tak: use the sources and change it back ;)
13:23.28MG_TakDo you think I'd be in this channel if I was capable of helping myself that much? ;)
13:25.40TwiunAhhhh, I dunno ;)
13:25.49Twiunlots of people straddle a few channels
13:28.00razzledo you think it'll work if I extract jikes  on my cf card in /mnt/cf/usr/bin ?
13:30.20razzleor /mnt/cf/opt/QtPalmtop/bin?
13:30.39Twiunit makes no difference where you put it as long as:
13:30.54Twiun1) that path is on the PATH, or,
13:31.12Twiun2) the jikes binary is symlinked from a path which is on the PATH
13:31.40Twiunyou could also use absolute paths everytime you call it ;)
13:32.32razzleI'll just put it symlink it to my /usr/bin then
13:32.36razzle-pu
13:32.37razzlet
13:37.20razzlehm wtf.. i did ln -s /mnt/cf/usr/bin/jikes /usr/bin/jikes but when I try /usr/bin/jikes or just jikes it says no such file ..
13:38.28Twiundis you chmod +x the jikes binary?
13:38.35Twiuns/dis/did/
13:39.20razzleit runs fine when i try /mnt/cf/usr/bin/jikes
13:39.31razzledo i need to chmod the symlink, too?
13:39.45Twiunno, symlinks usually are chmod 777
13:39.56razzlehm so whydoesn't it work?
13:40.32yeiazells -l /usr/bin/jikes
13:42.20razzleAAH
13:42.26razzleerror found
13:42.38razzlei didn't type the complete path when creating the symlink

13:43.43razzleok working now
13:45.35razzlelet's see..$CLASSPATH is emtpy. Now I'm supposed to put the classes file in a directory and point CLASSPATH to it, correct?
13:46.08Twiunno, with jar and zip files just put them straight into CLASSPATH
13:46.31Twiunit's only when you have .class files in a directory that you want to add the directory to the CLASSPATH
13:47.15Twiunoh yeah, and you'll find that adding the current dir somewhere in the classpath will save you some hassle
13:47.51razzlehehe i somehow guessed the later one.. though where am I supposed to put the classes.zip after all? didn't get that
13:48.42Twiunanywhere at all
13:49.09Twiunas long as you do something like export CLASSPATH=some/path/classes.zip
13:49.48razzleso the whole CLASSPATH could be export CLASSPATH=/foo/classes.zip;. ?
13:50.15Twiunalmost.... what's your path separators, this isn't windows :)
13:50.46razzleack
13:50.46razzle:
13:50.48Twiuns/what's/watch/
13:51.02Twiunyeah, that should do it
13:51.12razzlei could lie now and say I just hit the wrong key on my keyboard..lol
13:51.47Twiunwhen you start running with the j2me binary (cvm) you specify the classpath without classes.zip using: cvm -Djava.class.path=somepaths
13:52.26Twiunyou're lucky you're getting to learn this stuff in a course ;)
13:53.09Twiun... from the javadocs :)
13:53.58razzlei know, most people would've been like RTFM but I couldn't find TFM
13:55.12Twiunnah, I meant Java in general... Java on the Zaurus was just trial and error
13:55.22Twiunthat's why I put up my Java FAQ
13:56.27Twiungranted it doesn't cover the j2me stuff or the compiler (it's assumed you'll be in the java workplace already)
13:57.20razzlewell most stuff we're learning right now I already taught myself but I rarely use Java so I forgot most. But when I look at the code, usually it comes back
13:57.32MG_Takrazzle: FTFM
13:57.35MG_Takor GTFTFM
13:57.53razzlego to fuck the fucking manual?
13:58.09Twiuns/fucking/fine/

14:01.20MG_Takrazzle: I can't get zeeswan to work at all.
14:01.25MG_Takso you're one step ahead of me..

14:04.08MG_TakI can get the freeswan 2 module and the 1.99 tools to work, but they can't interact.
14:04.14MG_Takso I feel like a dumb turd.
14:04.38razzleok you said the pp4zaurus ipk has to be installed manually.. how do I do that? I guess it's not done by simply extracting the files to the correct folders
14:04.56MG_Takshould be able to install it from the package manager, no?
14:05.21razzledunno, twiun said something about it being badly packed or something
14:05.43razzlehm by the way, is there a pptp version for the Z?
14:06.32razzle(my university uses some fucked up VPN implementations..)
14:06.46absentia3re
14:07.13TwiunMG_Tak: Sun have bolloxed up their ipk several times, they never package it properly
14:07.21MG_TakTwiun: oooh
14:07.29Twiunrazzle: the ipk format is just a tarbal
14:07.41razzlei know
14:07.41Twiunrazzle: or an ar archive
14:07.50razzlebut there are some other files in it
14:07.54razzlecontrol stuff
14:08.12Twiunyeah, but that's not used in the j2me ipk
14:08.18Twiunjust extract the data.tgz
14:08.29razzleok nice
14:08.53Twiunyou'll also need the libfloat ipk - should be in the http://adorphuye.com/files
14:11.37razzlehm java requires lots of stuff
14:13.13Twiunnah, just _this_ java
14:13.26Twiunand remember, usually all this is packaged up in a nice sdk
14:13.46Twiundeveloping ON a Zaurus is just a gimmick - it wasn't really intended as a fulltime occupation ;)
14:14.18razzlehmm at least perl runs without any hassles
14:14.49razzleif i could just get wlan running i wouldn't need to install java, gcc and all the other tools

17:46.24absentiaI'll ask'm when he comes'round next.
17:46.31W8TVII think I removed an empty one under the c7x0
17:46.52absentiaI added a link to an offsite page.... and it now seems to be missing
17:47.03absentiaalthough it's not a "howto" it is a document on general info and refs for c7x0

18:07.11treke|laptopW8TVI, I'd thought that the second sucked, but was going to give #3 the benefit of the doubt
18:07.21leviBoth Ebert and Roeper apparently gave Matrix Revolutions a thumb's up.

18:08.15W8TVIthe second one didn't suck that much... just the rave in the middle

18:47.08blitzragesuch as theKompany ROM?
18:48.05Twiunthat's sounds quite likely
18:48.08Twiunblame Sharp
18:48.14treke|laptopright
18:48.34treke|laptopyou can only use the qtopia desktop 1.5.4 build that sharp distributes
18:49.15blitzragewhat ROM are you using right now, and what do you use to sync?  I want to start syncing my zaurus with a Linux desktop, which I haven't actually done yet :)
18:50.11Twiunthen again I don't use any Qt on my Z atm
18:50.22Twiunthe ROM is a custom build of OZ
18:50.28treke|laptopTwiun, ha
18:51.01Twiuntreke|laptop: raw java on the fb ;)
18:51.11Twiuntreke|laptop: who needs the overhead of Qt anyway!
18:51.27blitzragehow do you guys transfer files from your desktop to the zaurus in linux?
18:51.44Disconnectblitzrage: there is a guy working on a z-side syncml (IIRC) "client" for syncing to OS-X. the bonus is that multisync and company support it. http://www.hgsc.bcm.tmc.edu/~kdurbin/zsync.html
18:51.48blitzrageI've done this a bunch of times with Windows.. but never with linux :)
18:51.58Disconnectblitzrage: irobex_palm3, scp, ftp, wget...
18:52.09Disconnectfor big stuff I'll just chuck it onto my CF
18:52.13treke|laptopblitzrage,  wget or cf
18:52.18blitzrageDisconnect: ahhh.. makes sense
18:52.26blitzrageyah.. I have a USB CF reader
18:52.35blitzragethats how I usually transfer from windows lately
18:52.44W8TVIthey are nice
18:52.46Disconnectthe basic theory (as I understand their project) is that since you can only use DTM on the z itself, use a Z app to convert between DTM and something open/useful/etc
18:52.49Twiunyou should be able to use winSCP in windows too
18:53.28blitzragenice.  ok, got a good idea now.  I'll go and play and get something working.
18:53.36blitzrageooo.. crazy
18:53.48blitzragewhat ROM you prefer?  OZ ?
18:54.20W8TVIhugs even
18:54.28TwiunOZ's not yet really for the faint hearted though. Still too many rough edges ;)
18:55.01blitzrageDisconnect: what do you use now?
18:55.08TwiunDisconnect: guaranteed there should be a minimum of 5 or 6
18:55.24blitzrageI've been using theKompany rom lately with pretty good success

18:59.15Twiunthere's always got to be a weirdo
18:59.46absentiawhat?!
18:59.54treke|laptopunison does a good job
18:59.57absentiawhat was the question ?
18:59.59treke|laptopbetter than rsync imo
19:01.10Twiunahhh, that explains the quality we've been seeing ;)
19:02.34treke|laptopnice thing about unison is that it handles file deletions
19:03.06absentiaso does rsync
19:03.14absentiarsync does delta copies within files.
19:03.19absentiaI had to do
19:03.26treke|laptoprsync handles file changes on both sides?
19:03.35absentiarsync, sd fs crash, reboot, fsck, reboot, repeat
19:03.41absentiato get zdebian onto my 760
19:04.12absentiaI don't know how you could make two way changes on the same file work... but one can have precedence over the other.
19:05.09treke|laptopNot changes to the same files
19:05.56absentiaschilling [742]> alias rsync
19:05.56absentiarsync -vazSHe ssh
19:06.00absentiathose are the options I use
19:06.06Disconnecttreke|laptop: drsync is the bidirectional sync
19:06.10treke|laptopobviously that needs some human input or a rule to prefer one side, but does rsync handle the case where file A is deleted on the zaurus and file b is deleted on the server, then make sure both files are gone on both sides?
19:06.57absentiarsync can do deletes, but I'm not sure if you're asking for something else.
19:07.25Disconnecthttp://hacks.dlux.hu/drsync/
19:07.48treke|laptopok, we have two computers, does rsync just make one computer look like the other computer, or cant it be set up to merge the two together?
19:08.34Disconnecttreke|laptop: you can tell it to delete 'missing' files or to leave them alone (or to archive them)
19:08.53Disconnectwith rsync. with drsync, well.. I gotta look at it more ;)

19:15.04treke|laptopI hate webmail.
19:15.15Luke-JrWell most IMAP mail clients will try to download headers for the entire mail folder =p
19:15.49treke|laptopwhich is a sizable bit of data :)
19:15.55Luke-Jryes
19:16.00Luke-Jrthat's why it'd be slow
19:16.10Luke-Jrthe only thing that makes IMAP usable is cache, really
19:16.41treke|laptopSupposedly it was being cached.
19:16.44Luke-Jrwhich unfortunately means I have 2 copies of all my email headers =p
19:17.07treke|laptopspace is cheap :)
19:18.05Luke-Jrthey go back to around 1999
19:18.43treke|laptopif it costs me 200mb of storage to save a sizable amount of time, that's fine by me

19:19.04Luke-Jr600?
19:19.15treke|laptopLuke-Jr, 600 would also be acceptable
19:19.40Luke-Jro well
19:19.51Luke-JrI guess the reason it hurts me is because I have so many backups of it
19:19.57Disconnectwasn't someone in here a couple weeks ago looking for tips on a mail reader?

19:20.55Luke-Jrtreke|bed: yea, I guessed that after a while =p

19:22.05absentiaI wrote a perl script to sort mbox files by date...  I thought that was fairly nifty.
19:22.08Luke-JrIIRC, it tried to download every message on the server...
19:23.17DisconnectI ran it this morning, it seemed to just get headers. but it won't let you set an "ignore these subscribed boxes" so it pulled up LOTS of headers. (prolly close to 40k of them) and cratered.

21:09.40rev|libwe did it a handful of times
21:09.40rev|libwell
21:09.50rev|libit started making sense when blockbuster started jacking prices
