Mozilla Mail 1.3a: Label as Junk Mail I just discovered a 'label as junk mail' feature in MozillaMail 1.3a, but it doesn't really do anything yet except change an icon. I wonder if it will eventually report to Cloudmark's Spamnet? Or use a Bayesian learning algorithm? I'm headed to the Jan 17th Spam conference @ MIT, since it's a pretty short bike ride from my house. I would love to talk to the MozillaMail implementors about their plans. 9:30:05 AM      comment []  trackback []

Net::FTPServer I asked on the Net::FTPServer mailing list if Windows support was forthcoming, because I saw a cpan post that it's newest incarnation was pure perl on 5.7+. I missed a bit of the mailing list traffic, but the upshot is that the maintainers will migrate their unix-specific signal handling to a cross-platform perl module ( Net::Server::SIG ), and their make process to one that's CPAN-shell friendly in their next point release. I guess it was on their todo list, but I think I nudged them a bit. Wow. That's service. 9:30:04 AM      comment []  trackback []

Cameron Laird on RTF generation http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-sc9/?t=gr,lnxw02=RTFots Good intro - Cameron deomonstrates once again that he knows his stuff. FWIW, I noticed that he left out the life-saving HTMLDoc in his PDF article. 9:30:04 AM      comment []  trackback []

Tivo I had started to build my own TIVO, but decided that there would be too much duct-tape involved. I ended up asking for one from Santa instead, and low-and-behold he delivered. I had my Season Passes set up in 10 minutes, and was somewhat disappointed in how easy it was to use. I typed in a keypad hack to set the fast-forward button to 30 second increments (to make commercial-skipping easier), but after that it was ready to go. I'm really looking forward to time-shifting, and always having something on the TV to watch. I won't miss surfing. I'm not looking forward to the huge increase in TV watching that TIVO owners experience, but I have a feeling my current open source projects will keep that in check. 9:30:03 AM      comment []  trackback []
