I went looking through my list of referers this morning and found several hits from Google. It’s interesting to see that I’m the first link if someone searches for how to convert Netscape Mail folders to Kmail foldersI may as well post the small script I developed to do that:#!/bin/shcopydir(){    old=$1    new=$2    for i in $old/*    do        if [ -f $i ] ; then        cp -va $i $new/    fi    done} for i in `find nsmail -iname “*sbd”`do        DIR=`echo $i | sed s/nsmail/Mail/`         DIR=`echo “$DIR” | sed s/.sbd/.directory/g`        DIR=`echo “$DIR” | sed “s/\//\/\./”g`         mkdir -p $DIR        copydir $i $DIRdoneThis script goes through your nsmail directory and creates the same directory structure in […]

Courtesy of Freshmeat: Multi Gnome Terminal has been updated! Scribus – DTP for Linux. Ariadne – Open Source application server and CMS. Screenshot looks good! Just upgraded to Galeon 1.2.1 and Mozilla 1.0RC1. Bookmarks and cookies were kept but fonts look terrible. Probably because I haven’t enabled TT fonts on this new install of RH7.2 yet. Hmm. Just noticed that the Publish button is gone. Must copy and paste this later. TT Fonts look great!

I haven’t posted for a while. I’ve been very busy! From Dangerousmeta, Five tips for tuning Apache – I only used the first tip and it’s amazing the difference it makes! Instead of using fnctl I set the server to use pthreads, restarted, wow! I found out yesterday that you can’t do the following in PHP 4.1.2 (or above I presume)$array[ $index ] ++;It’s a fatal error, but it worked fine in PHP3!PHP4 sessions are very fast, I’m trying to teach phplib to use ’em but the documentation isn’t great (expect an article from me somewhere, sometime on this) Cringely […]

Meta CVS – records renames and directory changes. Must try next week. New version of Mplayer out!

Busy day, I’m going home. A few links first before I shutdown Galeon. (Stable? Yes, It’s been running for two days, I want to give the CPU cycles over to Setiathome!) PHP Beginner WineX CVS page History of hardrives. Baen Free Library. Al because of a fight.. hehe. The power of outliners. I’ve never used one, I want to read this when I get home. Segway News What’s next for Google Eircom won’t change. They were interviewed on 2FM today and people had high hopes for it, but we got the usual fob-off. How our world could be turned upside […]

235MPG – New VW car does almost 100km/lt! Via Meta Filter

ugh! I woke up this morning with a pain in my back, sore throat and shivering. After breakfast I feel much better! Good news today from two sectors.ODTR and Eircom settle. Eircom will launch DSL immediately. Insurance report focuses on legal sector. Maybe we’ll get slightly cheaper car insurance. Pigs might fly? And bad news too.Esat limit the number of calls on Surf No-Limits. *grrr*

CDWOW – cheap(ish) CDs and DVDs if you live in Ireland. I presume they also have foreign sites too. Journey to the furthest planets in Scientific American. I read an article over the weekend about Scale Free Networks but can’t remember now which magazine it was in. Nature has an article which touches on it though. Google, PHP and SOAP.

A few weeks ago a woman was raped in Sundays Well, Cork. Last weekend another woman was raped in the same area. This is just a few hundred yards from where Martina lives. *shudder* Two Guards were killed on Sunday morning when joy riders drove into their car at about 100mph. The joy riders were 15 and 16. I heard on the radio this evening that one of them had been convicted of 25 offenses 7 weeks ago, ranging from burglury to handling stolen goods. Reaction on talk shows has been venomous.

C64 webserver! and it comes with source code! Nice!Remixed 64 tunes in MP3 format. Wow! Ghost ‘n Goblins never sounded as good! (Link may not work, there’s spaces in the filename! Just wget it!)
