tfheen Fri, 23 Apr 2004 - Mail day

Today has been spent respooling mail from nnml (a MH-like Gnus-specific mail backend) to nnmbox (which is mostly mbox, but with some Gnus extensions). From that, I'll back it up and then respool it to Maildir, so I have something to waste all my inodes on.

The reason for this huge task is that I want to have all my mail accessible via IMAP, which means getting it all to Maildir, then using offlineimap to synchronize my mail server's mail and my laptop's mail. As a nice bonus, it will also make my mail accessible using whatever IMAP client I happen to be using. Nice.

The lecture in Systems administration was cancelled, so I spent the day at home with said project. Karianne came over and we made some dinner: Rice, vegetables and grilled chicken filets. They were nice and juicy, so it was quite good. She had a meeting to attend, but returned afterwards. We began planning the summer vacation, and it's a jigsaw we'll have to solve, but it still has a bunch of free variables. I guess it will work itself out.

Nice, slow day, but I'm hoping to be able to finish said mail project soon, it's taking annoyingly much time.

tfheen Fri, 23 Apr 2004 - Perl poems

Inspired by joeyh's apocalypse link I decided to read the 12th Perl apocalypse. Interesting read, and it seems like Perl is turning into an even better and cooler language.

While reading through it, it occured to me how perl6 will make it easier and more fun to write poems in it. Even cooler and more fun than perl5 poems. I am looking forward to actually having the language working and play with it.
