I got the kiosk stuff up and running today. The last piece is the idle detection and reset after use. It seems to work much better than the old kiosks, and now is loading stuff like printcap and other commands to execute from the kiosk server. The idle detection will probably involve digging through some X code to figure out how to do that. I also got sick of dealing with MAILER-DAEMON messages today. Basically I get 1500-2000 emails per day just to that folder. It was sorta annoying to have it always show up as new messages in this buried subfolder of postmaster, but I couldn't exactly leave it either - I like to delete everything older than a day or two to keep it under a couple dozen MB. So I installed Net::IMAP and have it searching and deleting everything with an internal date older than the previous calendar day, and having it mark any unread messages read. Now I actually can have that folder unsubscribed and only check it if I'm looking for a specific bounce or we get a complaint. Much better. Now to write perl script to automatically deal with some other emails... Nah, it'd be nice sometimes, but probably not worth it. Tonight I learned a bit about certain industry-specific tools while helping someone with computer stuff - that was sorta interesting. If you know who to talk to you can get lots of stuff. Then chatted a bit, and ran across an interesting legal document. Also ended up looking at tech stuff again - gotta stop doing that. Watched Sniper to top off the day. It's a movie I guess, but it's low budget and it goes from there... I think the story was decent, but wasn't done very well. Oh well.
