OK, since Paul Boyum thinks I haven't posted in like 3 days, here's something. Of course when asked about lunch last Friday he said he couldn't go to lunch on Mondays, so why am I surprised? Anyways, comcast made me upset today. Apparently you can't order service when the existing owner has service until it's actually physically disconnected. Makes no sense since they're wasting at least the cost of a truck roll in almost every case, but whatever. At least I'm not rushing to move out of anyplace or something like that. I also decided to move my email off the exchange server and over to the open IMAP system today. The transitioning for new mail wasn't bad. Set up all my existing server-side rules in procmail and let it go. It's the migrating 71,290 messages between the servers that's gonna be a task for the email client to do when I'm away from the desk for the next few days... In the process of this whole thing I improved the routing since I can do server-side filtering at the source for my laptop's copy of my email. I also have all my rules server side, and wrote a little perl script that knows how to talk Maildir and can drop copies of messages that are filtered in my inbox as well, but marked read and deleted. Sounds totally useless, but very handy for mail clients that don't check for new messages in all folders (for quick checks and webmail stuff). Basically if the client runs a rule, it doesn't expunge so the original message is deleted and read in the inbox so you can see it existed and either read it without flagging the other as read or go look at the other copy. This just emulates on the server side, and they all go away even if I don't mess with them when my normal client expunges. Yesterday was Chipotle for lunch, and today was Great China, so this week is off to a pretty decent start there. Other stuff Tuesday was basically more mailman config. I sorta have the script to handle course lists, but need database access to do anything with that one. Played with procmail and how to route stuff and figure out what kind of lookup failures should result in what kind of messages... And chatting with people on IM much more than usual in the evenings/nights. Oh well, tomorrow will probably be a long day...
