BuddyZoo is an interesting concept hampered by too high cost of an effort required to get your buddy list in (speaking from a Trillian/Adium/iChat user perspective) and a lack of being very interesting without a large user base.
Oh, so I’ll be at ETCON next week. Driving down from LA. Anyone have floorspace I can crash at? Please drop me a line.

- Hacking Friendster, Part I – XSS strikes again, lots of other goodness at More Theory
- Lurker – an innovative mailing list archiver/reader; good stuff. Would be even better w/ JSRS
- Dell Linux Blog – whoa cool.

- PEPSI / APPLE SUPERBOWL PARODY 2004 – what’s the new song in the background?

I’ll be teaching a Friday night (wee, fun!) workshop on UNIX, trying to concentrate on essential tools, and ways to make working in the shell much more convenient: Stupid UNIX Tricks. RFC: Anything I’m missing?
I’ve switched pretty much exclusively to using Apple’s Mail.app for day to day mail reading. For the most part, it’s a pretty good experience. It definitely handles both Courier and Sun IMAP better than Mozilla (only Courier gotcha is manually setting the INBOX prefix). There are a couple things that really bug me however:
- Not being able to filter by unread, custom flags; this is incredibly useful in Moz/TBird
- No advanced search; pretty lame
- No keyboard shortcuts for lots of things (err, expand all maybe?)
- Doesn’t remember my preferences, for thread expansion, source viewing, etcc.
- Can disable image loading, but can’t disable HTML rendering completely
Some tools that may help:
- zoe – email search engine
- Haystack – ‘universal information client’
- Mail.app plugs and suggestions
