Software
So,
What major apps do I use daily? Well, this is the list of apps that
I currently use daily:
There are a few more, but I need to find URLs for them.
So, in an effort to get to the office earlier, I decided to try to
figure out how to do disconnected IMAP. Well, the route I took was to
use a tool called
tool to allow you to sync IAMP mailboxes. So, my tack is to sync it
down to my laptop, and read the email on the bus. I sync email down
in the morning, and then in the evening, sync again. So far, so good.
More updates later…
So, a while back I found a screensaver which is meant for the command
line. It is called tss. The
latest version is 0.8.1, and it is looking pretty cool.
Under screen 4.0 or higher, there is a command called idle which is
set in seconds. By default, it uses screen’s built in lockscreen
function, but if you define the environment variable LOCKPGR, then you
can call something else. I have it call a the following script:
#!/bin/bash tss -r exec vlock -a
This will lock my screen after a set time, and give me a nice thing to
look at. 
Well, after getting some time over the US holiday to try to get raggle
built, I gave up. I am guessing that Fedora Core 5/6 are not very
ruby friendly yet, as I could not find everything I needed very
easily. I was able to get it almost all the way there, but I could
not get the ruby-Ncurses rpm to build, and I am very strict about
using the native package management system (ie RPM on a RPM based
system, portage on Gentoo, apt on a Debian deviant), so I will not be
trying this until I can get the RPMS.
In other news, I have found some more PIM type things to play with.
Does anyone know of a good CLI Palm Pilot sync package?
not sure if it will talk to modern Pilots.
Well, it seems that someone is reading this after all.
So, tonight I have been given a pointer to raggle (
to install ruby to try it out…
Thanks to Philip McClure for the pointer.
Updates after I try it out some…
