IMAP Support in GMail now?

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Google has IMAP support in GMail now. Rather interesting find, however, I personally don’t see the point in using IMAP unless you have an ancient harddrive or super large attachments. I mean the only reason I use an external program is so I can have my email to read any time any where(almost). Feedback would be appreciated :D

Happy Halloween Palm Treats

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Happy halloween! :P im going to try my best tonight to fill up my 25-30 gallon seabag full of candy :D. But ive got a treat for some Palm OS lovers who are too poor or stubborn to upgrade to a new one. When I feel like it, im going to sort 7mb (roughly my entire RAM) and upload it here for you guys to prod at. Will post a link and a list of software/installation instructions. Happy tricking :D 

Science can be interesting too!

Well, I found a tube of earplugs in a parking lot of Causeway 3445 and I decided to soak them in a solution of 1 part alchohol and two parts peroxide. After a few hours, I dried them off, put them in my ears for 15 minutes, and changed the solution. I took them out and placed them back in the bowl and it was a cool sight to see earwax dematerialize off a surface it is stuck to. Well, then I got bored because I already knew what peroxide does to certain substances, so I moved to a more interesting compound: Ink. Immediately after dropped into the solution, it suspended/solidified itself and gradually changed three or four shades lighter to where it looked like it’s intended color. After watching that for about twenty minutes, I decided to post it here :D

OiNK Update

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

Update coming “live” from oinkmemorial.blogspot.com & tehpaine.blogspot.com. OiNK released yesterday on bail, Safe and sound at home (Probably bored to death with no computers to play with). The only “official” irc network for OiNK’ers is irc.xevion.net/#oink. Note there IS SSL on port 6670 (Id use it if i were you). No further arrests have been made to donators, top seeders, or administrators/moderators. 

Bow in rememberance to OiNK

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

Today we gather on the internet to mourn the loss of our beloved OiNK.cd, which was raided, battered, and tossed to bits by the “IFPI, BPI, Cleveland Police and the Fiscal Investigation Unit of the Dutch Police (FIOD ECD) into the suspected illegal music distrobution”. Once upon a time, OiNK was refuge to those who loved and adored music. Now its in ruins by the law. OiNK had things even commercial music didnt: people who thought music should be free to share. Who knows, OiNK may return someday, but this loss will tear the hearts and lives of many pirates. May OiNK rest in peace

Yay for poptarts.

Well, Last Thursday (Oct 18th) I attended the NOLUG meeting and learned about basic telephony stuffs. For the most part, I was glad I came. Some of the distros mentioned around there got me on the hunt for livecd’s to try. So far, the winner in the desktop livecd is PCLinuxOS, which, by far, was the best in quality and speed imo. Second was Puppy, because of its portability and non-suckage compared to DSL. (This article is posted on a puppylinux installation on a flashdrive). The third, was the Slax livecd. Although it only really had a good enough interface for recovery, you could also start flux and a few other WM’s. Last comes Ubuntu 7.10. Which, lol, Failed to start at all. Id consider putting PCLinuxOS on one of my flashdrives, however, KDE would rape the chips. Puppy’s lightweight design makes it nicely suited for portable media :p
