With Red Hat dropping support for Red Hat Linux (duh!), it was only a matter of time before I made a move to a new distro – when it comes to running an internet-exposed server, a little guy like me has no choice – I HAVE to run an up-to-date auto-patched distro. With cyrus playing the role of the proverbial straw, I decided to upgrade (sidegrade?) to Fedora. Read on for all the gory details – just kidding, it’s not that bad. In fact, in retrospect, yum made it downright smooth.
| Core and I have been making slow progress with wxWindows – it’s a GREAT library, I have just been very busy. We’ve made an app that displays your free space remaining on your drives. The linux version only looks at “/” right now. Download the Windoze version by clicking the screenshot. We’ll be continuing to work on it.
A couple notes on setting up wxWidgets under Windoze (Core, let’s have some notes on the linux setup too, if needed): |

Hey all, here’s
Google‘s got a new format! I’ve updated my google results scraper that formats Google results for use in a sidebar frame. Here’s the code if you want to try it at home.
Redhat 9 ships with UW IMAP, with the most compatible mailbox format. This doesn’t scale well, for several users, or for one user with a lot of mail (that’d be me). From what I’ve read, there is no email indexing, and only one process can lock the mail file at a time. In squirrelmail, it’s currently taking minutes to load each page of email, and I’m going nuts (hah).
So I’m going to install Cyrus IMAP, which is supposedly “hard to configure”. Dang it… to be continued…
