GETTING THUNDERBIRD TO AUTO-EXPUNGE EMAILS
Mozilla Thunderbird is a great email client, however there is one issue that it has by default that drives me nuts. I run an IMAP server for my @bryanstamour.com email addresses. The IMAP server has a Roundcube web front-end for when I want to access my email from a machine that isn’t mine. When working in Thunderbird, when I move an email from my INBOX to a folder (or from any folder to any other folder), Thunderbird doesn’t expunge the emails from their source folders on the IMAP server; it’s only when you close down Thunderbird that the folders get “compacted” and the change is seen on the server.
NEW SLACKWARE DISKS
My Slackware 14.1 DVD arrived in the mail today. I know what I’m doing this weekend… I’ve been a subscriber for the past few releases now (I enjoy giving something back to Patrick for all of his hard work, even though I can download the ISO’s for free) and every time there’s a new release I wait patiently by my mailbox. It’s like Christmas for my servers. Why Slackware? I used to bounce around between Linux distros a whole lot.
WHAT THE HECK IS C/C++?
I see this all the time in programming forums, websites, etc. My one question is: What the heck language is C/C++? C and C++ are distinct languages that have a similar looking syntax (the same goes for Java, C#, JavaScript, Perl, etc.) And just like the languages I’ve mentioned in parenthesis, C and C++ also have many syntactic differences. So if they don’t have the same syntax, there must be another reason why people conjoin the two languages…
HELLO WORLD!
I’ve been itching to play around with something new recently, so I decided to move my blog over to one based on Hakyll (think Jekyll, but written in Haskell.) I hope to blog more as this site evolves, and maybe this time I’ll be able to keep my web presence a little more active. I look forward to writing posts about my explorations into various topics in programming, computer science, and other things that I’m passionate about.
