Thunderbird 2.x Movemail Account on Fedora Core 8
Friday, February 1st, 2008

Sadly, Fedora Core 8 doesn’t ship a packaged version of Thunderbird (2.0.0.9 as of this writing) that includes movemail capabilities. Movemail is the account type (in Thunderbird) that allows you to read mail from your local system (in /var/spool/mail/[username]). If you run cron jobs, you should be getting emails about the status of [...]

Amazing cover of Outkast's Hey Ya
Saturday, August 19th, 2006

What do you get when you mix a hippie with Andre 3000 in the desert? A great cover of Outkast’s Hey Ya. We’ve been checking out the best of the best for our new Southern Arizona guide that should be out later this week and came across this amazing video of Mat Weddle from the [...]

Save the Bell Labs Holmdel Facility!
Monday, July 10th, 2006

While browsing one of my favorite tech-news sites, Digg.com, I found out that PREI has plans to demolish the old Bell Labs Holmdel Research Facility. While I am not old enough to have been a direct part of the historic research which was conducted at the facility, I am directly indebted to the men [...]

The above video is very informative. Everyone should help to fight companies from taking over the internet.

And so the eon8 ruse ends…
Saturday, July 1st, 2006

Well, over 24 hours and almost 1000 unique hits (that’s a lot for my site) later, the truth is revealed. Turns out, it was just some 23 year old guy from Florida, named Mike, playing a trick on the masses of the internet.
Eon8.com was a work of pure genius. It accomplished exactly [...]

eon8.com — WTF!?!
Friday, June 30th, 2006

UPDATE!!! Eon8 has been deployed!! Read about it here!!
So, browsing online tonight, I ran across eon8.com. If you ask me, the whole thing kinda creeps me out. But then again, I’m somewhat of a conspiracy theorist.
Ok, so here’s what I’ve gathered from different sources on the internet:

The site includes a countdown [...]

AIM Client using AJAX?
Thursday, June 22nd, 2006

Do you think it is possible to create an AIM client using Perl and AJAX? On the x10hosting forums someone started a thread about creating an online AOL Instant Messenger client. He cited WebAIM.net and AIMonPSP.com.
I then realized that Perl has functionality for connecting to AOL’s servers. I once made an AIM [...]

Ever try to cancel your AOL account?
Tuesday, June 13th, 2006

Ok, so I came across this on Digg. Originally, it was an mp3 of a guy trying to cancel his AOL account. It started out simple enough… he called up John at AOL Customer Service and asked to cancel the account. Somewhere along the line, John thought it would be a good [...]

Wordplay
Friday, May 26th, 2006

Being home from school and not having started my job yet, I find myself with a lot of time on my hands. Obviously this is something that I definitely didn’t have while at school; projects, homework, female-obligations (Hey, I’m not complaining!). You get the idea. But since I’ve been home I’ve started [...]
