<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mozilla Messaging has released Shredder (Thunderbird 3) Alpha 3. Originally planed as Beta 1, the Thunderbird team reversed its decision as there’s still plenty of work to be done including the most expected integration with the Lightning extension to provide calendaring features.</p>
<h2>What's New in Shredder Alpha 3</h2>
<p>There were over 250 changes in this release, many laying the groundwork       for future changes.  Some notable changes include:</p>
<h3>User Experience Improvements</h3>
<ul class="spaced">
<li>Improved Message Reader View
<ul>
<li>This is the first stage of a series of improvements to refine the message reading           experience; the first stage brings email controls closer to area in which           the user is operating.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Add/Edit Contacts from the Message Header
<ul>
<li>We now provide at-a-glance indication if someone is already in your           address book, if they are not, you add them with one click. You can also           edit contact details inline.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Integrated Vista Search
<ul>
<li>Windows Vista users can now choose to see Thunderbird email and news           messages in Windows search results. On first start Thunderbird will prompt           to install its indexing system into Windows Vista.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Birthday Field in Address Book
<ul>
<li>You can now enter the dates of your contacts birthdays into the           address book.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Performance improvements</h3>
<ul class="spaced">
<li>Automatic Message Download for IMAP
<ul>
<li>Thunderbird will now download IMAP messages in the background to           allow for faster message loading, and better off-line operation.</li>
<li>This feature can be enabled on an individual folder basis (via folder           properties), or for all folders in an account, via Account Settings / Sync           &#38; Disk Space.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>For a more detailed list of bug fixes, see the <a href="http://www.rumblingedge.com/2008/10/07/shredder-alpha-3-released/">Rumbling Edge</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">You can download Shreeder in several localized builds from <a href="http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/early_releases/">Mozilla Messaging</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://jonoscript.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/tbird.png"><img src="http://jonoscript.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/tbird.png" alt="" title="tbird" width="120" height="120" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-171" /></a></p>
<p>Several computer science students at <a href="http://www.utoronto.ca/">the University of Toronto</a> and <a href="http://www.senecac.on.ca/">Seneca</a> have made it their class project for this semester to port <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Ubiquity">Ubiquity</a> to <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/">Thunderbird</a> and make it run there.  Thanks to their efforts so far, we now have the basic functionality operational, as you can see in the screenshot below:</p>
<p><a href="http://jonoscript.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/ubiq-in-tbird-screenshot.png"><img src="http://jonoscript.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/ubiq-in-tbird-screenshot.png" alt="" title="ubiq-in-tbird-screenshot" width="400" height="245" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-170" /></a></p>
<p>Don't get too excited yet.  This is still in the early prototype phase.  Currently the hotkey works, the parser works, the previews mostly work, and a few commands work when executed, but most don't.  The students have to turn in their project at the end of the 2008 fall semester, so if all goes well perhaps we'll have a usable Thunderbird extension sometime in December.</p>
<p>But it's not to early to start thinking about the possibilities, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Using existing ubiquity commands, like map and translate and whatever your favorite third-party commands are, while reading and writing emails in Thunderbird.</li>
<li>Cross-application functionality:  email commands activated from Firefox could execute using Thunderbird, while web-searching and social-networking commands used from Thunderbird could execute using Firefox.</li>
<li>Sharing of data sources for argument suggestions: for example, the "email" command could use your Thunderbird contact list to autocomplete the recipient's address, no matter where the command is used from.</li>
<li>Brand-new Ubiquity commands for searching and sorting through your email, composing, redirecting, creating filters, and so on.</li>
<li>Allowing everybody in the world to create and share email commands, encouraging massive innovation to discover new ways of coping with the Never-Ending Email Flood.</li>
</ul>
<p>I think ultimately we're going to have a single cross-compatible XPI that can be installed both on Firefox and on Thunderbird, but for now we've made a temporary fork and are doing Ubiq-Tbird development in a separate repository at <a href="http://hg.toolness.com/ubiquity-thunderbird">http://hg.toolness.com/ubiquity-thunderbird</a>.  If you want to get the source code and set it up to run in your copy of Thunderbird, a page of very rough documentation is <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Ubiquity/Thunderbird">here on the wiki</a>.</p>
<p>Once Ubiquity is fully operational in Thunderbird, what would you like to be able to do with it?  Do you have any ideas for commands that you'd especially like to have to help keep your inbox under control?  Leave a comment and talk about what you'd like to see!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi World,</p>
<p><em>Yahoo! Mail</em> is one of the most popular web-based email service. It's also a free service. If you want to sign up for a Free Yahoo! India Mail (yourname@yahoo.in) <a href="https://edit.india.yahoo.com/config/eval_register?.intl=in&#38;new=1&#38;.done=http%3A//in.yahoo.com/&#38;.src=&#38;.v=0&#38;.u=bm241014f998u&#38;partner=&#38;.partner=&#38;pkg=&#38;stepid=&#38;.p=&#38;promo=&#38;.last=">Click here!</a>. For those, who are using @yahoo.com email ID's POP access is disabled by default and you have to upgrade to Yahoo Mail Plus to access this service. But, I am using @yahoo.in email ID. Now, they are providing free POP Service for .co.in and .in Yahoo! ID's. In this post I'll tell you how to setup Mozilla Thunderbird Client to send/receive Yahoo! India Mail.</p>
<ul>
<li>First, download Mozilla Thunderbird. To download <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/">Click here!</a>. Mozilla Thunderbird is the best opensource email client. Then start Thunderbird.</li>
<li>Click Tools &#62; Account Settings. Click 'Add Account' Button. A dialogue will appear. Select 'Email' radio button and click Next Button.</li>
<li>Enter your name in the respective box, and type your Yahoo! full email address in the next box. Click 'Next'.</li>
<li>Select POP in the next page. Type incoming server as 'in.pop.mail.yahoo.com'. Click Next.</li>
<li>Then, type your email address in the incoming user name box. Click Next. Type the desired account name. Then finally click 'Finish'.</li>
<li>Now, go to Tools &#62; Account Settings. Select Outgoing Server under Local Folders. Click 'Add'.</li>
<li>Type the server name as 'in.smtp.pop.yahoo.com'. Select SSL in authentication section. Type username as 'yourname/id@yahoo.in in the username box.</li>
<li>Then, Click Ok. Then again single click this, and Click 'Set Default' in the right side. Now click Ok.</li>
<li>Click 'Get Mail' on the left side of the window. Your Yahoo! Mail will be loaded in Thunderbird.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Note: Before doing this sign in to your Yahoo! India Mail Account in your browser and select 'Mail Options'. Click POP and Forwarding Option. Click 'Enable POP Access'. Click on Save button to save this settings.</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First and foremost I think we should do our best not to send misspelled emails so install all the dictionaries you need from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/browse/type:3</p>
<p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2313">Lightning</a> </p>
<p>Must have calendar for Thunderbird. If you're looking to throw away Outlook you have to start here.</p>
<p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4003">AutoZip</a> </p>
<p>Automatically compress attachments before you send your messages. It is easily configured to ZIP all attachments to a single file, or multiple files, ignore certain files or not to zip them if gains are not noticeable. unfortunately AutoZip does not work for Mac users at this point.</p>
<p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4433">LookOut</a> </p>
<p>LookOut allows Thunderbird to work with Microsoft's mail tools by decoding metadata and attachments encapsulated/embedded in a TNEF encoded attachment (aka winmail.dat).</p>
<p>This is an unavoidable add-on since most of your Outlook friends will send RTF formated email with the dreaded winmail.dat attachment. To educate them, and make everybody's life a little easier have them reconfigure their Outlook client to stop sending email in Rich Text Format (RFT). For more information on how to do stop sending Winmail.dat files visit <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290809">Microsoft's Knowledgebase</a> </p>
<p>Simply you need to Turn off Rich Text for messages in Microsoft Outlook</p>
<ol>
<li>Click on Tools</li>
<li>Click Options, and then click the Mail Format tab.</li>
<li>In the Send in this Message Format list, select Plain Text or HTML, and then click OK.</li>
</ol>
<p>Now everyone, no matter what email program they are using, will be able to receive your email with no problems.</p>
<p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4454">Priority Switcher</a> </p>
<p>Change priority of the received messages from the toolbar button and the context menus...</p>
<p>Makes life easier by allowing to quickly change message priority in the compose window.</p>
<p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/640">QuickText</a> </p>
<p>Quicktext is an extension for Thunderbird that lets you create templates that can be easily inserted into your own emails.</p>
<p>This one is a big time-saver, since you can create many text snippets or whole email templates that expand on demand from keywords or key-strokes.</p>
<p><a href="http://simile.mit.edu/seek/">Seek</a> </p>
<p>Seek adds faceted browsing features to Mozilla Thunderbird and lets you search through your email more effectively. Quick and easy search for those hard to find emails.</p>
<p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4970">Tag ToolBar</a> </p>
<p>Simple way to attache a tag to a message with one mouse click</p>
<p>Installing ThunderBird Add-ons</p>
<p>Installing add-ons is simple just </p>
<ol>
<li>click on Tools, followed by Add-ons</li>
<li>click the Extensions button on the Add-ons window Toolbar</li>
<li>click the Install button</li>
<li>Select the *.xpi file you want to install</li>
<li>Wait for the timer to get down to 0 and click the Install Now button</li>
</ol>
<p>repeat the process for all add-ons and then restart Thunderbird.</p>
<p>Configure Thunderbird Add-ons</p>
<ol>
<li>click on Tools, followed by Add-ons</li>
<li>click the Extensions button on the Add-ons window Toolbar</li>
<li>Select the desired add-on and, if any configuration is possible the Preferences button will not be grayed out, so click it.</li>
</ol>

<description><![CDATA[The weather is giving me a migraine.
One day it is really hot&#8230;.and the next day is really cold]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The weather is giving me a migraine.</p>
<p>One day it is really hot....and the next day is really cold....... for me atleast. Well let see....it is like 11 deg c out there.... nad my fingers are all numb.</p>
<p>You see... eventhough this is my third year in the US....but I cant still adjust with the temperature. I am used to 28-30 deg all year round and now..... this is killing me!! I am trying hard but my body wont....... But I am glad I am in southern california..... imagine if I were to live in north america or something... I will die from freezing.</p>
<p>This year I hope and really hope I wont have winter rash........ my first year was THE WORSE.... I got it everywhere!! Except for my face luckily. This year Im planning on stocking body lotions whenever I go.</p>
<p>Anyway....... I havent done any work today. I feel bad.....but I took theraflu last night so I knocked out! Im suppose to finish up something....I probably will...... right now I am working on my company's e-commerce site's powered by magento.... yes you heard me..... magento is the latest e-commerce open source shopping cart but it is a little heavy......or much more heavy than zen cart or osc.</p>
<p>So after trial and error, I decided to go after <a href="http://www.simplehelix.com/hosting/aff.php?aff=092">Simple Helix</a> hosting. They have one click install magento and is customize to handle magento. Anyway I cant wait to see the cart in action. Right now I am customizing the interface to look something similar like our <a href="http://buildersgreensource.com">main website</a> (hahah yes sure we have a very unique color schemes). To tell you the truth.... this is my first time experimenting with earth tone colors. (boss is earth person)</p>
<p>Hope I can get the cart up by end of this month. And I will write a review on the hosting.... other than that I am also going to work on puttin our crm online. So we can access it everywhere.... and I can manage that even from home too..... right now we hosted it on our small server at work...... oh yeah we used <a href="http://sugarcrm.com">SugarCRM</a>. So far, it is a very handy crm and did most of the job out of the box. Of course, it is not the most perfect crm. But it did most of the job for us..... we used to have OASISCRM, and we dont like it.... Sugarcrm is free but we have to manually export the customer to quickbooks (downside). I know the sales people in my company hates that........ but with oasiscrm, you cant even do 80% of the stuff we are doing now with sugarcrm. It is really hard to explain to them that we cant have 100% perfect crm unless we paid a good chunk to get it customizes.....</p>
<p>But I can bet, if we do change our crm now, they will miss those neat functions from sugar. I am not there to pleased them, but I just want them to appreaciate those functions they dont have a year ago!</p>
<p>Ok this is not a bashing session..... but I just want to stress out, how neat sugarcrm is. We got it working with thunderbird import , contact capture, and later on joomla. ..Best yet, there are all open sources.</p>

<description><![CDATA[In my work as pastor of a small church, I have many tools at my disposal. The most important book in]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><big>In my work as pastor of a small church, I have many tools at my disposal. The most important book in my library is the Bible, God's eternal Word. Like most students of the holy writ, my shelf has several copies in various colors, sizes, bindings and translations. The Bible I both read, study and preach from the majority of the time is the King James Version (KJV). It is my preference; the particular Bible I use is found <a href="http://preacherpen.wordpress.com/2008/08/11/cambridge-bible-rcd-287-presentation-reference-edition-update/">here</a>.</p>
<p>If you have read my Linux <a href="http://preacherpen.wordpress.com/category/the-pastors-blog/computing/">posts</a>, you know <a href="http://www.mepis.org/">Simply Mepis</a> happens to be my preference out of the hundreds available. I have been happily using Mepis for many years, and have no plans to go elsewhere. It's easy to install, maintain and customize. That's a great combination.</p>
<p>One of the things I like about Linux so much is the freedom of choice we users have. It's easy to customize the desktop to fit individual personalities and tastes. I know this can be done to a certain extent in Windows, but not as easily as in Linux. In Mepis, customizing can be done in a matter of moments using the <b>Control Center</b>. You can change the appearance to your heart's desire.</p>
<p>You might ask "what does that have to do with your office?" That's a fair question. If any of you work in an office, isn't it nice to change things around to suit you? I realize not everyone has that luxury, but this is my office, and I have the ability to change the looks to make a more pleasing computing experience.</p>
<p>As I mentioned <a href="http://preacherpen.wordpress.com/2008/10/03/simply-mepis-linux-and-my-office/">before</a>, I use several software packages to do some of my work in my home office. <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/">OpenOffice.org</a> (OOo), <a href="http://www.bibletime.info/">BibleTime</a> and some Internet sites are all part of the process of studying and sermon preparation. In another <a href="http://preacherpen.wordpress.com/2008/07/31/bible-software-for-linux/">post</a>, I mentioned a wonderful Windows program called <a href="http://www.e-sword.net/">e-Sword</a>, which works quite well in Linux by using <a href="http://www.winehq.org/">WINE</a>.</p>
<p>One area that Linux excels in is multimedia. Our church records nearly all our services; we also have a CD/DVD duplicator so people can purchase copies. This year's Mother's Day message was well attended, and several people wanted to purchase copies of the service. Ordinarily, that would not have been a problem, but for some unknown reason, it was this time. My sound technician recorded the service just like any other time, then handed the master CD to another technician so she could make the appropriate number of copies. Didn't happen, and several attempts were made; still no copies could be made.</p>
<p>My sound man then tried making a copy using the Windows computer in the sound booth. That didn't work, either. He took the master CD home and tried making copies from his home computer; still nothing doing. It is no secret around our church the pastor is a Linux guy. After trying for several days to make copies, my sound man came to me, wearing a sheepish grin. "Can you do something with this?" he asked.</p>
<p>I took the master CD home, popped it into the optical drive, fired up k3b then proceeded to make a copy. The first attempt failed, so I fired up another Linux package, did some tweaking, then burned the reworked image onto a blank CD. After that little bit of work, we were able to make as many copies on our duplicator as we needed. Even though Linux is not installed on any computer in the church, Mepis was instrumental in taking care of a ministry need. Linux to the rescue again.</p>
<p>Communications have changed dramatically over the years; some say for the better, while others offer a different opinion. I collect and use fountain pens to do 99% of my writing with, if I use paper, that is. There is just something wonderful about putting your thoughts down on paper while using a finely crafted writing instrument. To most people, those days are long gone or have never been.</p>
<p>Sending and receiving e-mails is a part of our lives if we use our computers very often. This form of communication has taken the place of a vast number of letters and notes written on paper. It has become a very important part of my life, too. I communicate with members of my church, state and international headquarters, and a host of other, too. How did we ever get along without e-mail before now?</p>
<p>My favorite e-mail client is <a href="http://mozilla.org/">Thunderbird</a>. It is easy to set up, and updates are just a couple of clicks away. I manage three accounts on my Linux desktop, and have the ability to do the same on my laptop. Just like with any other aspect of personalizing the desktop environment, Thunderbird can be changed, too. There are themes and extensions galore to choose from if you are so inclined.</p>
<p>Finally, printing is essential in my office. I print everything from sermon notes to revival posters. I have two HP printers, and each one works perfectly in the Linux environment. What I really like is the fact I can take the laptop anywhere in the house and print from there. There was no special wireless printer adapter to buy, just install the printers on my desktop computer. When I installed both <i>Mepis 7.0</i> and <i>7.9.7-beta</i> on my laptop, the two printers were automatically picked up. That was nice.</p>
<p>There is more to write about, but I think you get the idea of how valuable Linux is to me. Warren Woodford and Simply Mepis make the computing experience a pleasure and efficient, too. Give Linux a spin and I think you will be tempted to stay.<br /></big></p>

<title><![CDATA[Gmail: tener traccia della posta inviata da ThunderBird]]></title>

<description><![CDATA[Se usate ThunderBird per gestire la vostra casella Gmail, già saprete che una copia delle e-mail in]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Se usate ThunderBird per gestire la vostra casella Gmail, già saprete che una copia delle <strong>e-mail inviate</strong> resta nella cartella <strong>locale </strong>"Posta inviata" di ThunderBird ma <strong>non è visibile</strong> (se usate il server smtp del vostro provider) nella cartella "Posta Inviata" presente <strong>sul sito</strong> web di Gmail.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Per far sì che le email <strong>inviate </strong>appaiano <strong>anche </strong>nel sito di Gmail è possibile procedere in diversi modi:<br />
uno di questi consiste nel configurare ThunderBird in modo da utilizzare il server <strong>smtp di Gmail</strong> (<strong>smtp.gmail.com</strong>) <strong>anzichè </strong>quello del vostro <strong>provider</strong>, ma questa soluzione presenta l'<strong>inconveniente </strong>di una <strong>maggiore lentezza</strong>, anche se c'è l'innegabile <strong>vantaggio </strong>della <strong>cifratura </strong>durante l'<strong>invio </strong>mediante il protocollo TLS e la possibilità di <strong>inviare </strong>le email <strong>ovunque </strong>vi troviate, indipendentemente dal provider utilizzato.<br />
Un <strong>altro inconveniente</strong> derivante dall'uso dell'<strong>smtp di Gmail</strong> è il seguente: se da ThunderBird inviate una e-mail ad un <strong>Gruppo Google</strong> su cui siete iscritti, <strong>non riceverete</strong> il messaggio da voi inviato, quindi resterete col <strong>dubbio </strong>se sia arrivato o meno. Ciò non accade invece usando l'smtp del <strong>proprio provider</strong>. Se pensate che questa sia la soluzione più adatta a voi potete non proseguire nella lettura.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Una soluzione alternativa per <strong>tener traccia</strong> (sul sito) della posta <strong>inviata </strong>potrebbe essere la seguente: utilizzare l'<strong>smtp</strong> del <strong>proprio provider </strong>(quindi <strong>più veloce</strong> di quello di Gmail) e configurare ThunderBird affinchè invii a <strong>noi stessi</strong>, in <strong>copia nascosta</strong>, una copia del messaggio inviato.<br />
In questo modo però <strong>tutte </strong>le email <strong>da noi inviate</strong> ci arriverebbero in copia anche a noi in posta in arrivo, ma <strong>non </strong>se creiamo <strong>un filtro</strong> <strong>ad hoc </strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">sul sito</span> di Gmail, che <strong>a monte</strong> segni questi messaggi come <strong>già letti</strong>, <strong>scavalcando </strong>la cartella posta in arrivo e assegnandogli un' <strong>etichetta </strong>particolare (per esempio "Inviati da ThunderBird").</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Come facciamo a <strong>riconoscere </strong>le email che ci siamo <strong>auto-inviati</strong> da ThunderBird in copia nascosta?<br />
Innanzitutto, se il vostro indirizzo è <em>nomeutente@gmail.com</em> conviene mandarsi il messaggio in copia nascosta <strong>non </strong>all'indirizzo <em>nomeutente@gmail.com</em> bensì a qualcosa del tipo <em>nomeutente+inviatidathunderbird@gmail.com.<br />
</em>Su ThunderBird andiamo su Strumenti - Impostazioni account - Cartelle e copie e impostiamolo come segue:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-484" title="tbccn" src="http://lafabbricadibyte.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/tbccn.png" alt="" width="510" height="186" /></p>
<p>Fatta questa impostazione andiamo sul sito di Gmail a <a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/?hl=it&#38;shva=1#settings/filters" target="_blank"><strong>creare </strong>il nostro <strong>filtro</strong></a>, andando su Impostazioni, Filtri, <strong>Crea nuovo filtro</strong>.</p>
<p>Nella sezione "Scegli criteri di ricerca" individuiamo il campo "<strong>Contiene le parole:</strong>" e scriviamoci:<br />
<strong>DeliveredTo:"nomeutente+inviatidathunderbird@gmail.com"</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-482" title="filtrosftb1" src="http://lafabbricadibyte.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/filtrosftb1.png" alt="" /></p>
<p>Premiamo poi il pulsante "<strong>Passaggio successivo</strong>" e impostiamo il filtro come segue:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-483" title="filtrosftb2" src="http://lafabbricadibyte.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/filtrosftb2.png" alt="" width="356" height="227" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Purtroppo il filtro <strong>non ci consente</strong> di spostare i messaggi che corrispondono al <strong>nostro </strong>criterio di ricerca nella cartella <strong>Posta inviata</strong> di Gmail, quindi dobbiamo accontentarci di <strong>creare una etichetta</strong> che contraddistinguerà tali messaggi.</p>
<p>Premiamo il tasto <strong>Crea filtro</strong> ed abbiamo finito.</p>
<p>D'ora in poi, quando invieremo una nuova email da ThunderBird la schermata apparirà con il campo CCn già precompilato (non sarà visibile da nessuno dei vostri destinatari):</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-485" title="sendccn" src="http://lafabbricadibyte.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/sendccn.png" alt="" width="391" height="251" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A proposito di CCn, <strong>sfruttatelo </strong>quando inviate la <strong>stessa </strong>email a <strong>più </strong>persone che <strong>non si conoscono</strong>.<br />
Non c'è cosa che mi fa più inca..are quando vedo il mio indirizzo mescolato in chiaro a tanti altri che non conosco. :)</p>

<description><![CDATA[BAU,
Aveti detalii mai jos:
&#8220;    Buna ziua,
Suntem Grupul de colectare a datelor si lucram ]]></description>

<p>Apreciem daca ati putea raspunde la acest e-mail in engleza.</p>
<p>Va multumim pentru timpul si contributia dvs. la succesul acestui program.</p>
<p>Cu prietenie,</p>
<p>Lionbridge Data Collection Group"</p>
<p>Si, separat, am primit FAQ:<br />
"Intrebari frecvente:</p>
<p>1)    Cine primeste datele din e-mailurile mele?<br />
Colectam e-mailuri impreuna cu un client care solicita o mare cantitate de cuvinte pentru a contribui la dezvoltarea instrumentelor lingvistice, precum corectorul ortografic. Nicio alta parte nu va avea acces la datele dvs.</p>
<p>2)    Ce se intampla daca includ e-mailuri personale?<br />
Dupa ce ne trimiteti e-mailurile dvs., in primul rand vom inlocui adresele de e-mail si numerele cu !<a href="mailto:BalmbxDataCol@lionbridge.com" target="_blank">BalmbxDataCol@lionbridge.com</a> si 000 pentru a elimina datele de identificare personala. Totusi, numele/semnatura dvs. vor ramane in e-mail, daca au fost incluse.</p>
<p>3)    Pot utiliza orice cont de e-mail?<br />
Da, puteti utiliza majoritatea conturilor de e-mail care pot fi configurate fie pe Internet, fie acasa.</p>
<p>4)    Cat de multe date trebuie sa va trimit?<br />
Dorim sa colectam 600.000 de cuvinte de la fiecare persoana; totusi, ne dam seama ca aceasta inseamna multe date pentru oricine. Prin urmare, pentru a va ajuta, suntem dispusi sa primim minimum 200.000 de cuvinte, care reprezinta o medie de 2.000 de e-mailuri.</p>
<p>5)    Cat timp trebuie sa colectez date?<br />
Estimam ca acest proiect va necesita o anumita perioada de timp si, pentru a va ajuta, va vom oferi instructiuni pas cu pas. Acest program se desfasoara pana pe data de 31 octombrie 2008.</p>
<p>6)    Voi fi platit pentru datele mele?<br />
Bineinteles! Pentru fiecare 100.000 de cuvinte pe care ni le trimiteti, va vom plati 110 USD.</p>
<p>7)    Cum stiu ca datele mele sunt in siguranta?<br />
La acceptarea datelor dvs., veti semna un formular de predare a datelor, mentionand ca acum clientul nostru poate utiliza datele dvs. Nicio alta parte nu va avea acces la datele dvs."</p>

<description><![CDATA[A chi accede alla propria casella Gmail sia tramite web che tramite client di posta ThunderBird, pot]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">A chi accede alla propria casella Gmail sia tramite <strong>web </strong>che tramite <strong>client </strong>di posta ThunderBird, potrebbe tornare utile questa comoda estensione, che permette di tenere <strong>le rubriche</strong> di ThunderBird e Gmail perfettamente <strong>sincronizzate</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">L'estensione si chiama <a href="http://www.zindus.com/" target="_blank">Zindus</a> ed è abbastanza <strong>semplice </strong>da utilizzare: una volta <a href="http://www.zindus.com/download-extension/" target="_blank">scaricata</a> ed installata come una qualsiasi estensione, essa va configurata per operare con la vostra casella Gmail.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">All'interno del menù <strong>Strumenti </strong>di ThunderBird troverete la nuova voce <strong>Zindus</strong>. Cliccatela ed uscirà una schermata di <strong>configurazione </strong>in cui dovrete immettere le <strong>credenziali </strong>del vostro account Gmail:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-464" title="zindusaddacc" src="http://lafabbricadibyte.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/zindusaddacc.png" alt="" width="366" height="417" /></p>
<p>Il passo successivo consiste nell'impostare la scheda <strong>Preferences</strong>:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-465" title="zinduspref" src="http://lafabbricadibyte.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/zinduspref.png" alt="" width="439" height="518" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nella sezione Settings scegliete <strong>Auto Synch</strong> se desiderate che l'estensione vada a sincronizzare <strong>periodicamente </strong>in modo <strong>automatico </strong>le vostre due rubriche.<br />
La scelta dei <strong>tempi </strong>è effettuata in maniera <strong>casuale </strong>e non è impostabile dall'utente mediante l'interfaccia grafica dell'estensione. In ogni caso avviene una sincronizzazione automatica <strong>ogni volta</strong> che aprite Thunderbird (non subito per non rallentare il controllo e lo scaricamento della posta, ma dopo qualche minuto).<br />
<strong>Verbose logging</strong> è una funzione utile solo a scopi di debugging (crea un file di testo con tutte le operazioni eseguite dal programma, utile se volete segnalare un malfunzionamento all'ideatore).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La sezione più interessante è "<strong>Sync Google contacts with</strong>" in cui scegliamo il <strong>tipo di rubrica</strong> con cui la rubrica di Gmail si deve sincronizzare.<br />
Come forse già saprete all'interno di ThunderBird infatti è possibile avere <strong>più rubriche</strong>: in genere si ha la <strong>Rubrica Personale</strong> (quella principale) e la rubrica degli <strong>Indirizzi Collezionati</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">L'estensione Zindus ci offre <strong>due</strong> possibilità di sincronizzazione: sincronia con la rubrica personale <strong>(Personal Address Book)</strong>, oppure sincronia con <strong>zindus/nomeutente</strong> per far si che venga <strong>creata </strong>una rubrica <strong>a parte</strong> all'interno di Thunderbird.<br />
Se scegliete quest'ultima impostazione la <strong>prima operazione</strong> di sincronizzazione consisterà nel <strong>creare </strong>all'interno di Thunderbird una <strong>nuova </strong>rubrica (quindi <strong>vuota</strong>) e importare <strong>tutti </strong>i contatti dal vostro account Gmail. <strong>Successivamente </strong>gli aggiornamenti proseguiranno in maniera <strong>bidirezionale </strong>(ossia modifiche fatte nella rubrica secondaria di Thunderbird si rifletteranno sulla rubrica di Gmail e viceversa).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Se invece scegliete la sincronia con <strong>Personal Address Book</strong> sarà effettuato da <strong>subito </strong>un aggiornamento di tipo <strong>bidirezionale</strong> ossia i contatti che già avete all'interno di Thunderbird saranno copiati nella rubrica di Gmail e viceversa.<br />
In questo caso però potrebbero verificarsi <strong>alcuni problemi</strong>, in particolare la rubrica di Google <a href="http://www.zindus.com/faq-thunderbird-google/#toc-google-requires-unique-email-addresses" target="_blank"><strong>non consente</strong></a> di attribuire due <strong>nomi differenti </strong>ad uno <strong>stesso </strong>indirizzo email.<br />
Se quindi abbiamo memorizzato l'indirizzo del nostro amico Mario Rossi, sia in ThunderBird che in Gmail dando <strong>nomi differenti</strong> (es "M.Rossi" in Gmail e "Mario R." in ThunderBird) la <strong>sincronizzazione </strong>degli account <strong>fallirà</strong>. Per superare questo ostacolo basterà cancellarne <strong>uno </strong>dei due, mantenendo quello che per voi è più significativo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Un'altra cosa che la rubrica di Gmail <strong>non ammette</strong> (mentre Thunderbird sì) sono gli elementi della rubrica <a href="http://www.zindus.com/faq-thunderbird-google/#toc-no-empty-contacts" target="_blank"><strong>senza indirizzo email</strong></a>. Può capitare infatti che abbiate memorizzato un contatto all'interno della rubrica di ThunderBird, non per ricordarne l'email ma per ricordare altre informazioni (ad es. il telefono o sito web). E' un'ipotesi remota ma se dovesse verificarsi <strong>impedirà </strong>la sincronizzazione delle rubriche. In questo caso la <strong>soluzione </strong>è semplice: basterà specificare l'indirizzo email e in caso in cui <strong>non si disponga</strong> di questa informazione o ne mettete uno di <strong>fantasia </strong>(purchè non già usato) oppure spostate questi <strong>contatti vuoti</strong> in una rubrica <strong>separata </strong>di Thunderbird in modo che non vengano coinvolti nella sincronizzazione dando problemi.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Fatte queste impostazioni premete il tasto <strong>Sync Now</strong> per lanciare la <strong>prima </strong>sincronizzazione, che sarà un po' più lenta rispetto alle altre che avverranno successivamente in modo <strong>periodico </strong>e completamente <strong>automatico</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Probabilmente avrete notato che anche Gmail sembra avere <strong>più rubriche</strong>: <em>My Contacts</em>, <em>Most Contacted</em> e <em>Suggested Contacts</em> (in italiano, rispettivamente, <em>Contatti Personali, Più Contattati, Contatti suggeriti</em>).<br />
<strong>My Contacts</strong> contiene gli indirizzi delle persone che avete <strong>intenzionalmente </strong>aggiunto alla vostra rubrica. <strong>Suggested Contacts</strong> contiene l'elenco delle persone a cui avete scritto in passato e da cui avete ricevuto una risposta, ma che non avete aggiunto alla rubrica. <strong><br />
Most Contacted</strong> vi dice solo quali di questi indirizzi contattate più spesso.<br />
Dalle prove che ho fatto ho notato che Zindus <strong>attinge </strong>gli indirizzi sia da <em>My Contacts</em> che da <em>Suggested Contacts</em>, pertanto <strong>prima di sincronizzare </strong>vi <strong>consiglio </strong>di fare <strong>una pulizia</strong> della rubrica <strong>Suggested Contacts</strong>, <strong>togliendo </strong>tutti gli indirizzi che non vi servono più e <strong>spostando </strong>invece i contatti utili in My Contacts.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Onde evitare qualsiasi inconveniente legato ad una cattiva gestione dell'estensione vi <strong>consiglio </strong>di fare un bel <strong>backup </strong>delle <strong>rubriche </strong>(sia di TB che di Gmail) <strong>prima </strong>di procedere con la sincronizzazione, così come ho fatto io stesso.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Potete <strong>scaricare </strong>Zindus dal suo <a href="http://www.zindus.com/" target="_blank">sito ufficiale</a> o dalla <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/it/thunderbird/addon/6095" target="_blank">pagina</a> ufficiale <strong>Mozilla </strong>componenti aggiuntivi per ThunderBird.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">L'attuale versione 0.7.10 è <strong>compatibile </strong>con ThunderBird 2.0b2 - 3.0a1 per Windows, Mac Os X e Linux.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Se siete <strong>preoccupati </strong>per la vostra <strong>privacy </strong><a href="http://www.zindus.com/faq-thunderbird/#toc-security" target="_blank">leggete qui</a>, inoltre c'è da tener presente che essendo un'estensione <strong>open-source</strong> è disponibile al suo interno il <strong>codice sorgente</strong> per cui, se ci fosse qualcosa di "losco" nel codice, verrebbe individuato subito.  <strong>Tranquilli </strong>dunque per la vostra password Gmail.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I <strong>tempi </strong>dell'<a href="extensions.zindus.system.as_timer_delay_on_repeat" target="_blank">Auto-Sync</a> sono legati a due <strong>parametri</strong>, che si possono modificare solo entrando nell'<strong>editor di configurazione</strong> di ThunderBird (Strumenti - Opzioni - Avanzate - Generali - Editor di configurazione).<br />
Tali parametri sono:<br />
<strong>extensions.zindus.system.as_timer_delay_on_start</strong> - indica dopo quanti <strong>secondi </strong>dall'avvio di ThunderBird deve avvenire la sincronizzazione (di <strong>default </strong>sono 3600 ossia 60 minuti);</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>extensions.zindus.system.as_timer_delay_on_repeat</strong> - indica dopo quanti <strong>secondi </strong>dall'ultima sincronizzazione deve avvenire la successiva (di <strong>default </strong>sono 43200 ossia 12 ore).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Tali valori però rappresentano solo <strong>un valor medio</strong>, in quanto il valore reale sarà scelto <strong>casualmente</strong> durante l'esecuzione, onde evitare la congestione dei server.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Right.  Turns out my online supplier of geeky goods actually sold out of the desired EEE. Just as all the other computer retailers around me in the south east of England. So I ordered an Aspire One. To be exact, the Aspire One A150-AB (Why in the world do makers of laptops come up with these weird and seemingy random model numbers?). This baby sports 1 GB ram, a chunky 120GB HD and Linpus Lite, their netbook Linux flavour, a derivative of Fedora 8. That would be another Linux flavour to get used to. Sigh. So one day the nice man from Amazon knocked on my door and brought a small but eagerly awaited package.</p>
<p>The Aspire is undoubtedly attractive and feels better designed and made than the best girlfriend's first generation EEE. The keyboard and the screen especially are superior to the EEE, and there is a multicard reader that's coming in handy.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-325" title="picture-021" src="http://messagedfromtheouthouse.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/picture-021.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="388" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Still compact, but larger than a Star Trek VI mug.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:left;">Apart from the multicard reader there's 3 USB Slots, an external VGA plug, and an additional slot for more SD cards. It boots up in seconds and apart from a mild whirring noise when the little fan is trying to cool Intel's Atom processor pretty quiet (though not as silent as the girlfriend's eee).<a href="http://messagedfromtheouthouse.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/picture-027.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-327 alignleft" title="picture-027" src="http://messagedfromtheouthouse.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/picture-027.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="172" /></a></p>
<p>It's pleasant on the eye, balances well on my lap and fits perfectly into my work bag. Unfortunately the batttery is completely pish. While watching <a href="http://www.hbo.com/littlebritainusa/" target="_blank">Little Britain USA</a> (which, btw was rubbish) the battery drained almost cmpletely, and I presume that under full load the battery wouldn't last longer than an hour. No comparison to my Macbook that would happily run for 5 hours. So no long train journeys or flights to New Zealand in economy class then.</p>
<p><a href="http://messagedfromtheouthouse.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/picture-025.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-326 alignright" title="picture-025" src="http://messagedfromtheouthouse.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/picture-025.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">As mentioned before, Acer is selling the One with Linpus lite, a Fedora 8 derivative. This is quite similar in apperance to the EEE's Xandros flavour, just with worse applications. I have no idea who had the idea of leaving out Skype (it does have a webcam, you know), VLC and Thunderbird and instead use some other unusuable crap. So my first job was to get used to Fedora's weird package manager, 'yum'. I now have all the necessary apps installed, and available via XFCE's 'advanced menu', but still have to remove the annoying apps and then edit the desktop file to add the right icons. I am quite happy to do that, but I can see the best girlfriend ever struggling with that task.  I have no idea what Acer's software engineers were smoking when putting the One's software package together, but here they certainly messed up.  Another minus was the lack of the GIMP and the fact that so far my trusty TX1-Powershot is not being recognised by the crappy photomanager.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">So, after 3 days with the Aspire, what are the first thoughts?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Well designed hardware that is let down by a crap battery and a software package that is lacking in functionality compared to the EEE's far superior Xandros flavour. I am pretty sure that very soon Ubuntu's Hardy Heron will make a guest appearance, but for now I am just happy that I have replaced the Macbook with a credit-crunch model (the Aspire costs exactly a third) and that I can again watch movies and listen to my music.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Nº23 - Ford Thunderbird - 1956 - (Susan)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Outro carro clássico dos clássicos. O <strong>Ford Thunderbird</strong> foi fabricado desde 1955 até 2005 - através de 13 gerações e vários formatos. Desde sua primeira geração, seu modelo era um carro esportivo de 2 portas, mas diferente do chevrolet corvette, nunca foi vendido realmente como tal. Ford nomeou um novo segmento de mercado chamando o Thunderbird um ‘'carro de luxo''.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">3 pessoas são responsáveis pela criação do Thunderbird: <strong>Lewis D. Crusoe</strong>, um executivo aposentado da <strong>GM</strong>, e chamado por <strong>Henry Ford II</strong> (neto de Henry Ford), <strong>George Walker</strong>, vice- presidente da Ford e<strong> Frank Hershey</strong>,um designer da Ford. O protótipo era para um carro aberto de duas portas, de 1145kg, com um motor V8 e uma velocidade máxime de 160 km/h.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Houveram dificuldades em nomear o carro, com sugestões de nomes exóticos a ridículos( Hep Cat -Gato velho; Beaver- Castor; Runabout - um pequeno automóvel; Arcturus- nome de uma estrela gigante; El Tigre e Coronado- coroado).</p>
<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align:left;">

<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Modelo de lançamento do T-bird</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p style="text-align:left;">Crusuoe ofereceu um terno de 250 dólares para quem pudesse inventar um nome melhor e o estilista Alden Giberson apresentou o nome Thunderbird.<br />
O carro foi mostrado no Salão de Detroit em 20 de Fevereiro de 1954. O primeiro modelo produzido estava pronto em 9 de setembro e sua venda foi no dia 22 de outubro do mesmo ano, já sendo vendido como modelo de 1955. Suas vendas subiram rapidamente e 3.500 modelos já estavam prontos para serem vendidos. A Ford tinha uma projeção de apenas 10.000 carros vendidos, porém as vendas de 1955 foram de 16,155.
</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Criado para concorrer com o <strong>Corvette</strong>, também foi a primeira edição de produção em massa de todos os modelos Thunderbirds. Foram produzidos 53,166 unidades. Para o modelo de 1956, mais espaço no porta-malas foi adicionado, o estepe foi deixado no lado de fora, os escapamentos foram movidos para o fim do pára-choque e entradas de ar foram adicionadas atrás das rodas da frente para aumentar a ventilação da parte frontal. Para aumentar a visibilade dos lados traseiros, janelas foram projetadas e vinham como item de série.<br />
As vendas de 1956 foram de 15,631 unidades, a mais baixa de todos os anos de modelos de 2 assentos do Thunderbird.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anfang September war ich in Darmstadt auf den <a href="http://www.gulli.com/news/darmstadt-ber-300-besucher-2008-09-08/">7. Meta-Rhein-Main Chaos Days</a> (in nerdiger Schreibweise MRMCD 111b), einer der etwas "familiäreren" Veranstaltungen des <a href="http://www.ccc.de/">Chaos Computer Club</a>, hier in Zusammenarbeit mit dem <a href="http://vorratsdatenspeicherung.de">Arbeitskreis Vorratsdatenspeicherung</a> und anderen Partnern. Auf dem Gelände der TU Darmstadt konnte man dort hacken, spielen eine große Anzahl interessanter Vorträge und Workshops besuchen und ausführlich mit Gleichgesinnten quatschen.</p>
<p>Neben diesen Aktivitäten war ich aber auch selbst insofern an der Gestaltung der Veranstaltung beteiligt, als ich einen Workshop gestaltet habe. Dieser stand unter dem Titel "Technischer Datenschutz für Einsteiger" und hatte zum Ziel, technisch beziehungsweise im Bereich IT-Sicherheit eher unerfahrenen Computernutzern zu ermöglichen, ihre privaten Daten besser zu schützen.<!--more--></p>

Beide Programme und Plugins sind sowohl unter Windows (von 2k über XP bis Vista) als auch unter allen gängigen Linux-Distributionen und FreeBSD nutzbar.</p>
<p>Mittlerweile sind auch die Folien von meinem Vortrag (selbstverständlich in einer kommentierten Version) im Internet zu finden und können <a href="https://mrmcd.net/schedule/mrmcd111b/attachments/1122_Annika%20Kremer%20Technischer%20Datenschutz%20fuer%20Einsteiger.pdf">hier</a> als PDF heruntergeladen werden. Hoffentlich helfen sie dem einen oder anderen weiter.</p>
<p>Die entsprechenden Howtos (Pidgin/Thunderbird) sind natürlich auch hier im Blog zu finden; das versprochene TrueCrypt-Howto wird in Kürze folgen (momentan bin ich leider durch einige Klausuren und die anstehende Großdemo in Berlin etwas im Stress).</p>
<p>Insofern: Enjoy! Kritik, Feedback, Anregungen und was euch sonst so einfällt sind natürlich erwünscht, ebenso wie Vorschläge für weitere wichtige Themen in diesem (meines Erachtens zu wenig Beachtung findenden) Bereich.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Varför är den matriella lyckan så överlägsen? Det är ju varken vackert eller sunt? Ivf, jag är nu en stolt ägare av en <a title="mac book pro" href="http://www.apple.com/se/macbookpro/" target="_blank">Macbook pro med 17" skärm</a>. Tillvaron är komplett. I samma väva installerade jag <a title="thunderbird" href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/" target="_blank">Googles mailklient Thunderbird</a> och länkade ihop den med min googlekalender. Som mailklient har Thunderbird en bit kvar till t.ex. macs egna mailprogram "Mail" men det är helt klart nice att äntligen ha sin kalender integrerad.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here's a quick howto on <strong>using your Google Calendar with Lightning</strong> when you're at home, with <strong>all edits being synced</strong>, no matter if done online or with Lightning.</p>
<p>We're using the recent 0.9 Version of the Lightning extension for Thunderbird. You need to download the 64bit extension manually. The direct download on the Mozilla homepage will only give you the 32bit version. You can find it here: <a href="http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/releases/0.9/contrib/linux-x86_64/lightning-0.9-linux-x86_64.xpi" target="_blank">http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/releases/</a> under 0.9/contrib/linux-x86_64/</p>
<p>After that grab the Google Calendar addon: <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/sunbird/addon/4631" target="_blank">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/sunbird/addon/4631</a></p>
<p>After installing both of them, you should be able to set up a: <em>new calender -&#62; on the network -&#62; Google Calendar</em>. Post your XML address in the field, enter your password and you're ready for bidirectional editing.</p>
<p>A pictured howto can be found here: <a href="http://bfish.xaedalus.net/?p=239" target="_blank">http://bfish.xaedalus.net/?p=239</a> the wiki is here: <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:GDATA_Provider#Accessing_your_Calendar" target="_blank">https://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:GDATA_Provider#Accessing_your_Calendar</a></p>
<p>Two things to mention:</p>
<ul>
<li>make sure to use the recent addons, which is a bit of manual work, but otherise the field for the Google Calendar will not show up or may not sync.</li>
<li>make sure to use the remote caledar when adding entries and not the local one which was set up by default (you can delete it if you don't need it to avoid confusion)</li>
</ul>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Haven't blogged for a while. That's partly because the home computer's had a bit of downtime. I reinstalled Windows XP because it was acting strange. Things like burning a CD would fail, then work fine the second time. Jerky performance in games. Slow shutdown time and the occasional random error.<br />
Time for a fresh start!<br />
It was a lot less painful than in the past. I used <a href="http://www.nliteos.com/">nLite</a> to make a custom Windows disc with all the latest service packs and updates, and drivers for all my hardware, so all I had to do was start the install and go read a book. When I came back a half-hour later, there was the desktop, sized to the correct resolution, connected to the Internet, and all ready to go. Awesome.<br />
The hardest part was backing up my data so it was easy to restore. I backed up all my <a href="http://www.mozilla.org">Firefox</a> bookmarks, cookies, preferences and autocomplete stuff (I didn't realize how much we rely on those things) and all my wife's <a href="http://www.mozilla.com">Thunderbird</a> e-mails using a nifty program called MozBackup. But don't use the latest version; use <a href="http://ftp.cesnet.cz/MIRRORS/ftp.czilla.cz/other/mozbackup/1.4.7/MozBackup-1.4.7-ENG.zip"> version 1.4.7</a> because 1.4.8 did not restore any of the e-mails, rendering it a pretty useless program. However, the older version worked flawlessly.<br />
I was pleasantly surprised to find that reinstalling Steam into the same folder as before, where all the old data still resided, preserved all my old save games, data and preferences. Another advantage of dividing your hard drive into partitions – if you ever have to do a reinstall on the system partition, the impact on the other partitions is minimal. All my photos are in the same place, for example.<br />
The only program that really gave me trouble was iTunes. I had to rebuild the entire library using a handy utility I can't remember the name of right now (and I'm not posting from my home machine).<br />
But once that was done, everything works great. It's fast, stable, snappy and running in top shape.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="verdana">As some of you know, Linux is what my computers run on, and Simply Mepis is the particular distribution. I have been using <a href="http://www.mepis.org/">Simply Mepis</a> for a number of years, and would not go backwards into a Windows environment for anything. There is no need to, really, as all my computing needs are met in Linux: safe, secure, virus free, and easy to use. For more on Linux, you can read my post <a href="http://preacherpen.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/linux-is-it-for-you/"><i>Linux - Is It For You?</i></a></p>
<p>I have been using the 32-bit version since December 2007, and have been extremely pleased with it. The base install is great, but limited in a few areas. It comes with enough software to get most people up and running in about 20 minutes or so, unless you have to do some partitioning work. If I ever have to reinstall, the whole process is only about 10 minutes or so.</p>
<p>Warren Woodford, the creator of Mepis, has been working hard on the next version of his incredible distribution. Currently, I have version 7.9.8 beta installed on my laptop, and couldn't be happier with what I see. Everything is working very well, with the exception of the built-in webcam, which I have never used. Sound, wireless, 3-D graphics and more are working just right. Keep in mind, this is still a beta version; when this becomes gold, it will be Mepis 8 and rock solid as usual. Warren knows how to put a Linux distribution together.</p>
<p>Here's a partial list of programs included with Mepis:<br /></font>
<ul>
<li><font face="verdana">Openoffice.org - a MS Office replacement</font></li>
<li><font face="verdana">Firefox - Browser</font></li>
<li><font face="verdana">Thunderbird - e-mail client</font></li>
<li><font face="verdana">GIMP - Image editor</font></li>
<li><font face="verdana">Amarok - Music player</font></li>
<li><font face="verdana">digiKam - Photo management</font></li>
<li><font face="verdana">Kopete - Instant messeger</font></li>
<li><font face="verdana">Akregator - RSS feed reader</font></li>
<li><font face="verdana">Kontact - Personal information manager</font></li>
<li><font face="verdana">Kino - Video editor</font></li>
<li><font face="verdana">KPDF - PDF viewer</font></li>
<li><font face="verdana">More programs than you could possibly use</font></li>
</ul>
<p><font face="verdana">Linux is highly customizable, too. Switching desktop backgrounds couldn't be easier. Changing the look and feel is just a matter of firing up the KDE Control Center and changing settings to your heart's content. I must say, the guys who worked so tirelessly on the new art for the upcoming release of Mepis 8, did an outstanding job. <a href="http://img150.imageshack.us/my.php?image=snapshot3ku6.png">Here's</a> what the desktop looks like. Don't like that look? It's not a problem, as I already mentioned. Change the looks to what you want.</p>
<p>For those of you who have one of the newer iPod Classics, Nanos, iPod Touch or iPhones, you have little recourse for their use in the Linux world. Mepis 8 works well with these devices, though, as I already know first-hand. All I had to do was install a few packages (programs), answer some questions, and now I'm happily using my iPod Classic 80GB Silver, knowing I don't have to use iTunes or fire up Windows to get the job done. BTW, the two packages are <a href="http://www.gtkpod.org/about.html">gtkpod</a> and <a href="http://gpodder.org/">gPodder</a>, which is a media aggregator or podcast receiver/catcher.</p>
<p>I use a package called BibleTime, which is Bible study software. It's extremely easy to use, and installing is a breeze. If you want to read more about it, look at my post entitled <a href="http://preacherpen.wordpress.com/2008/07/31/bible-software-for-linux/"><i>Bible Software for Linux</i></a>. Admittedly, this is not my favorite software, but it works very well for my purposes. I wish Bible software makers would port some of their excellent products to Linux; that would make me a very happy camper.</p>
<p>This is not meant to be a complete review of Simply Mepis Linux, just a quick overview of the upcoming full release. Mepis 8 appears to working on most cylinders, but, according to the <a href="http://mepislovers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=17578">MEPISlovers Forums</a>, there are some bugs. This is completely natural; after all, we are talking about a beta release. On my equipment, this beta is working exceptionally well, and I would not hesitate making it my main system right now. I will wait until Mepis 8 goes gold, which is not that far off anyway.</p>
<p>You should give Linux a try. If you are currently using MS Windows, you should download the .iso image, burn it to a CD, stick it in your optical drive and reboot the computer. You won't have to install right away, unless you want. This way you can look at Linux and see what it's all about. There's more information <a href="http://www.mepis.org/docs/en/MEPIS_Community">here</a>. Give it a shot and you'll probably like what you see.</p>
