Perry’s weblog

I’ve recently setup the Horde suite on my computer. I’m using the latest CVS version because of some problems with PEAR modules and kronolith. After figuring out that I should use CVS, I really didn’t have any issues getting it going.

I’m using a MySQL backend so that all my preferences are saved. My IMAP server is courier-imap, and I use fetchmail to pull down mail to be processed by procmail and placed into the proper maildirs that I have setup.

I still have some tweaking to do with procmail, and some mail to move over from Evolution, otherwise, everything is peachy. Now I’ll be able to check all my email accounts from any web browser, have all my addresses and appointments in one place, and it’ll all be secure because of SSL. Pretty nifty package and not too difficult to setup.

This article, from the BBC, reports on a new record set in data transfer. Scientists managed to transfer 6.7GB of data in less than a minute. 923 megabits per second. About 3500 times faster than your cable or DSL modem at home.
