Ed has moved

October 23, 2005 by Michael Boyle

Ed has moved

his weblog again and this time he clearly has a very good reason for the move. Scary stuff from Blogger. Very little development at Blogger, and what has changed seems to be nothing but negative.

One of the best sites

One of the best sites

I’ve found for information about Apple Mail is Tim Gaden’s Hawk Wings weblog. Check out the great list of resources and such as well.

Little help!

October 21, 2005 by Michael Boyle

Little help!

I have an email problem that I can’t seem to solve. I use a couple of different email clients on a couple of different machines to check my POP email. I also get a lot of spam. My main machine, at home, runs Apple’s Mail.app and does a pretty good job at filtering it out. The problem is that when Mail identifies and removes a spam email from my Inbox, I would like it to delete the email from the server immediately, or at least on the following connection to the server. If it did so, then when I checked email remotely using my phone, only good emails would be left, saving hassle and bandwidth (my Treo bandwidth usage is metered).

I have asked about this in Apple’s Discussion Forums and at Ask MetaFilter, but no joy yet. Is there anyone who reads here who might be able to help?

Kottke has posted

a piece about an author who wishes that her publisher would allow Google to index her work and wishes that the publisher wasn’t party to the suit that has been launched against the technology company: Book author to her publishing company – your lawsuit is not helping me or my book. Be sure to check out the comments – they’re very good (if I do say so myself, as one of the commenters).

Several links pointed me

Several links pointed me

to Rough Type, a blog by Nicholas Carr in which you’ll find a good article about the new Web (aka Web 2.0), and in particular about Wikipedia: The amorality of Web 2.0. It’s mostly a good, if muddled, piece, and in the comments you can see the (many) extremes of reaction there are to any criticism of Wikipedia.

I like Wikipedia a lot and think that in general it’s pretty good – but that the standard must be higher than that. As such, then it should neither be considered a wholesale success or failure.
