For quite some time I have been wanting to get my ~ 1GB worth of email archives out of Outlook’s proprietary format, with an eye towards eventually moving off of Outlook completely, but the process hasn’t been easy. I’ve tried several tools for importing Outlook mail into mbox/mbx format but all have barfed on my […]

Linux Lovin’

29Jan03Joel has been battling computer problems, and so have I. The short version is that I now have a new motherboard and video card, and it cost me a week to get all of my peripherals to play nicely with each other once again. There’s still some lingering weirdness, but everything works.
The long version follows:
NewsGator

13Jan03I was as shocked as everyone else over Apple’s decision to base their web browser on the KHTML renderer. Unlike most, I actually knew what KHTML is and spent some time upgrading one of my VMware’d Linux installations from KDE 2 to KDE 3 to see if KHTML has improved.
