Any one know of a good Linux email client that will DELETE not just mark for deletion email when it deletes? the mail client evolution does not do this, so when I check my email on my cell phone I see all the spam I had deleted because evolution FAILS at deleting. So I need a REAL email client that will not just mark for deletion but truly delete the email when I say delete.
I know it “old” but I still think it one of the nicer windows managers out there for X-windows and as of today I am back using it. What is nice about it is that it is light and does not take many system resources. I really do not like where Gnome and KDE are going (I truly hate Gnome 3) All I want/need is something that will allow me to move a window around give it a little bit of decoration, but let me work and live in the Bash shell and FVWM does that for me.
Years ago I got an iPod, and since then I been enslaved by iTunes. Well in the last year Apple has said that they are going to kill the iPod classic, and one of their executives has been quoted saying that the iPod had a good run but now it time to buy an iPhone. That joined with their trying to prevent people from having real choice in cell phones (all their bogus lawsuits, I still can not believe they won on the phone number to link, Skype was doing that back in the late 90’s, that just like MS patenting the mouse back in the early 00’s) I decided to 1) retire the iPod 2) escape the iTunes (apple) eco-system. I retired the iPod during the fall of last year. and I have removed iTunes from my one windows computer on Friday. I am looking at Amarok (debating that one or getting xmms to work) for MP3s on my Linux box and WinAmp (yes WinAmp is still around) on my windows box, and the built in player on my Android devices (along with Google music on the tablet and the Amazon Cloud on the Phone). For Podcasts I am using Google Listen on the Android devices.
Long and short of it I am free of the ternary of Apple.
Also I am looking at stopping all video game playing on my computer, and if that happens I might not have a windows box soon as that the only reason I keep windows around, it would be a nice Linux box (as I kept it nice for gaming it should rock as a pure Linux box)
Well it is day 5 with the Roku device, and I been working with it. In my last post I noted that the 2 shows I wanted that I could not find on Roku are The Simpsons and Regular Show. The second one I have found on Amazon’s Streaming Video service, so now the only show left is The Simpsons, but I can do with out one show, until they start to offer it on some internet streaming system. I am sure I will be canceling the TV subscription.
I can get my shows from Netflix and Amazon, news I already get of the internet, plus I will not get the stupid interruption for the emergency broadcasting test when they do (or when there is sever weather)
I am looking forward to not paying for TV, I am thinking of moving up the cancellation date of my subscription TV to the end of this month (since I already payed for this month it does not matter a hill of beans if I cancel tomorrow or on the 25.) I have already disconnected the Receiver box from my setup. Between my DVD collection, the Roku (Netflix, and Amazon Video) my VHS I don’t see ever needing a TV subscription. and if I ever need local “news” I guess I could buy a digital converter some time in the future.
I don’t like paying so much for a TV subscription. I am thinking of ditching the TV subscription, so today I picked up a Roku 2 XD. I also got a NetFlix account, and added a bunch of TV series. So far there are only 2 shows that are currently on that they don’t have (The Simpsons, and Regular Show) I plan on going 2 months more with the TV subscription to see if I can do with out it, if I can I will save myself some money and then cancel the subscription.
I would love to find 3 other shows (that are not on TV at this time) and they are : The Red Green Show, Red Dwarf, and Look Around You.
If any one wants to suggest a good Roku channel I would love to get a list. But for now the 20 or so TV series I have added to Netflix and the 2 news channels I added to the Roku I have added should keep me in TV for more then I need (as I normally watch maybe 2 to 3 hours a week, another reason to get ride of the TV subscription I pay way to much for the time I watch)
This is going to be a strange request and I doubt I will get any one that can help. But back between 97 and 01 around the University of Pittsburgh’s CAS computer network on the Unix stations there was a FVWM configuration setup that was being shared. And I am trying to find those configuration files again, but I can not find them in my archives, so if anyone on the off chance might see this and might have them could you mail them to me. It will probably be a .fvwmrc file.
Just because this is something that should get out there, a while back some hackers broke into peoples computer and did some DNS look up changes to victoms computers. See http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/november/malware_110911 for info on how to check your computer. If you use IE you really need to check to make sure you are safe (I don’t use IE used Firefox at that time, but use Crome now, but still best to check and I did, I was not affected)
Just re posting this as it is something that does need to get out there.
I have suffered with this issue for 4 days now, where even with a active internet connection the facebook App for Android will report “no internet connection” I finally solved it, first this will require that you have your device rooted, and a copy of Titanium Backup (not sure if you need pro or not, I have pro)
First uninstall Facebook.
Load up “adb shell”
I ran from the /data directory the command rm `find . | grep facebook`
re-install the Facebook App
open up Titanium backup
select Backup/Restore
Find facebook in the list and select it
from the dialog box that comes up select Wipe Data
For me that fixed Facebook for Android. But Facebook needs to fix the root problem what ever it is, as not all users have Root Access (I am lucky I do as I am a geek) A simple uninstall/reinstall should fix it.
I have lived with this for over a year now, I went out to find the solution, and found one that worked for me, and I will post it here so others can find it.
First connect to a WiFi spot, when it is unable to get data, reboot.
Next leave the WiFi area, and when it is unable to get data reboot again.
now when you re-enter the WiFi it should Switch to WiFi with out problem and when you leave it should switch back to 3G with out a problem.
(for those of you that are lazy like me, you can log into your WiFi Router and enable and disable the wireless so you can do this all from your computer with out having to moving around.)
Thanks go to Eagle328 over at the moto forums at https://forums.motorola.com/hives/ec28dd1432/summary for posting the solution originally.
Why do I say this, I updated my system to Flash 11, I have Mozilla 11, and it disabled the “out of date addon” I guess they hard coded some numbers, I am going to try to download older versions of flash to see if I can fix the problem if I can not, it will be off to chrome and uninstalling Mozilla.
Update: well I just installed Chrome, not bad, only 1 problem instead of scrolling the tabs, it shrinks them, but that is livable, every thing else is working; and some websites are working better under chrome then they did on Mozilla, I just might be a convert here.

I want to be that cybore now, “We are android, you will be assimilated, resistance is futile.” Heck I am already always connected to the network, with my new Bluetooth head set, I can be streaming audio data into my right ear. I get instance update. Heck (this is the scary part) the smart phone tells me what to do and I do it (GPS turn by turn directions)
For longer notes, I probably could use my Bluetooth keyboard (that I have for my tablet) to the glasses so just wipe that baby out and take notes there.
SAVE YOURSELF it too late for me the assimilation process has started.

Some day I will have those, maybe I should start putting some money away to save up for it, it probably will not be cheap. I wonder how they will get to the internet, would my mobile WiFi Hotspot do that, then can I control it via Bluetooth from my Moto Cliq? The stuff could be epic.
One thing I will not understand about the so called “pro-choicers” (we should call them baby murders, because that is what they are) is they will say that a woman should have the right to do with their body what they want (conveniently forgetting there is a second person’s body being destroyed) But when it comes to other’s bodies with other choices they will try to regulate the heck out of it. Examples
Smoking, they will go on about how they are protecting people from themselves etc and want to force people to stop smoking “evil” tobacco. but what happened to those people’s right to do with their own body what they want.
Seat Belt laws, unlike the above example they can not claim second hand hurt, so if some one does not want to wear a seat belt why force them what about their right to do with their body what they want. (oh for the record you should wear a seat-belt)
Some states have helmet laws (both motorcycles and bicycles) (oh for the record you should always wear a helmet)
What about suicide, and I am not talking about assisted suicide but any one, why can a 20 some perfectly healthy person not end their life if they want to, it their body. (no I am not promoting suicide, if you ever consider it please please please call 911)
How about banning of transfat, if someone wants to eat transfat why should they not be allowed to it is there body
It seems that the liberals mantra of choice about one’s own body seems to fall flat on its face.
Well now some spammer has decided to use my email address as the return address for their spam. If I ever find out who the SOB is, I file charges against them if possible and see if I can get them prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
I posted over the weekend about the new tablet I got, I am impressed with the battery life. It probably has a longer on since it not connected to the cell system, and that when it “sleeps” it turns of the wifi, so it better with the battery then my cell phone. Today I unplugged it at 7am and here it is 11pm and it still has 46% of the battery left, not bad. Sure I was not using it as much as I would have liked, only maybe 5 minutes every hour during the work day (average, lunch had a lot more, the other 8 hours had less), then then after work at home 30 minutes every how but still, nice battery life on it so far.
I got a new Tablet today, a Toshiba Thrive. It is a nice system it has a 10.1″ screen on it, I also got a bluetooth keyboard to go with it. I have a case that can convert it to a stand up, making typeing stuff on it nice, without having to have a fool laptop for the typing. I am going to give my old tablet to my mother.

I fiannly got the attena tuner today, and have set it up. Now here are some pics of my setup. First here is my setup where I sit to operate the radio. You can see the ham computer I have setup, the ham radio and the tuner, and my late mothers old shortwave radio (a[…]
