I'm not surprised to hear that Costco's CEO isn't the typically greedy type of corporate chieftain. Because he runs a different kind of company.

One Less Reason Not To Switch

One Less Reason Not To Switch 05/11/2004 01:45 PM

Novell has announced in a p ress release that they will release the Exchange Connector for Ximian Evolution, previously a $75/seat plugin, as open source.

Novell today announced its Connector for Microsoft* Exchange Server will be integrated into EvolutionTM 2.0 and made available as open source, beginning today with the current Connector 1.4. Evolution is Novell's award-winning e-mail and workgroup client for Linux* systems and is the most widely used collaboration suite on Linux. Evolution Connector allows Microsoft Exchange Server 2000/2003 users to easily manage their e-mail, calendars, group schedules, address books, public folders and tasks from Linux desktops.

I was thrilled to hear this. Evolution (particularly the current betas) is the equal of MS Outlook in features, but without many of the problems. The only downside was that you had to pony up the cash to natively connect with an Exchange server. My guess is that Novell feels that having this out there will speed the adoption of Linux, and that will provide them more revenue than they had been making by selling the plugin. A positive side effect of Ximian being purchased by Novell.

It appears that Novell has recognized their increasing irrelevance in their old niche, LAN products, and is jumping in to open source with both feet. Could this approach put them back into dominant position?

Why I hate C, reason #4,348 10/28/2003 11:08 PM
Varargs. Or, these days, stdargs. It's how C lets you define functions that take a variable number of arguments. Why do I hate it? Because, even though you're forced to view the argument list opaquely, there's no argument count! That is, the standard says the variable length argument list lives in a magic va_arg thingie, you must use the Magic Functions to get the individual arguments out, and you must have the magic ... signature to note varargs in the function declaration, but... the standard can't be bothered to mandate that an argument count is passed. This seems utterly mad....

I just loaded Blue Phone Menu on my laptop and had a friend call in. Holy cow is this a cool little app. It made my entire desktop blink on each ring, with a centered popup showing who was calling and what number they were using. I keep missing calls when I'm at my desk listening to music on my headphones so this is a killer app for me.

I also like the actual percentage battery life indicator on my desktop, it's something even my phone doesn't really tell me specifically (there's just a battery icon and estimated standby time left).

Earlier today, I happened upon old posts (never published) about Parisian restaurants. I decide to publish them, for no reason. My friend Alaina reads them and thinks, "Meg will like this Parisian food weblog. I will email it to her." She does. I read the email and then load up Chocolate & Zucchini in my browser. I am instantly in love, even before I see the entry for Oeuf Cocotte. I am now anxiously awaiting the time to read all the archives, and even more anxiously awaiting my (currently unscheduled) return to Paris. I've got a serious Paris jones. I've got a serious Chocolate & Zucchini crush.

Update!! Chocolate & Zucchini author Clotilde is a software engineer! But wants to leave it all behind for a cooking a career. She's my French twin!

But I'm afraid the we are far from the bottom of this pit. When will the American people rise up and throw out this government that has taken America so far away from its core values?

Toy Tent is an online store that specializes in antique and collectible toys, including a fantastic collection of "space toys," like toy rocketships and tin UFOs, ray guns, and of course, robots. The prices vary wildly (we are talking about antiques, after all), but just browsing through the product catalog will produce lots of little squeals and giggles and claps. (Be sure to check out the Jupiter Spacecraft. I actually considered dropping $275 for a tin spaceship.)

As we were buying our first diapers ever (will be needing them soon), Kay noticed they had some sort of cross-promotion with disney, putting characters all over the diapers. I knew was she was thinking when she mentioned it; it is a little scary to think infants are being marketed to by the Disney Corp.

But I cast away all fears when I realized something and said "Yeah, but think about it, these are diapers -- our daughter will get to shit right on Mickey!"

Starting Oct. 1, discount retailer Costco will begin selling a US$269.99 iPod mini bundle on its Web site. In addition to a standard 4GB iPod mini in pink, silver or blue, the package includes a gift certificate for 15 songs from the iTunes Music Store and Apple's iPod mini Armband, which appears to be the same one sold on the online Apple Store for $29. Given that the gift certificate and armband are worth $43.85, this bundle enables you to purchase an iPod mini for $226.14. Costco.com is not currently offering the green and gold iPod mini colors, however.
