IMAP Support in Outlook
One thing that many of you would agree is that IMAP support in most email clients are pretty horrible. I’ve encountered some problems after I switched to my new email account. Those who emailed recently should’ve gotten my updated email address. Anyway, I use webmail (RoundCube) when I’m not at home and I use outlook when I’m at home. That way I can move email around from my Yahoo! to *@krunk4ever.com. Outlook 2003 is my default email client and the delete flow is completely broken.
I understand that that maybe how IMAP system works, but there’s got to be a better way to deal with this. Most email clients when dealing with deleting emails on IMAP only marks the email for deletion and after a point you have to go purge the deleted emails. Same thing occurs in Pine, but when you exit Pine, it prompts a message asking if you would like to purge your deleted emails. In Outlook 2003 and as far back as I can remembered, emails marked for deletion appear with a line striked through it. The only way to purge is to click Edit > Purge Deleted Messages followed by clicking OK to confirm the purging.
If I had to write a email client for IMAP, what I would allow the user to do is set a trash folder. If none is set, then create a trash folder and move any deleted email into that folder (similar to how every other email client works in the world). None of this marking email for deletion and still appearing in the same folder. It’s like if you had to delete a file off your network drive, it won’t really delete it, but instead just have a line that strikes through the filename and won’t be truly deleted until you purge it. And of course, you have to do this by folder, there’s no purging of emails in multiple folders or even subfolders.
Okay, maybe I was dreaming a bit too much. A shortcut key to quickly purge would be nice too. The fastest and only way currently as mentioned above is to click Edit > Purge Deleted Messages and click OK on the confirmation.
I found out that in Outlook Express, they have a function which when enabled allows you to Purge deleted messages when leaving IMAP folders. I mean even that work around would do it for me, but after contacting the Outlook team, there isn’t such a feature on Outlook 2003, not even a shortcut key to purge deleted emails. However, I was told that in Outlook 12 (also known as Outlook 2007), they would have PurgeOnSwitch which basically does the same thing that Outlook Express did for years. For now, in Outlook 2003, we’re stuck with manually purging. The person who responded to me did say that I could filter out deleted emails or sort by deleted status so the deleted emails appear at the bottom.
My dear officemate did tell me a faster way to do this. With a keyboard, this is the combo to purge: ALT+E, S, <SPACE> (basically the keyboard combo of doing what I mentioned above). It’s the only way I can think of so far. If you have any better ideas or ways around this, please let me know. Guess I can only wish for now…
Happy Birthday Liam!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIAM!!!

A rough decade for traditional camera makers mentions this article: Digital trend challenges camera makers: Camera buffs were stunned in January when Konica Minolta Holdings Inc., which traces its roots to 1873, said it was quitting the camera business altogether – digital and film – and selling its digital assets to rival Sony Corp. Nikon Corp. said the same month it would stop making seven of its nine film cameras and concentrate on digital models. Fuji Photo Film Co., which plans to cut 5,000 jobs, changed directions last month announcing it would spend nearly $8.5-million (U.S.) to diversify into pharmaceuticals. Europe’s biggest film maker, Germany’s AgfaPhoto GmbH, couldn’t adapt at all; it’s now bankrupt and liquidated. Meanwhile, Antonio Perez, who is leading Eastman Kodak Co. through a four-year digital remake, has warned that Kodak, the pioneer of point-and-shoot photography, is now “at the worst possible place” after a $1.03-billion third-quarter loss.

Deinsea 8 (from Artemyst) – The first case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard Anas platyrhynchos (Aves: Anatidae) (page 243-247) On 5 June 1995 an adult male mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) collided with the glass façade of the Natuurhistorisch Museum Rotterdam and died. An other drake mallard raped the corpse almost continuously for 75 minutes. Then the author disturbed the scene and secured the dead duck. Dissection showed that the rape-victim indeed was of the male sex. It is concluded that the mallards were engaged in an ‘Attempted Rape Flight’ that resulted in the first described case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard. I’ve read this article somewhere before.

Man Accused of Changing Traffic Lights – – A man who said he bought a device that let him change traffic lights from red to green has received a $50 ticket on suspicion of interfering with a traffic signal.

Future sex: gizmos, robots – When America’s top sex researchers gathered recently to discuss the next decade in their field, some envisioned a future in which artificial sex partners could cater to every fantasy. “What is very likely to be present before 2016 would be a multi-sensual experience of virtual sex,” said Julia Heiman, director of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction at Indiana University, Bloomington.
Mobile phone users love their pornography – Porn has gone mobile. That’s one conclusion of a study done by Maryam Kamvar and Shumeet Baluja, computer science professors who are also affiliated with Google. The pair analyzed a random sampling of one million page view requests from mobile phones and PDAs last year, hoping to better understand the behavior of wireless search users. What they found is that wireless users really, really like porn. Less than 10 percent of all searches done on PCs these days are porn scavenger hunts, a number that is down 50 percent from 1997. As the Web has matured and more consumers have come online, porn’s percentage of searches has consistently dropped. On mobile phones, though, users are still partying like it’s 1997—more than 20 percent of all mobile queries looked at in the study were for “adult” content.

IMEI Blacklist
I got an interesting comment on one of my really old blog entries from Michael: Ink all over my pants. He stated:
You do know that each GSM phone has an
IMIIMEI number? If you report it stolen they can lock this number world wide and the phone becomes useless to the thief. Sure, you won’t catch him, but at least he won’t have a lot of fun with the phone either.
At first, I confused this with just disassociating my account with the SIM card, but it turns out there’s actually a global blacklist based on the phone’s IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity). From Wikipedia: When mobile equipment is stolen or lost, the operator or owner will typically contact the Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) which blacklists the device in all operator switches so that it will in effect become unusable, making theft of mobile equipment a useless business. The IMEI number is not supposed to be easy to change, making the CEIR blacklisting effective. However this is not always the case: IMEI may be easy to change with special tools and operators may even flatly ignore the CEIR blacklist.
If what they say is true, then it appears all or at least most major networks will follow this blacklist in order to try to deter people from reselling stolen cell phones. Now both the phone and the SIM card are rendered useless, which is quite interesting and I wonder if they actually did that for me when I reported my phone was lost last time. The CSR (customer service representative) didn’t even mention about this and only seemed to want me to purchase a new phone.
However, I could totally see why phone companies would look the other way. Every stolen phone actually means more revenue for them. Since most phones are stolen when under a contract, there’s no longer any need to entice the customer. Either they buy a new phone at the full price or pay the heft cancellation fee.
I wonder if there’s a way to get off the blacklist. One day, I should call T-Mobile and report my stolen phone and see how long it takes them to take my phone off the network. Then I call back and tell them it was a mistake and I had found my phone. Maybe I’ll do it when I get a new phone just to test this.
Tax Refund
Just got my tax refund today! w00t! That’s almost $5 grand ($4.8k to be exact). All thanks to my dad. =)

Mario Brothers
So while I was going through my archive of videos and animations and happened to find my Mario Brothers flash series, which prompted me to search to see if the final chapter has been released. I didn’t exactly know where to start looking for it again, since it has been awhile. So the only place to look was in my old blog. After following a series of links, I found the artist’s new homepage: Alexander Leon’s Official Mario Brothers Flash series Webpage. But chapter 5 seems to be still left dangling in the air. Last update on this was on 3/10/05 as seen from his homepage. Newgrounds has an article about part 5 back in October ’04. I wonder if it’ll ever be released…
Flash series started off really fun, especially the soundtracks they decided to use. The major battle music were taken from Requiem for a Dream.
Wonder if Part 5 will ever be completed. Enjoy!
Outsourcing the Presidency
Got this parody article from Mechy:
Congress today announced that the office of President of the United States of America will be outsourced to India as of the end of the fiscal year. The move is being made to save the President’s $400,000 yearly salary, and also a record $521 billion in deficit expenditures and related overhead the office has incurred during the last 5 years.
“We believe this is a wise move financially. The cost savings should be significant,” stated Congressman Thomas Reynolds (R-WA). Reynolds, with the aid of the Government Accounting Office, has studied outsourcing of American jobs extensively. “We cannot expect to remain competitive on the world stage with the current level of cash outlay,” Reynolds noted.
Mr. Bush was informed by email this morning of his termination.
Preparations for the job move have been underway for sometime. Gurvinder Singh of Indus Teleservices, Mumbai, India, will be assuming the office of President as soon as possible. Mr. Singh was born in the United States while his Indian parents were vacationing at Niagara Falls, thus making him eligible for the position. He will receive a salary of $320 (USD) a month but with no health coverage or other benefits.
It is believed that Mr. Singh will be able to handle his job responsibilities without support staff. Due to the time difference between the US and India, he will be working primarily at night, when few offices of the US Government will be open. “Working nights will allow me to keep my day job at the American Express call center,” stated Mr. Singh in an exclusive interview. “I am excited about this position. I always hoped I would be President someday.”
A Congressional spokesperson noted that while Mr. Singh may not be fully aware of all the issues involved in the office of President, this should not be a problem because Bush was not familiar with the issues either. Mr. Singh will rely upon a script tree that will enable him to respond effectively to most topics of concern. Using these canned responses, he can address common concerns without having to understand the underlying issues at all.
“We know these scripting tools work,” stated the spokesperson. “President Bush has used them successfully for years.” Mr. Singh may have problems with the Texas drawl, but lately Bush has abandoned the “down home” persona in his effort to appear intelligent and on top of the Katrina situation.
Bush will receive health coverage, expenses, and salary until his final day of employment. Following a two-week waiting period, he will be eligible for $240 a week unemployment for 13 weeks. Unfortunately he will not be eligible for Medicaid, as his unemployment benefits will exceed the allowed limit.
Mr. Bush has been provided the outplacement services of Manpower, Inc. to help him write a resume and prepare for his upcoming job transition. According to Manpower, Mr. Bush may have difficulties in securing a new position due to limited practical work experience. A Greeter position at Wal-Mart was suggested due to Bush’s extensive experience shaking hands.
Another possibility is Bush’s reenlistment in the Texas Air National Guard. His prior records are conspicuously vague but should he choose this option, he would likely be stationed in Waco, TX for a month, before being sent to Iraq, a country he has visited. “I’ve been there, I know all about Iraq,” stated Mr. Bush, who gained invaluable knowledge of the country in a visit to the Baghdad Airport’s terminal and gift shop.
Sources in Baghdad and Falluja say Mr. Bush would receive a warm reception from local Iraqis. They have asked to be provided with details of his arrival so that they might arrange an appropriate welcome.
2 Light Sabers vs 1
Ryan vs Dorkman (from RayAlome) – a pretty interesting light saber fight and an interesting ending that I didn’t really expect.
Although my next thought had nothing to do with the above video besides the fact it’s about light sabers, it got me thinking on what the reasoning was for not using 2 light sabers, but 1 instead. As demonstrated in Art of the Saber and other Star Wars film, there have been countless battles where 2 light sabers were used against 1.
In real sword fights, 2 swords usually meaning lighter swords and faster movement. 1 sword that requires both hands usually means heavy and strength. However, clearly light sabers are well, light and it doesn’t seem for those who use it with both hands are easily overpowering their opponents. So my question remains, why would you ever want to only use 1 light saber?

“Monster rabbit” targets vegetable patch – It sounds like a job for Wallace and Gromit. A “monster” rabbit has apparently been rampaging through vegetable patches in a small village in northern England, ripping up leeks, munching turnips and infuriating local gardeners. In an uncanny resemblance to the plot of the hit animated film “Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit,” angry horticulturists in Felton, near Newcastle, have now mounted an armed guard to protect their prized cabbages and parsnips. “They call it the monster. It’s very big — it’s nearly the size of a dog,” said Joan Smith, whose son Jeff owns one of the plots under attack. See an actual picture of the giant hare (from Cari).

Boy Sets Self on Fire in Alleged Gas Theft – The boy was taken to the hospital with second- and third-degree burns on his legs. Police were called to the hospital to investigate the incident and later learned that the 17-year-old spilled gas on his pants while siphoning gas. He then used a lighter to try to determine how wet his pants were and set himself of fire, Hague said.

Police return $42,000 thrown out with trash – A Japanese man wept for joy this week when he recovered 5 million yen ($42,210) in cash his wife had mistakenly thrown out with the household rubbish. The 35-year-old man had withdrawn the money from a bank account but, fearing it would be stolen, he hid it inside a refuse bag which he placed in a rubbish bin, Japanese media said. Why do people like hiding valuable things inside the trash can? I remember freshman year in college, someone lost their family ring because their roommate thought he’d be nice help empty his trash.

The fish that hunts on land – Zoologists have found a remarkable fish that can wriggle from Africa’s tropical swamps to snaffle a snack on land. The eel catfish, Channallabes apus, catches unsuspecting victims by arching upwards and descending upon prey, trapping an insect against the ground before sucking it up. It performs this trick thanks to a bendy neck supported by specialized vertebrae, which allows it to hover over prey without needing fins or arms to hold up its head. Do check out the video.

Surprise Visit
I got a surprise visit from Belldandy and spent most of the time chatting about his recent trip to Japan with HKenshin and Kira over sushi/sashimi and green tea. Thank you Xyon for recommending me Fuji Sushi. It was totally out of the blue. At around 6:30pm, I get an IM from Belldandy asking me if I had any plans tonight. Of course everyone could’ve guessed what followed afterwards. Turns out he’s up here in Seattle doing a project with Amazon.com and he’s leaving tomorrow evening.
The stories he had were awesome, but we can wait for those on his blog along with his 8MP pictures taken with his Canon EOS 20D.
Afterwards, we went back to his hotel and continue our chatting since we havent seen each other since graduation. I was trying to think of any coffee or cafe place open after 10pm, basically a cozy place one can sit down and chat, but I couldn’t think of any such place in Seattle.
