Via cedric (on IRC):

If you use Outlook as your email client and make use of plain-text messages, you will have noticed that Outlook doesn’t exactly feature the most intelligent quoting algorithm; in fact, it’s the silliest one imaginable. Outlook-QuoteFix can modify MS Outlook’s message composition windows on-the-fly to allow for correct quoting and to change the appearance of your plain-text replies and forwards in general: move your signature, use compressed indentation, customize your quote header, etc.

If you (have to) use Microsoft Outlook for your e-mail needs, you really do need Outlook-QuoteFix – I didn’t know it existed up till now (I knew there was a patch for Outlook Express only), so that’s quite some good news… Outlook really isn’t that bad, but there’s still a few things I don’t like about it before I could use it on my windows box as my email client…

Fwiw, I use Evolution 2.6.3 via Remote X (Cygwin) on my Windows box 😉 

error: Username is empty!

You need to check "Save username and password", otherwise it’ll simply not work.

info: [openvpn] Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parametr(s) in /home/user/.kde/share/apps/kvpnc/openvpn.thingy.conf:8 cd (2.0.7)

You need to fill out the certificate path in the profile options, if it’s empty it’ll just put "cd <nothing" instead of omitting the command. 

I can’t help but think there is something terribly wrong with Debian’s security process. New securityfix WordPress package came out 4 weeks aftter the actual software release. 🙁

Woop. You can’t own a number, plzkthx.

Na mijn vorige taalles is het weer tijd voor een nieuwe… over het alombekende maar nietbestaande gezegde "gepakt en gezakt". Fout, fout, fout! Het is bepakt en bezakt!

Na het veelvoudig op TV te horen moest ik er toch eens iets van zeggen, dus beste Vlaamse TV-vedetten (niet-Vlaamse en niet-TV en niet-vedetten mag ook), lees deze post even, en we kunnen weer verder. Graag correct zeggen en schrijven 🙂 

Update: okay, met schaamrood op de wangen moet ik bekennen dat het blijkbaar fout is, en dat gepakt en gezakt klopt… nochtans had ik nadat ik het hoorde een hoop google result pagina’s bezocht en die waren het met mij eens… de site van de Nederlandse Taalunie zat er echter niet tussen… Bedankt cedric !

A while ago, one of the 2 disks in a RAID1 in one of my servers started erroring out. I went to the datacenter, took it out, restarted the machine, now the second disk started showing errors. WTF?

I come home, sit at my pc, and hear very loud CLICK CLICK CLICK. One of the 2 disks in my workstation RAID1 gave up.

*is happy to have been redundant on all fronts* (yes, I also have separate backups of both machines)

The brand of all 3 disks is… Maxtor. Maybe I should spend the extra buck and get Seagate instead.

This is hilarious .
