<0> whee
<1> hehe
<0> got a usb server
<0> shares USB devices over ethernet. very nifty
<0> to bad it uses proprietary protocol =(
<1> windows only ?
<0> yeah
<0> and mac
<0> saves me having to move my usb devices around which is nice
<1> yea neat
<0> plus it can be a print server/hd server which is nifty
<0> cheap too
<0> 4 devices for 100$
<1> good for usb drives too
<0> can even p***word protect specific devices
<0> so you could make the printer public but not your usb token
<0> nice touch
<1> oh yea
<0> also got a netgear storage 101 thing, like a toaster for 2 hd's
<0> no fan, nice
<0> trying to replace as much as I can with things that talk IP and have no moving parts =)
<0> course they have no security either
<1> cut down on noise pollution eh
<0> and power
<0> and problems
<1> yea
<0> these consumer devices seem ready for actual use
<0> i.e. they work
<0> like wireless now
<0> it actually works
<0> as opposed to maybe half the time =)
<0> I really wish I had the money for coraid stuff
<0> makes your HD speak IP
<0> open drivers and all
<1> never heard of them
<1> ah ok i see
<0> http://www.coraid.com/
<1> ..thanks google
<0> it's nice
<1> yea
<0> scales to 40,000 devices or something silly
<0> talks ethernet, not ip my bad
<0> but everything is ethernet now
<0> heh I remmeber some guy arguing the future of desktops was fiber atm
<1> yer
<0> "why"
<0> because it's like token ring, very fast and reliable
<0> but people like cheap and nasty.. =)
<1> hehe
<0> anyways I went to an openbsd nfs server for now
<0> working well
<0> I just wish someone made consumer devices as secure/reliable as openbsd
<2> what email client you guys are using?
<0> outlook express/outlook
<0> squirrelmail/mutt on unix
<2> cool
<0> if I were using a gui on unix it's probably be thunderbird
<2> you think thunderbird is better then outlook express?
<0> nope
<0> but for me it's more of a habit
<0> been using outlook/express for so long a switch is a chore
<2> yea me too
<0> plus thunderbird has some wonkiness I don't like with configurtion/etc
<1> i use evolution at work.. thats not bad
<0> overall, I hate to say this
<0> outlook is the ****.
<2> seifried you use outlook express or Office outlook?
<0> scheduling/sharing. sigh
<0> both
<2> why both?
<0> my corp laptop has outlook
<0> my personal machines have express
<0> I onyl need the one copy of outlook
<2> outlook express has calender built in?
<0> polus the whole being used to outlook express' interface
<0> no
<0> outlook does
<0> talks to exchange
<0> verisign, like most companies runs on exchange
<0> hell I alsmot broke down and bought 2003 small biz so I could have a local 5 user exchange for me and family
<2> hah really?
<0> yeah. it rocks
<0> but maintenance is a **** show
<1> how much is it?
<0> like 1 or 2k
<0> depends how you buy it
<1> hehe
<0> i.e. as a stand alone
<2> why the hell you would run exchange on your home pc?
<0> dell with it
<0> etc
<2> its pc killer
<1> ouch
<0> inspace: I'd run it on a server
<2> hm
<0> but you can buy hosted exchange plces for a few bucks a month/account
<0> which is saner if you have <10 users
<2> yea I saw it once
<0> lots of hosting places now
<0> but I'm determined to not do it
<0> I already got openbsd/redhat
<0> I do not want to maintain a third server OS
<2> hmm I think i'll download calendar addon for outlook
<0> it kilsl me there is no good open source stack
<0> that works with existing clients
<2> :(
<0> there is a few actually but not sure if they're 100% compat
<0> same problem as office
<2> so seifried are you sysadmin?
<0> MS built a fort
<0> for myself
<1> yea i think egroupware has an outlook plugin to sync with the online server
<1> thats free
<2> really?
<2> i will check it out
<1> not sure how good it is. was in beta when i tried it
<0> there's a bunch
<0> but I want something like postfix
<1> yea
<0> better then sendmail
<0> easier to configure
<0> faster
<0> and 100% compatible
<0> poh and free =)
<2> huh
<0> if I'm going to create a new headache for myself, I'm not paying for it =)
<0> and if I pay for it, it better not cause me a headache
<2> lol
<2> sendmail is ****
<2> I hate it
<0> so ditch it
<1> heh
<0> use postfi
<0> x
<2> sty|work: egroupware calendar looks lame
<2> http://www.egroupware.org/uploads/screenshots/calendar1.jpg
<0> what I would love
<0> is a plugin for outlook/etc that talks to google calendar
<0> now that would rock
<2> google calendar is nice
<0> yeah but doesn't integrate to anything
<0> I stopped using it
<2> what are you using now?
<0> nmy paper daytimer still
<0> so far nothing has beat it
<0> for speed/prtability/boot time/etc =)
<0> nothing electronic will share with everyone I know (all different)
<0> so that's a huge ****y point
<2> never heard about nmy :)
<0> so if I can't share it. and I can't access it remotely. may as well use paper
<2> I installed office 2007 beta, thats lame
