My Contribution to the History Meme

From my work machine:

jkendall@ventura:~$ uname -a
Linux ventura 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
jkendall@ventura:~$ history | awk '{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}' | sort -rn | head
83 exit
70 clear
58 cd
47 ls
44 ps
35 svn
32 tail
32 jgrep
23 kill
11 sshdev

jgrep is a bash alias for 'grep --color -r -n --exclude=\*.svn\*', while sshdev is a bash alias that gets me to the dev box at work without having to type too much.

If you want / need to install Internet Explorer in Linux, I highly recommend IEs4Linux by Sérgio Lopes.

IEs4Linux is the simpler way to have Microsoft Internet Explorer running on Linux (or any OS running Wine).

Mail Notification 5.0 with SSL in Ubuntu

The Problem

We recently began using SSL to connect to IMAP at work. Prior to switching to SSL I had been using the excellent Mail Notification to let me know if I had any messages in my inbox. As soon as we switched over to SSL, Mail Notification quit alerting me to the presence of new email.
