I am annoyed, hear me roar!
I've spent a good two hours trying to force UW-IMAP to work properly, thanks to it's goshdarned insistence that it's not going to accept plaintext passwords any more (thank you SuSE...). Never mind that I'm on an internal network here and ain't worried about sending my password whizzing about internally.
Seriously, I think having to create your own certificates and enable imaps is going beyond the user friendly mark and making me realise why Linux is never going to reach the masses in it's current form.
*and relax*
I have had a fairly stressful day at work, not helped by the call that came through with the big red popup box marked "T-Mobile Internal Security Call", argh! What to do? Panic? No, no, follow procedure. Hmm. OK, this woman't query doesn't have a procedure. She's a big up boss and wants something, a t/m says to do it but make her aware it's on her head. Get Nicole to send away an email to SSR just to be sure.
10 minutes later, get an email back from them saying "NO, DON'T DO IT!", after I'd already done it, argle!
*panic*
And relax...
I think I've got my own little internal network all sorted back out again, thanks be. Mail is the big thing, everything else can be sorted in a slower timeframe. NFS is being played with, wish me luck :)

I remember when that picture of you was taken!
Re: I remember when that picture of you was taken!
The rest is remarkably accurate, how come you know so much and remember so much from that picture?
:-)
As for the location, it definitely is within 2 miles of Warrington and probably at either Winwick Junction or Acton Grange Junction, there not being quite enough detail for me to tell them apart ;)

Most Linux enthusiasts bang on about how they're gonna take over the world and become more popular than "those capitalist pigs at MS" (or some other such crap), and bitch about Windows being so crap, when in reality Linux is just as bad, albeit in a different manner.
(i.e. - if I wanted to set up a mail server in Windows XP I could have done it in 10minutes, not 2hrs and many google searches later)

Meh, I agree that Linux is very picky about who its friends are in terms of userfriendliness but at least by learning to use it you learn something about computers. By using Windows you learn to point and click. Thanks but no thanks.
I don't think Linux is going to take over the desktop world. I don't think it should, though I do think MacOS X should as it's actually both a Decent Operating System (tm) and a Usable Operating System (tm). ;-)
The one thing I really hate about Bill Gates / Microsoft / Windows is that they've managed to get people to a point where they expect software to suck and are grateful for it and also don't know or even want to know about any potential alternatives.
Meh. Feel free to ignore this. I felt like ranting. ;-)
