12/1    Just curious -- what do you guys generally use soda for? Why do you
        log on? Personally, I use it to keep a presence on IRC and AIM/gTalk
        at all times, and mess around with some Python programming (been
        setting up Twisted and such so I can play with making an irc bot).

8/30    Do you guys have good ideas on increasing the readership and
        the participation on motd? With fierce competition from newsgroups,
        Yahoo groups, friendster & orkut network, and many other facilities,
        how can we keep our unique 70's style of newsgroup going for

7/26    What's a graphical mail reader for unix that lets
        me specify multiple SMTP servers for sending email?
        For instance for GMAIL i want to use <DEAD>smtp.gmail.com<DEAD> .
        for work I want to use <DEAD>smtp.work.com<DEAD> . I can sort of do
        it in Thunderbird if I manually change the SMTP server
        every time I send mail from certain locations. - danh

3/11    Why does trn keep crashing?  It seems if I leave trn idle for about
        5 minutes when I try to use it again I get an "unexpected socket
        close" error.  This started maybe 2 months ago.  What's up?
        It's making it difficult to multitask newsgroup reading. -jrleek
        \_ The message means that trn's network connection died.  You could
           try mailing news@agate asking them not to use such an aggressive

2/13    Buying 1GB PC3200 DDR memory for my G5-- any suggestions? I'm leary
        of the top 5 returns from pricewatch....
        \_ on a G5 make sure you get good memory and not some generic
           PW crap. I'd check Kingston to find out what sort of timing
           and stuff they'd put on their branded Mac compatible RAM and
           then go w/ a generic maker that matches those specs (or

1/9     I've noticed that quite a few people will have an email address on
        their resume that says something like
        "firstname<dot>lastname<at>hostname<dot>com".  Is there really any
        point to this?  Are there actually spam programs downloading people's
        resumes in .pdf and .doc format, extracting the email address and
        adding it to spam lists?  Does anyone have any actual evidence that

6/1     Argh!  I accidently hit double-bucky-kill-XEmacs.  Is there some
        magical incantation to make it open up the 20-some-odd files I was
        editing?  (I don't need to recover lost data).
        \_ How about this? Find the last .saves-xxxxx file in your home dir,
           run "grep -v # ~/.saves-xxxxx", then somehow pass the resulting
           lines as arguments to the elisp function (find-file ......).
