10/10   What's a good iCal supporting contact manager in unix?
        \_ The Sunbird project's working on it, but isn't there yet.  Amusingly,
           there's an old program called ical for unix that... doesn't support
           iCal.
        \_ Google Calendar kicks ass. I love how you can share and overlay
           your schedule with someone else. It's a bit slow now but it's
           still beta-ish and like all Google products it'll just get
           better and better.

        \_ The problem with calendar standards today is there aren't any.
           Or ok, more specifically, they are incomplete and unspecified in
           ways that matter.  The reason for this is all the calendar
           companies have made their own decisions re: how to handle various
           things such as "every other week".  Some take it literally and just
           do $week+2 while others take it to mean "$week2 and $week4 of
           $currentmonth".  That's just 1 small example.  So when you have a
           device or program that supports 1 version of the standard and then
           try to sync with a system that has a different idea your calendar
           will get all messed up, usually in unfixable ways.  --calendar guy
           \_ hey, what do you mean you are a "calendar guy?"  are you working
              on calendar?  any recommendation for PERSONAL calendar server
              I can run on my laptop?
              \_ it's one of the services i currently support at work.  i've
                 attended the ical standards committe talks, on the mailing
                 list, blah, blah, blah.  sorry but i use the same calendar
                 i support for work for 10k+ people.  i don't know much of
                 anything about the smaller programs.
                 \_ I like Meeting Maker. What product do you support?

8/29    There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
        on to soda.  Does that page still exist?  Can someone remind me of the
        URL please?  Thx.
        \_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
           \_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
              that implemented an ssh v1 client.  I think this page went away

3/29    A friend wants a PC (no mac). She doesn't want Dell. Is there a
        good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
        card--no game)?
        \_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when
           having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,
           most machines were custom built.

1/27    Interesting list of useful unix tools. Shout out to
        cowsay even!

10/24  What's an easy way to see if say column 3 of a file matches a list of
       expressions in a file? Basically I want to combine "grep -f <file>"
       to store the patterns and awk's $3 ~ /(AAA|BBB|CCC)/ ... I realize
       I can do this with "egrep -f " and use regexp instead of strings, but
       was wondering if there was some magic way to do this.
       \_ UNIX has no magic. Make a shell script to produce the ask or egrep

3/10    What email program do people in Cal CS use nowadays?  In my school days
        people used /usr/bin/mail, then RMail in emacs, then VMail in emacs.
        After my days people used Elm, Pine, Mutt (I forgot which order).  In
        my first two jobs we could tell the seniority of fellow engineers based
        on which email program they use at work, because everyone used what
        they used to use in their school years.  In my last two jobs though,

11/12   How does one find out if a system has rootkit installed?
        \_ Unix or m$?
           \_ Unix. On M$ I always assume it's compromised.
              \_ Install Tripwire before you plug your server into The Net?
                 The only other answer I can think of is to reinstall the
                 OS from scratch on another server and do an md checksum

9/4     I'm seriously very happy Soda no longer runs FreeBSD.
        FreeBSD is really going down the tubes

        \_ funny, I dont remember it geting pwned anywhere near as many tmies
           as it has since the switch to Linux.  And that blog post is
           only abou the installer, not the running OS

8/20    When I use rsync to backup, it's pretty cool except in cases where
        I rename a directory name from the source. Rsync will just do
        a plain copy. Is there a program that'll detect renaming of
        directories (by checking for children files), or at least
        move them to a dated directory?
        \_ Not related but beware of using rsync as a backup tool.
