In sickness and in health, there's a wealth in staying true.

Thunderbird is a bit fat and slow and 0.2 (and the lead programmer thinks in Win32), but it's getting rather good at the spam-gobbling, dears. There's also a source tarball available, which should mean an official FreeBSD port in the near future.

Tuesday I visited St. Albans without major citywide electrical failure. We drank a *pint* each and feasted upon Red Raw Meat. With mushrooms. May I just say that I love arkady so very much indeed.

Today I accompanied redcountess to her appointment at the Louise Cootes Lupus Clinic at St Thomas Hospital. A world-class lupus clinic, in our city! A good morning out on a lovely sunny day. Even if the walk back to Waterloo did exhaust her. I love redcountess remarkably much as well.

Followed this with an afternoon at work. They managed to pack eight hours' pounding bat sodomy into four. And a half, as I didn't get away until 6:30. Grr. Argh. $3000 Sun video cards are fun, but.

Couples who hooked up at our wedding are not allowed to break up nearly yet. Patch it up.

Yesterday we got our first ever AOL CD in the post. (Not in a tin). Currently doing coaster duty for Liz.

Yesterday we got our first ever AOL CD in the post. (Not in a tin). Currently doing coaster duty for Liz.</i. Oh, I'm so pleased for you both! Before you know it you'll have a houseful of them and you'll wonder what you did without them! Remember though, an AOL CD is a huge responsibility... you need to be very careful not to get them mixed up with other CDs, they're very special and they need an awful lot of atention to make sure they don't get into any trouble ;)

Indeed. I had one at the old house in Hendon, which got much tequila-and-Midori dripped onto it. It's such a pity I haven't gotten into target shooting.

Hehe, they'd be brilliant for that!

I've just noticed that Madam appears to be trying to disrobe you in that icon ...

Pretty much exactly what she was doing *grins*

Which couple? Nothing to do with me guv...

[reddragdiva]

I am remarkably shocked and pleased to know that two were caused by our reception! Any more?

And I love you more than words could possibly express. Seeing you was the one bright spark in a very miserable and lonely week.

Did you know if you d/l that thunderbird source tarball, and do a mere ./configure && gmake it builds the whole of fucking mozilla? Oy.

The idea of Thunderbird is to start with Mozilla and cut it down to just the mail/news. This is the same process by which mozilla/browser Phoenix Firebird was created. But the process is not nearly as far along with Thunderbird, and Thunderbird is being done by one guy.

I was grousing about the absurdity of posting a "thunderbird" source, since it's really mozilla with some special invocation. Same with firebird. I read a how-to on building that, long ago, and can't find it. Be nice if I could find spoilers for thunderbird too.

It's not quite that bad. Thunderbird is actually written to the Firebird XUL toolkit, not the Mozilla 1.x one. And the goal is to have Gecko and so on as a bunch of libraries (the Gecko Runtime Environment), shared between Firebird and Thunderbird and Sunbird and whatever else such as Nautilus or Komodo or OpenOffice or whatever. But as cool as Firebird is, and as beta as Thunderbird is, it's still early days for this effort, which is why the main Mozilla is still the old Seamonkey and the 'birds are marked on the Mozilla site as 'technology previews.'
