Modem von 1964 in Betrieb
Es ist gerade zu unglaublich: Jemand gräbt ein altes 300-Baud-Modem aus dem Jahr 1964 aus und es funktioniert immer noch.
Dieses Video muss man einfach gesehen haben.
OSGi Logging
At the moment I am working on an OSGi-related project. Therefore I was looking for a logging solution.
If found a blog article which describes a very nice approach for integrating all different kinds of logging (OSGi Logging Service, log4j, jcl, etc.).
Thunderbird with Exchange Server 2007
The university I am studying at recently migrated the mail system from Cyrus IMAP to Exchange Server 2007.
Unfortunately Mozilla Thunderbird does not work well with Exchange's IMAP server, unless you do some manual configuration:
First in order to make Thunderbird delete e-mails on the IMAP server correctly, you have to set the mail.imap.expunge_after_delete option to true (see KB article).
Besides, you want to set the mail.server.server#.trash_folder_name property to the name of the "deleted items" folder on the server (see KB article).
With this options changed, Thunderbird will interact with Exchange's IMAP server quite well.
