Pine

solidsnot | Apr 2 2006

I don't think this has really anything to do with GTD but Emory's white paper brought it up.

I've tried using Pine and have it set up and everything cooks with gas until I try to send something and it always times out over port 25.

I'm not a command line/UNIX guru so I'm a little at a loss at what to do. Anybody use Pine that knows what I'm doing wrong?

Glad you found the timeout var. I couldn't for the life of me remember what that was in pine.

To be honest, Pine can do a lot of neat things.

In fact, you should see some of the GTD kung-fu that is being done with pine!

If you start here:

You'll find all sorts of neat keyword stuff that can be done.

Pine is a very, very capable email client.

It is perfect for micro-mail-management or full-blown email assault. When I'm working a lot with document review and such, it is just easier to use Mail.app or Outlook, but it is certainly doable with Pine.

I'm really liking Pine. It takes me back to the days of sneaking on my older brothers computer and hooking into BBSs. I even have it colored black and green for that real nostalgic feeling.

I think it will become my new email client. I love its simplicity.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
