JS/UIX - Terminal

December 9th, 2005

Now this is cool. An Operating System written totally in JavaScript. And it’s not just an emulator; but it actually fully works in JavaScript. It features a filesystem and various UNIX commands such as cat, vi, which, ls and set. You’ll have to check this out because it rocks!

Maildir, number of unread e-mails

December 7th, 2005

After finding this useful document about the Maildir format I was finally able to complete my ‘How many mails do I have’ oneliner:

expr `find /home/username/Maildir/cur -maxdepth 1 -type f -regex '.*,[^S]*$'|wc
-l` + `find /home/username/Maildir/new -maxdepth 1 -type f|wc -l`

Might be useful for some people who think this kind of functionality belongs in a webmail client ;-)

Blog #459.000.001

December 6th, 2005

Currently, Google returns 459.000.000 results when you search for the word ‘blog’, so I thought now is a good time to start another one. Unfortunatly, the number of hits will probably not increase to 459.000.001 with the start of sjon.blog; but I’ll give it a try anyway. If you are reading this, I was probably able to provide a steady flow of entries which might have been usefull and you are now searching through the archives finding the first post (which is this one, even though I left the Wordpress default message as well, but consider that post #0, and this #1). Congratulations, you found it!

I don’t know where this will end; but at least this is what it started with!
