Democracy - cool video tool

When I saw this on BoingBoing, I was too busy with WIPO to write about it. Though the news is slightly old already by now, this is still so great that I can't hold my tongue:

There is a new, easy Free Software tool for viewing and publishing Internet video. Democracy aim to be as simple as the Firefox browser. Not only does it make watching internet video easier, it is also supposed to make publishing your own a breeze. It'll even help you distribute them via Bittorrent, the setup of which, I take it, was not for the faint of heart until now.

The Mac and Windows editions are out already, and a GNU/Linux port is coming up. They are still looking for developers. Apparently, there is even some bounty money left to be had.

So get to it, guys and gals. I want this on my machine as quickly as possible.

Better living with mutt

During a chat about the pros and cons of gmail, a colleague told me that he especially likes how gmail inserts your sent messages into the same thread as the one you're replying to.

The idea that a webmailer should be more useable than my beloved mutt simply didn't fit my view of the world. I'm allergic to webmail.

A bit of web search soon brought me this nugget for insertion into my .muttrc:

set record = "^"

Got it from here, and it works like a charm. You'll need mutt version > 1.5.10 or the current_folders patch.

I'm probably the last person on earth to find out about this.

Bye bye, "sent" folder.
