I am in the 4 courts grabbing a beer and I didn’t see a paper lying around so I grabbed my palm. I switched too reader.google.com for my rss feeds. I love the full web version but I just noticed that the mobile version www.google.com/reader/m/view/ is almost as cool. You are presented with a headline list. Once you click on link it brings back the summary for that story. Then you just press 1 to read and 0 to skip to next sumarry. This is a great tool and beats the pants off livejournals rss reader

Making squirrelmail and cyrus imap run fast
Thursday, November 2nd, 2006I have noticing that one of my webmail servers has been running slower than the other. At first I put it down to being a single disk compared to a raid array, then I thought it might be that the hard disk controller had issues under linux (it took for ever to build a mirror disk). I just swapped the drives to dedicated controller card and it seemeda little faster. Then I came across this today http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/SquirrelMailPerformance
You should be able to check whether your IMAP server supports SORT and Threading by talking to it:
> telnet imapserver.example.com imap
* OK
2 capability
* CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE AUTH=PLAIN STARTTLS
2 OK CAPABILITY completed
Notice the SORT and THREAD capabilities. So this server (courier-imap in this case) supports these.
Now tell SquirrelMail to use them, in the “configure” program:
4. General Options
11. Allow server thread sort: false (default) -> true
12. Allow server-side sorting: false (default) -> true
I enabled the two options and now it is really fast.
