  • Favorite Apps of 2006

    I recently installed Mac OS X on my desktop computer and fell in love with a few of the features it has.  What’s funny is one of the big things Mac lovers boast about is how great their macs look.  And you know what, they’re right.  But you can enjoy the same cool features on…

  • Copy IMAP Folders between Servers / Accounts

    Prologue:So I was having a lot of issues getting my e-mail copied from one IMAP e-mail account to another without having issues.  I tried copying the e-mails directly from one IMAP inbox to another without much success.

  • Flavia Coffee Maker

    I think I have found the coolest coffee maker ever. I noticed them the first week I got here for my internship, but I didn't decide to try it out until today. The machine allows you to choose a flavor (from many — see pic) and make a fast, single cup of coffee (or Tea,…

  • Week 2 Done – Begin Week 3

    Another week goes by and I've learned even more about the the company. It's easy to understand why the University of Texas (McCombs School of Business) recommends taking as many internship opportunities as a student can get. Don't get me wrong: school is tough… especially when working 30 hours each week while i'm finishing up…

  • flamingcube – back online

An old home-directory backup was found, allowing us to save most of the files. However, a recent database backup could not be recovered. The site had not seen…
