    Celeste

    Celeste

    Celeste is a mail reading and organizing program. The name "Celeste" is a reference to an earlier mail reader named Baba, which was written at Xerox PARC by Steve Putz and John Maloney.

    Nowadays, Celeste is maintained by Giovanni Giorgi (me).

    Latest Feature

    A new revision is planned for the end of September 2006, and code name will be "Sonic". Sonic will include a smart mailing-list filter and a better "leave message on server" option. I implemented years ago an auto-filtering system in AppleScript. The filtering engine used the RFC2369 and some other tricks to detect yahoo mailing list. Sonic will have also an auto-filter for google mailing list too.

    The leave message on server option is quite bad now. It creates a lot of duplicated messages.
    The new implementation will avoid dowloading twice a message, using a mix of messageId and timestamp to detect duplicated messages.

    This is the sad true: parsing is boring. And writing parser is even worst.

    Javascript and Smalltalk

    There is a future for SmallTalk? I was a very strong fan of the SmallTalk language, but in the last five years I have seen more and more contraction of its usage in the IT field.

    iPhone programming

    iPhone is the brand-new Apple product which has changed the way Apple thinks. Because of iPhone, Apple strip the word "Computers" from its brand name. And because of iPods and iPhone products, Lepoard developmenet slip a bit, blurring the focus on pure technology.
    To be true, I do not beat on  the iPhone success, but the product success is at least  bright this year. And the iPod touch has also added value to the iPods product catalog. But I am an IT-man, damn you boy! So I want to buy it to play with it, to program with it!

    Asus EEE-PC better then Mac Air?

    Finally I managed to buy a Asus EEE PC 700  this week. I would thanks a lot Next Store and its kindly clerks, which I will prefer in future to Mediaword :)
    If you are at Milan and you plan to buy it, Next Store is a good choice.
