    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.

    iPhone success is hard

    iPhone is a very nice project, well designed and manufactered, but the market addressed is
    an hard bet for Apple.
    Big players are already on the ground: Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and Sony for instance.

    SQLite is a small, powerful embedded database. A friend of mine started using it about聽six years ago. Some years ago it comes also聽on top of 聽Python 2.5. It is used inside

    • FileMaker Bento: its ultra customized model is based on a big sqllite db
    • DropBox聽client, to store its internal state
    • iPhone: stores your SMS and also other stuff. It is widely used by apps.
    • Apple Safari uses it for HTML5 storage support
    • Google Gears uses it
    • ...and in a lot of embedded product.

    I was annoyed because until version 3.1.3 SQLite聽did not provide an alter table syntax聽but…聽it is quite easy to emulate it with something like this, even if it required a bit of work:
