Eudora is now free, cross platform, and based on the Mozilla & Thunderbird code

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Penelope

Eudora is now free, cross platform, and based on the Mozilla & Thunderbird code:

Penelope is an open source extension to the Mozilla Thunderbird mail application.

Qualcomm's intention with the Penelope project is to join the Eudora® user experience with the Mozilla platform. We intend to produce a version of Eudora that is open source and based on Mozilla and Thunderbird. It's not our intention to compete with Thunderbird; rather, we want to complement it.

Qualcomm is committed to both preserving the Eudora user experience and to maintaining maximum compatibility, for both developers and users, with Thunderbird. It is our goal to build a single development community around Thunderbird and Eudora, so that both mailers advance faster than they previously have.

LOST: The Smoke Monster

http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Smoke_monster

this is a great article about the Smoke Monster on the tv series LOST.

Some one must have a Lot of Free Time.  And I'm glad they do.  I have my own thoughts about the Monster which I may share later.

automate sending links to your Facebook profile (Bookmarklet)

http://www.facebook.com/share_options.php

Just drag it to your bookmark toolbar.   I renamed it afterward so it doesn't take up so much space.

This will do the job,  and you never have to look at facebook either (a clever way to waste your facebook friends' time!)!  For me I have found that I actually use facebook,  but for what is hard to define.

Lostpedia - a wiki devoted to LOST... 5600+ articles so far

http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

Of interest is the page on book references: http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Literary_works

A lot of Stephen King references... one quote:

The Stand

See main article: The Stand
By: Stephen King
Lost References:
  • Producers say this is an influential book in Lost.

And yet S.K. is a small portion of what's there.

"Just out of curiousity, what is the correct pronunciation of Summer's last name?

I've heard a lot of ways to pronounce it, and I just want to make sure im correct. "
It's pronounced "GL-OW" with the "au" sounding the same as the exclamation of pain ("Ow! that hurt!). If I'm not mistaken, it's German. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
