I am the #1 link on Google for "overdue weblog", which someone searched for earlier today. Surprisingly (or maybe not considering the primarily technical material I discuss here), I haven't had any referers which would qualify for Disturbing Search Requests.

How could a Weblog be overdue, anyway? Library books, projects, payments, sure, but a weblog?

Nat discovered Mutt's incredible threading features. I sure wish I used a graphical mailreader again, but until I find one that lets me read mail as fast and efficiently as Mutt does, it's a no-brainer.

Mutt threading is even better with the “last-mailbox-order” modifier, which sorts active threads to the bottom of the mailbox. In my .muttrc, I have:

folder-hook lists/.*    set sort=threads
folder-hook lists/.*    set sort_aux=last-mailbox-order

Brent Simmons' MacNewsWire uses the very interesting-looking SQLite as a back end.

The folks at Black Hole Media wrote an Objective-C wrapper for SQLite. Also on their Code page is URLTextView, which properly tracks URLs in NSTextViews. Definitely something to look at for the next release of ICeCoffEE… assuming I ever get out from my current pile of work.
