This is the best application software i have ever used, the user interface is really very simple and even a beginner can use it very easily.

I modified this for use in an exam cheat sheet for notes I think of during the exam. Extremely useful.

And we're actually allowed the cheat sheet 0_o.Thank you.

Very interesting! There seems to have been some definite progress in this area. I'll have to try out the details, at some point. Thanks for pointing out the extended API!

I don't think the problems described in the blog entry currently apply to gmail through IMAP, which I've been doing quite a lot of recently. See http://code.google.com/apis.... Using imaplib I have been able to set and retrieve IMAP flags, including custom ones; and set and retrieve Google folders/labels via the X-GM-LABELS extension. Supposedly copying to the virtual folder has the same effect as setting the corresponding X-GM-LABEL. Though I have not used them, X-GM-MSGID is supposed to provide a globally unique identifier that works across folders and X-GM-THRID provides the thread.

Maybe somebody at Google read your post!

I like your git-vimdiff to start a vimdiff from the command line, thanks for it (and git-cat)... but lately been using the vcscommand plugin (http://www.vim.org/scripts/... which allows :VCSVimDiff <revspec> so I can diff deeper than the last revision.

Good call!

Re: Creating Combined tikz/png Plots

Michael — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 08:40:35 -0000

You should be a little careful here:

unset tics

This could change the color box's range if it hasn't been explicitly set. For example, let's say the dataset has values in the range 0.1--0.9. If you plot with ticks on, then the color box will choose a suitable range, perhaps 0--1. If you then unset the tics, the color box changes it's range to match the data namely 0.1--0.9. This means that the png won't quite match what you got from the tikz file.

Most of the time the effect won't be noticeable, but it can make a big difference when plotting with a log scale on the color box.

This is very helpful, thanks. :)

Here are some things I found during the generation of various templates. Think they can be helpful too. :)

No printer has gray ink. Gray lines go dotted on print. So, for having a lines of good contrast they must be black, cyan, magenta, yellow or whatever color your printer actually has. Since every other colors go dotted-dashed, than it is better to use dotted or dashed lines in the printer's ink colors instead. This is due to the dithering method used to represent colors in print.
Most of the laser printers have margins of about 5 mm on every side of the paper. Nothing to do here, but this is just for information. Offset print presses have margins too, but the paper is cut after printing.

This is a very interessting way to cope with it. I tried google wave, but actually I don't get a clue with that tool. Thanx for the idea. I will try it out!

To anyone finding this:
libgmail seems officially defunct.
'Sunday December 13th 2009 ( http://richard.jones.name/g... )
Unfortunately the GmailFS project has come to an end. libgmail has ceased being maintained by its developers, and as a result libgmail no longer works with the latest Gmail interface (and has not done so for many weeks).'

If anyone want's a barebones ( no exception checking ) example of how to write an Google IMAP interface, mine might be useful. Think of it more as a starting point than a user ready script:

i think gmail has changed their login/authorization scheme since 2009-11-30 since libgmail is having issues. there were some reports on the sourceforge pages for libgmail as well. anyway, i guess i'll try hacking away at the source. thanks!

Hey, I recently dealt with accessing gmail from Python (I wrote a script to clean all messages from certain labels that were older than X days [http://github.com/tante/gma... ]) and while IMAP is not exactly a pretty protocol (hideous is more like it) you can use it to properly work with GMail quite effectively.

I had bad experiences with libgmail which really didn't work well for me.

Michael - this is probably the best collection of Gmail IMAP facts I've found out there so far.

I'm curious about two things:

1. How does gmailbkp work? Specifically, how do you provide the incrementalness of the backup given that seq ids change all the time ... do you just rescan the entire folder every time and get the delta set of UIDs?

2. Have you ever done any speed testing of libgmail vs. IMAP access? I feel like IMAP access to inboxed is heavily throttled, and wonder if that applied to the web interface as well.

Thanks for this!

Gabor

Michael,

Thank you very much for the templates. I was looking for template where one could customize the grid dimensions. This is it!
