fdm is a program to fetch mail and deliver it in various ways depending on a user-supplied ruleset. Mail may be fetched from stdin, IMAP or POP3 servers, or from local maildirs, and filtered based on whether it matches a regexp, its size or age, or the output of a shell command. It can be rewritten by an external process, dropped, left on the server or delivered into maildirs, mboxes, to a file or pipe, or any combination. Seems nice for small setups.

If there’s a poor boy on the street,

How can it possibly be that we can exhaustively search an infinite space in a finite time?, “Unfortunately the explanations seem to be couched in topological language making them a little inaccessible. So I thought it’d be good to attempt a rigorous, but elementary, proof so that is possible to see exactly where the ‘magic’ happens.” Seriously cool.
