[Item Permalink] Grading Jaguar -- Comment()
Another positive Jaguar (Mac OS X 10.2) experience: Grading Jaguar.


[Item Permalink] Perl and screen captures -- Comment()
A Perl script to automate screen captures [Mac OS X Hints]

Seems a straightforward solution to automating screen captures. Have to try at some point.


[Item Permalink] Spam filtering -- Comment()
I started to wonder about the algorithm used in the Mail spam filter on Jaguar (Mac OS X 10.2). There is also a tool called bogofilter (http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/bogofilter/). This software is based on Bayesian statistics. See article "A Plan for Spam" by Paul Graham (http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html).

So far the spam filter of Mail has generated one false positive in 15 mails, and it missed two or three spam messages.
