Dear Americans,

If you insist on writing month/day/year, please write Jun/11/2018 rather than 6/11/2018.

Thank you!

You know what drives me mad? When people talk about desktop #linux they usually only discuss… desktop environments! Like, it's some big deal if it's Unity or Gnome or MATE or whatever. Dear people, it's *applications* that matter, not application launchers. And that's what sucks. Shotwell is buggy and… questionable. Rhythmbox never worked well with phones, Thunderbird is ancient… And this is basic stuff that should just work!

Checking errors on close(2) - the yak you cannot shave.

I like the Courier email system for this reason, since its error messages will actually cite RFC's for you telling you what you did wrong.

Wow. I knew I had a lot to learn about possible ways to use #rustlang traits, but the way glib-rs wraps GObjects and the Glib type system in general... it's amazing.
