Source Trust Prediction

Paul Westbrook | 27 January, 2007 12:06

Source Trust Prediction looks like an interesting way to fight spam.  Instead of looking at the contents of the messages, it looks at the ip address of the server sending the mail, and predicts the likelihood that the message is spam.

This should be a faster way to determine that a message is spam, especially since now content filtering really requires OCR to handle the messages where the text is rendered as a graphic.

Transfer Google calendar ownership

Paul Westbrook | 27 January, 2007 11:46

I just enabled Calendar for our Google Apps account.  I have been using a Google Calendar account, tied to my gmail address.  Since I only check mail though the Google Apps interface, I wanted to move all of my calendars to the Google Apps domain.

I found a pretty easy way to do this:

  1. In the gmail account, share each calendar with the email address that you want to use, with "Make changes AND manage sharing" permission.
  2. Now in the account in Google Apps, delete the share with the gmail account.  (This is not strictly necessary, but I didn't want to leave these calendars in the gmail account.)

Unfortunately, you have to manually subscribe to all of the "Other Calendars" that are in the gmail account.

SpotlightFS

Paul Westbrook | 27 January, 2007 00:06

Now this is another cool use of MacFUSE.  SpotlightFS is a filesystem that creates smart folders.  You can create a folder with the name of a Spotlight query, and all of the matching files will appear in the folder.  Also, you can use the SmarterFolder to create arbitrary results.

The main difference about SpotlightFS and the Finder's Smart folders, is that the Finder's Smart Folders aren't directories. With SpotlightFS, you can look in these directories through the command line.
