+ 8 - 5 | § ¶K Addressbook LDAP Bug
For those who are stuck up with using Kontact with an Exchange server should have experiences of how difficult it is to get everything properly working.
For instance, address book is an issue. Assuming that your exchange server holds more that 10,000 user records, it is going to be a challenging task to get your addressbook configurd to fetch those addresses.
A friend of mine figured out that this was rather a bug with either ldap or exchange (in that case a feature) which restricted the query response to 1000 replies. This bug is inherited in the ldap code of K Address Book also because it silently fetches 1000 records only.
Here's a workaround for this issue.

+ 3 - 7 | § ¶FuseCompress
So recently I tried to look at what all projects I monitored using a RCS.
The list I ended up with was:
- Open iSCSI
- Beryl
- Linux
- LVM
- Device Mapper
- KDE
Wow!! That itself is huge. I then looked at the space consumption for these projects and that led to 4.1 GB. That's too much of space taken away.
Now, since most of the contentt is text in these projects, I thought why not find out a way to use them with compression beneath. And that is where FuseCompress came to the rescue. Like many other excellent implementations (ntfs-3g, sshfs), fusecompress does exactly what I was looking for. It keeps the data compressed (gz, bz2, lzo) and provides a transparent interface for the applications (through FUSE). With this in place, I get full comprerssion, with saving disk space, while not breaking any of the applications. Now that is what I call full utilization of your CPU cycles (Most n00bs claim that full CPU cycle utilization is by using Gentoo which keeps compiling on n on n on....You often might have heard someone saying -mcpu=.., -fblah-makes-it-fast)
