OT about that: Recently I had to switch my “storage backend” of mail sigs. Like |
| 20 |
most others, I used fortune. But it just became impossible to keep track of all |
| 21 |
phrases in one text file. So I recently wrote a python program with which I now |
| 22 |
manage all my sigs in an sqlite database. Now I can filter for language, for |
| 23 |
author (of a quote), for source (website/blog), for tags (films, science etc). |

Being such a highly flexible system, Linux made this very easy. Though I barely |
| 26 |
use custom scripts for daily tasks (yet) like many more advanced Linux users |
| 27 |
do, it was still very easy to set up. |

Imagine you wanted to do that in Windows (and then integrate your new sig in M$ |
| 30 |
Lookout). ^^ |
