I have uploaded some images of the new UI so you can see what it looks like without installing it.

Please let me know what you think.

Building the new Bongo Admin UI

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 14:10:09 +0000

A while ago Alex (so_solid_moo to the IRC channel) created a php binding for the Bongo API. He also created the start of the new UI that we are working towards.

We started with the admin ui for now as we have created a user interface with the roundcube project that Alex also integrated with.

I stared porting the current Dragonfly assets into the project and I tried to stick to the old design style as much as possible as I really loved it’s look and feel.

Bongo Mono API

Bongo Mono API

For quite some time now I have been trying to learn a programming language to try to get my ideas for applications built.

As part of the learning curve I have started trying to use MonoDevelop and mono to create an app that will allow you to browse the Bongo store.

One of the developers on the Bongo Project (so_solid_moo) was kind enough to start me off with a basic small app he quickly created to test his dev stuff.

Vmware Server 2

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 12:01:38 +0000

I have been running the release version of VMware Server 2 and I must say I am impressed. the only problems I had were with existing VM's and upgrading the tools on them. And also VM's that have open-vm-tools installed.

After updating the tools the systems all have been functioning just fine over the last few weeks and the host system has been under less load with more vm's installed.

Busy Bees

Well it has been a while since the Bongo team has released a version and there is good reason for this.

Over the last few months since the release of 0.3.0 the developers have been rewriting a large proportion of the store code. Alex realised that the old one was not as efficient as it could be when there were large volumes of mail stored in the system. This actually started when it was discovered that when using IMAP and connecting to your mail account if you tried to move large volumes of mail around it would error out or worse. The store is now almost done and the branch and trunk should be merged soon.

So I migrated my Desktop

So I migrated my desktop to Foresight Linux v 2

It has been a bit of a bumpy ride mainly due to me being a newbie and the fact that FL:2 is still very new to market.

I will see how things go and keep you updated.

Migrating Accounts to Bongo

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 19:39:44 +0000

I have recently been preparing to migrate my accounts running on other mail systems to Bongo as soon as we have Bongo 1.

The movement of mail from any system to Bongo was my biggest worry as my account alone had 3700+ emails in 350+ folders.

I decided after a lengthy web search to use IMAP to migrate the mail.

I will detail the steps I used here so others can expand and use them.
