Patching Alpine
Being a fervent pine user since the early nineties I was always annoyed that Debian didn't have it because of licensing issues (this time I agreed with the Debian folks though). Pine has different ways of sorting indexes of mailboxes, however, their "treaded sort" is done in a very annoying way as it sorts threads in such a way that they appear in the order of their first message. This means that old threads with a new message do not end up at the end of the index.
In addition to that it tries to be smart and "thread" even mail messages depending on the subject. This is something that does not work very well on CVS commit lists, as there are often commits to the same file while they are totally not related. This in combination with the "sort mailbox by first mail in thread first" problem is quite annoying, and it makes me miss new messages.
Luckily there was a site " Patches for Pine which provided a patch " Fancy Thread Interface " that addresses this issue.
Pine has now been discontinued in favor of alpine - now also available in Debian as it is under the Apache 2 license. Unfortunately the old patch for Pine did not apply anymore because of rigorous refactoring of the code base. As I can not really do without nice threaded sorting I spend the weekend porting the old patch to alpine. So far, it seems to run all stable here and I am providing the patch here .
I will spend some more time on cleaning up the patch (white-space related) and then submit it to the developers and hope they want to include it in upcoming versions of alpine.

The Early Cormorant Catches the Eel
Sorry, not the best photo! But I caught this Cormorant catching this large eel when looking for Bank Swallows, right next to Eel Pie Island in the Thames.

Updated an estate_agent office
I went to my nieces' birthday party yesterday.
The theme was pink, and that included all the food, mostly died with beet root.
Shock and horror this morning when doing number two. Not only was my turd dark red, it was also glittering at me. Apparently the carrot cake had edible glitter...
So now I know what's worse than glitter.

I've been spending some time in random London local nature reserves.
Sitting and listening, and in fifteen minutes you spot countless species.
This one was in Ham Lands Local Nature Reserve near Teddington.
