Easily converting your .flac files to .mp3 format

flac2mp3 is a tool to convert potentially large sets of FLAC audio files into the MP3 audio format. It is implemented as a bash shell script, and should run on any Unix-like operating system.
You can get it at: bytemonkey.org
You'll have to install FLAC and LAME on your linux box, on debian/ubuntu this is easily done with

apt-get install lame flac

After you download flac2mp3 and untar it somewhere, run the script, feeding it with the source and destination directories:

/path/to/flac2mp3 /home/music/JimiHendrix_Experience/ /home/music/mp3/JimiHendrix_Experience/

Stresstesting IMAP clients

Just found an interesting article about IMAP clients comparison:

Personally I'm using claws-mail, with 4 mail accounts, one of which has more than 250000 messages.

Migrating to it from thunderbird was fairly easy, I've converted my thunderbird filters to claws' format, using http://www.claws-mail.org/tools/claws-mail-thunderbird-filters-convertor.tar.gz
