A short tu­to­ri­al ex­plain­ing how to make Squid val­i­date its users against a POP or IMAP serv­er. It must be use­ful, be­cause I use it ;-)

• Woke up at 7AM.

• Teach­ing un­til noon.

• Bus to a cus­­tomer... 1.5hs

• Work with the cus­­tomer... 10 min­utes (I charge two hours min­i­­mum any­way)

• Bus back 2 hours (more traf­­fic)

Ac­cord­ing to Cy­bor­giz­er, I am a Ro­botic Obe­di­ent Be­ing En­gi­neered for Re­pair and Ter­ran Ob­ser­va­tion.

Af­ter a few ag­i­tat­ed month­s... which I don't in­tend to ex­plain here, I now am in po­si­tion to post some new con­tent in Lat­er­al Opin­ion.

Hope­ful­ly, this time I will be more per­sis­ten­t. But I would­n't hold my breath, if I were you ;-)

On oth­er news, I will be 2**5 years old to­mor­row.
