Mail for ipod touch...

I downloaded the software upgrade for my ipod touch so that I could get the Mail application. Unfortunately, our mail servers use a self-signed certificate so whenever the Mail tried to verify the IMAP connection it would pop up a box asking to continue. I hit ‘continue’ and it’d sit there until several minutes later when it would time out. I logged into our mail server and watched the logs and it appears the Mail application was effectively terminating the connection after I hit continue. I decided to hit ‘cancel’ instead and then hit save again. It threw up a disclaimer saying I may not be able to receive mail, but low and behold: when I went to look at my inbox, mail was there! Yay! I’m really liking my ipod touch… too bad I can’t carry it around with me at work. :-(

Installed Leopard!

Nice to see that Mac OS X shipped with Python 2.5. I need to figure out how to migrate a number of my Python modules to the mainline tree though. I should really just install them into a different tree. :-)
