mail bonding

hooray! I finally got mail working on my phone again! since switching off tmobile’s $20 internet plan (which was always too expensive but which I had to sign up for to get a discount on my last phone) to their $6 unlimited gprs plan (which I *highly* recommend since i’m still getting edge speeds on it) my mail has been on the fritz. the problem turned out to be that in a burried settings dialog I had it set up to use a connection profile which I have not set up at all. this was frustrating because as far as I could tell my mail settings were right and my connection settings were right, but I could find no way to specify the link indicating which connection settings my mail profile should use. taking a cue from its big brother, the default settings for a new account in pocket outlook are “use the settings which the user has never configured and are sure to not work.” erg. more good news: I learned that my mailserver supports imap! this effectively solves my “how should I access my mail remotely?” problem. yay!

My Friend Goo

Greasemonkey is surely
the goo that binds the web together. Cory (who is going through a
British Invasion right now) just mentioned a movie he’d seen on the
Stones a while back - href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065780/">Gimme Shelter. I
looked it up in IMDb and thought “I’d like to add this to my NetFlix
queue” and immediately thought “there should be an easier way to go
from an IMDb movie page to getting that movie into my NetFlix queue!”
One quick search through href="http://www.userscripts.org/">userscripts.org and I find href="http://www.userscripts.org/scripts/show/573">Netflix Links in
IMDb. Now all my titles in IMDb contain links to search for the
title in Netflix. Ahh - Greasemonkey, take me away!
