Going gray
October 10th, 2005
Today I’m hating on Mail.app (10.4). Why can I suddenly not delete messages anymore? Instead of disappearing, they turn gray (first message in the screenshot below):
If I go over to the IMAP server in question, the message is flagged deleted; expunging it and then refreshing Mail.app causes the gray message to disappear. It certainly didn’t always work this way.
FeedTree 0.5.1
October 10th, 2005
Over the weekend I released a minor FeedTree proxy update, fixing longstanding bugs with WebDAV (e.g. iCal calendar publication) and some Web file-upload forms. [Direct download link: feedtree-0.5.1.zip.]
Kabbalah for fun and profit
October 10th, 2005
Yes, Madonna has gone bonkers. However:
Rabbis […] are unimpressed with Madonna’s musical tribute and see the inclusion of the song about Luria on the album as an attempt by the pop star to profit from his name.
Ah, yes, right. Madonna, the unknown pop singer, will be vaulted to fame and fortune by playing on the internationally famous name of Rabbi Yitzhak Luria.
Also:
Rabbi Rafael Cohen, head of a seminary named after Luria, suggested Madonna’s actions could lead to divine retribution. “Jewish law forbids the use of the name of the holy rabbi for profit.”
You know, I never noticed it before, but there’s the GPL, sandwiched between Deuteronomy and Numbers.
Spam.

Ugh. Overnight someone sent about 400 spam messages with a forged SquirrelMail Received: header to make it look legitimate, and a return address @dsandler.org, so now I have 400 bounce messages clogging my inbox. Joy.
