Jeff Atwood, blogger and coder over at Coding Horror, one of the many blogs I read, had this post up sometime last year, and I thought it was such a good post that I’ve recommended it to a couple friends, but I realized I never actually blogged it.
Jeff discusses a similar topic to what I’ve discussed in [...]
Yesterday, as everyone — including me — expected, Apple introduced their first big foray into the tablet computing market (if you don’t count the iPhone as a tablet) called the iPad.

I use Gmail on the web. No local client. (This [...]

When my company went from using an IMAP server (which I used to filter using procmail rules) to using Google’s Gmail Cloud architecture for our email, I was excited. I’d been using my Google Gmail account for years, and up until that point, had always done so through IMAP.
