This is what i have always wanted: Gmail for handphone:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmail-mobile/

In config.php uncomment this line:

$config_session = (!GM_USE_PHPSESSION | GM_USE_COOKIE);

Others seems to cause problem with au handphone, but then I did not investigate further.

When running for example MacOS 7.6 and then trying to access AFP file server residing on MacOS X 10.3.6, then following error message appeared:

“This file server uses an incompatible version of the afp protocol. You cannot connect to it. Please contact the servers administrator.”

The facts are (not all directly causing the above problem):

1. MacOS earlier than version 8 did not support AppleTalk-over-TCP, while MacOS X 10.0.x did not support AppleTalk-not-over-TCP. Beginning with 10.1, though, it did. This is why in the above case the MacOS 10.3.6 appears as AFP server on Chooser. Please make sure, though, AppleTalk is turned on from “Network” setting on MacOS 10.3.6, because it is not turned on by default. This is rather strange because on file sharing AFP sharing is turned on.

2. AFP version in MacOS X 10.3.6 (AFP version 3.1?) and the one in MacOS 7.6 (version 1.1?) is not compatible.

3. In order to access MacOS X 10.3.6 AFP file server from MacOS 7.6, Open Transport to version 1.1.2 and the Appleshare client software to version 3.7.4 are necessary (unverified).

UPDATE: I have tried point no.3 above (I updated AppleShare to version 3.7.4, because Open Transport already version 1.1.2), but MacOS 7.6 still could not connect to MacOS X (both MacOS Server 10.3.6 and Mac OS X 10.3.4). This time the error message was “server not responding”. I then tried the other way around, using “Connect to server…”. Connecting to “afp://username:password@PB520:AFPServer” (the existence of this was first confirmed using attool and appleping) produces wrong password error message, even though the password was correct. Then I tried running “Chooser” from MacOS 10.3.4 (an iMac) in Classic… voila! Now MacOS 7.6 appeared on chooser, when clicked username/password prompted, and the disk appeared on desktop! If I am not mistaken, before updating to AppleShare 3.7.4 the MacOS 7.6 did not even appear on Classic’s Chooser.

On qmail, DNS black list support is built in, so at tcpserver startup script, simply wrap qmail-smtpd by rblsmtpd as follows (see underline):

tcpserver -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -v -u 538 -g 516 0 smtp /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -r sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1

I found sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org to be acceptable. Be careful since some black list server put the whole country into the list (they wrote “such as China, Brazil..” but I found that Japan is also blocked). In order to check with black list has certain IP addresses, I like to use http://ordb.org/lookup/. It helps checking not only ordb.org’s database only, but also other databases.

There are several tools that can record WindowsMedia stream (asf etc) into file. Some tools are sharewares (like Windows Media Recorder), but the most useful one I found are these freewares:

GetASFStream
http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-PaloAlto/9000/soft6.html

ASFRecorder
http://sourceforge.net/projects/asfrecorder/

Now I wish there recorder tools that can handle WindowsMedia DRM… because even free contents are sometimes employed Windows DRM as the non-free ones.
