IMAP
IMAP rocks. It makes POP3 look like a kiddie toy. I’m waiting for gmail to support IMAP. Plus, Thunderbird let’s you connect to an IMAP server through an SSL tunnel (actually and interestingly, gmail requires SSL to connect to their POP3 server), so my password is never transmitted in the open.
It’s just weird to have a persistent connection to a mail server. Mail is so…instant.
Subversion access to sigma is still in the works. WebSVN is running, but I haven’t gotten the code uploaded. I might have time tomorrow.
