Thought for today
Nov 22nd
“All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.”
- by Bill Hicks
…quite entertaining to contemplate that this could be true.
Gmail invades Apple Mail
Nov 20th
Today while playing around with the new Apple Mail’s IMAP IDLE feature (which still doesn’t quit work I think) I discovered an interesting bit in the Preferences window.
Apparently Google succeeded in placing a link to it’s own help page into the Accounts settings in Leopard’s Mail.app. If this is placed there by Apple or via an integrated feature that lets email providers include Help links there, is unknown to me.
But still interesting and quite clever!
Re-enabling GrowlMail under OS X Leopard
Nov 19th
Apple Mail under OS X Leopard doesn’t support the GrowlMail Mailbundle which comes as an extra when installing the Growl notificaiton framework. Since I really missed that feature, that has been with me as long as I own a Mac, I searched around the WWW to find a solution.
Luckily there is a way:
- Quit Apple Mail
- Download the Growl .dmg from its website and install GrowlMail
- Launch the Terminal
- Enter the following two commands
defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles -bool YES
defaults write com.apple.mail BundleCompatibilityVersion -int 3 - Start Apple Mail and enable the GrowlMail plugin
- Be happy ever after
