This is

as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

. Here I write about many things. In the past I wrote about other things but the past is past. I write code for people to play with, I write about my life on Twitter, and I write here.

On I wrote GMail on the move, on the subject of Web and Howtos.

I’ve been wondering how best to get at my email when I’m elsewhere. I use gmail, and my phone’s poor-quality POP3 client doesn’t do authentication, meaning that I can’t download mail from gmail directly. I don’t want to run my own mailserver, either. Then I came across gmail-mobile which is a WAP front-end to GMail. These blokes score high points for genius. They have a running example of their WAP server at http://gmobile.hopto.org/ which works perfectly in my phone’s WAP browser. You can also download the code and run your own server if you don’t trust theirs to not remember your password or something. They get high points for this. Well done the gmail-mobile team!
