Holy Cow! I just saw that Google Adds IMAP Support To GMail. We use Google Apps for Domains here at “The Hole,” and now that I have discovered it, I do not see why more people and companies do not take advantage of it. Like all things, it is true that this isn’t the best thing for all people and companies, but taking 4 gigs of email off your home computer and putting it on Google’s redundant servers for the price of nothing sounds like a no brainer.
I am using this for most of my domains, although they wouldn’t let me sign up for my NaNoWriMo domain. I’m not sure why. I picked Pen Is Mightier.Info and they wouldn’t let me use Google Apps for Domains. Strangely enough they let me use the domain for a Blogger redirect.
The Pie Hole recommends Google Apps for Domains.

I woke up this morning, which is better than the alternative, and remembered a weird dream. Sure, you’ve had those dreams before, but when you still remember it 2 hours later, it’s a goodie. I still remember parts of a dream I had after returning from a High School Jazz Festival in Florida in the late 80’s. I need to write this down as parts are fading, fast.
Anyway, I was some sort of secret, undercover guy. The scene opened at night time. I had a storefront to complete my image of whatever it was that I was pretending to do to be legit. The next morning, the storefront would be vacant, just as it was three days ago, with a big black and yellow “For Lease” sign in the window. I walked over to the place where I would be waiting for some guy. He was the type of guy who people were starting to believe didn’t exist. Anytime reporters or the public would call, he was out of the office. You would end up with a message from him on your answering machine, but no one ever spoke to him, directly or over the phone.

As the fifteen or so “regular visitors” to the site have noticed, I have a new layout for the site. I was getting tired of the orange, and thought I’d switch to a cleaner template. Hopefully it will make for an increase in return visitors. I certainly enjoy it more.
The homework assignment for October is to read Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. Come November, we’ll discuss how the hippies of today used Brave New World
to shape their views of the way the world should be run. Every couple of years I think it’s important to re-read this and other works like it that show a Utopian future, remembering that they were written as satire or warnings. By the way, watching the movie does not count for our purposes.
Anyway, read, read, read, and we’ll discuss in November, while finding time to work on your National Novel Writing Month Novel and work and sleep and everything else that you usually do. After all, what’s an extra 1,700 words each and every day?
