Last night/this morning I went to access my Gmail emails via my iGoogle widget, and was kindly informed that the emails couldn’t be displayed because HTTPS was enabled in Gmail, and the iGoogle widget couldn’t function unless HTTPS was turned off. Five seconds later, however, they magically appeared in the widget.

“We just want to go home.”
I know I said I’d do a writeup of my time in the USA, and I (probably) still will, but right now I wanted to write about something that I’ve been wanting to see since I saw the trailer for the first time: District 9.

There’s a lot going on in the tech world at the moment, it seems. Yesterday saw the release of (and abundance of news stories about) Windows Mobile 6.5. Windows Mobile is the OS used in a lot of PDAs and handheld data device, and even some phones. Asides from my PDA at work, which I never seem to have for more than 5 minutes before someone robs it, is the only experience of Windows Mobile I’ve had. It seems fairly good as Windows goes, so I’ve got no complaints. I’ve also got no news, opinions, or cares about it either.
