As many people are aware Apple released Mac OS X 10.5.6 yesterday. Unfortunately this broke the HttpMail plugin 🙁 After a little bit of poking around I found and fixed the problem. The result is a new release of the plugin 1.53. Head on over to my downloads site at http://www.automagic-software.com/ Now, for a status report …

water level sensor
It’s been a good few weeks for my water tanks 🙂
IT LIVES :)
After a bit of playing about I’ve got my water level sensor working 🙂 I’m using Munin to log the data coming back from the unit attached to the sensor. The unit is overkill for my needs, but since I had it lying about here and I didn’t want to spend anything to do this job …
Some tinkering I’ve been up to recently
I’m working on building a system to measure the water level in my rain water tanks. Finally today I’ve managed to get my hardware all working, and now I need to build the physical measurement device. Originally I was going to use ultra-sound to measure the depth of the water but I decided that was …
Windows Live Mail
Just a quick note to let everybody know that I’m making good progress reverse engineering the Windows Live Mail protocol. With the help of a couple of other people I’ve managed to determine the nature of the compression used on the message data. We’ve successfully managed to build the decompression table and I’m now working …
HTTPMail 1.52 released

Weird characters in the previous post
Something really strange happened in the previous post. There were these weird characters appearing in the text. From what I can see it is WebKit trying to be helpful and create non-breaking spaces. Unfortunately rather than insert a good old it is inserting 0xA0 characters. I’ve just added some code to look for these …
WebView woes
I have been working on a little blog posting app for my wife for some time called BlogThing. The first version worked well enough that I released it for download from the Automagic Software site. It used some pretty nasty stuff that iterated over the chunks in an NSAttributedString, and while it worked pretty well …
MMKeys songbird plugin
I’ve been insanely busy the last few months. I’ve recently changed jobs and had to go overseas to meet the client so have not had as much time to work on things such as my HTTPMail plugin 🙁 Anyway, today I got an email saying there was a new version of Sonbird (a really nice …
