We're not going to complain if Owen eventually wants
to also dust, mow the lawn, and shovel the driveway.
You can't start learning to do chores too early.

Mac OSX 10.5.2 is Good

I installed the update to 10.5.2 on my laptop and I'm
a satisfied customer. A few really annoying problems
in previous versions of Leopard seemed to have
disappeared.
1.) Mail.app is usable again. This didn't seem to be Apple's bug as much as it was GrowlMail's bug but I'm glad 10.5.2 decided to disable GrowlMail by default. Another problem I had was that subject line in the top display pane sometimes didn't match the email body in the lower pane. I didn't spend much time tracking down the issue but it seems to have been resolved. I've started migrating back from Thunderbird for my work mail. (No offense is meant towards Thunderbird btw. I just liked features in Mail by preference such as Spotlight indexing, Edit in Textmate, look & feel. I probably could have invested time getting Thunderbird working the way I would have liked but never did it.)
2.) Google Notifier works behind my company's proxy server again. Until this update it crashed every morning when I fired up the laptop.
3.) Translucent Menu Bar is a configurable option now.
I'm just glad my mail setup now works again. It's been a while so I'm glad to have it back.
There are still some items that I still can't seem to get working though. The most aggravating is authenticating users against OpenLDAP using an SSL or TLS connection. I've tried editting /etc/openlap/ldap.conf as suggested from Google Searches but still no luck.... Unencrypted connections do work like a champ though which isn't too satisifying since this all worked under Tiger without any problems.
