Recent changes to the script include:

• Now sends entire message body as a reply.  (IMAP breaks the message body into multiple lines, and this was tripping up my script since I expected it all on one line)
• Does not send the user's signature or quoted messages if user defines strings that indicate a signature:
• User can define what strings are present that indicate a signature so that the entire message history is not sent.
  i.e. Gmail on Android sends my signature as

  Tony Lademan
  

  so I add that to the array, but Gmail on the web sends my signature as

  --
  Tony Lademan
  

  so I also add "--" to the array as well.  Similarly, if you don't have a signature, but your client quotes messages with a string such as On DATE, NAME wrote:, then you can add wrote: or the name to your array.  Commands are described in the comment body of the script.  Multiple strings can be stored and will be used to determine when the script should stop reading the message body.

• Rudimentary help descriptions for the commands.

There's no change log in the file itself yet, not sure if I should do that or push this to its own git repo and make a separate CHANGELOG file that aggregates all of the relevant logs from my current "scripts" repo.  Or just push my entire scripts repo somewhere public and not give a shit.

In my haste, I do not have error checking for things like failed logins.  Make sure your username and password are correct if you try to use this. 
You will need to have the imaplib python module installed.

If you're looking for a fun strategy game, let me recommend Greed Corp. It's a turn based game based around eliminating the other players. It's a tile based game, and that aspect reminds me heavily of physical board games like Carcassonne or Settlers of Catan. The build options are very limited in Greed Corp, though. You can build and destruct harvesters, build armories that let you build units (of which there is a single kind) and carriers, and turrets.

On the surface, it seems pretty simple, but one of the unique parts about this game is that the tiles have layers, and certain actions can strip these layers until that tile is destroyed. By the end of a specific match, the level will look nothing like what you started with. This can obviously really mess up transportation or harvesting plans, and so is a very valuable or detestable strategy.

I bought it for $2.50 since it is on sale until noon today central time over at http://steampowered.com.  Normally it's only ten dollars, which is still a pretty good price for this game.

And now off to campus for thirteen hours.

It was a really dark episode, definitely did not expect that. Totally awesome, though.

About three months ago, David got me back into Team Fortress 2.  I took about a month off, then played a few nights with David and Brian and am back into it again. It really does not help that I finally got off my butt and installed it under wine. It works flawlessly after a few tweaks.

It's been about a week now since David also got me into the whole item economy in TF2. Now I'm keeping track of the random drops I get, what they're worth in refined metalt, and what I can trade them for. I still don't know what I want, item wise, but I'll still trade for things!

I was able to get all but two of my currently played Steam games to work under wine, which is going to be really bad for my productivity, since rebooting into windows was actually kind of a good deterrent. Also included in that list of games: Sim City 4.  My academic life is over.

Now? Performs wonderfully despite a few minor issues: after converting from rfs to ext4, it boot loops twice before finally allowing me to use the phone, but apparently 2.3 kernel development is still a little behind on the Captivate. I also can't use the Google search app, the one that pops up when you hit the search button. It just crashes. Not that I used it much, but still.

Overall, definitely worth it.

Oh look, search is working.

Also boot loops appear to be gone.

I can't sleep right now for fear of them crawling on me and drinking my blood. I feel every itch, every hair movement. That dark freckle on the side of my knee looks like a bug from up here. So does that black spot in front of the bathroom.

Why did we get a dark purple color for our bed sheets? Are they nesting behind the molding? Will they nest in the new bed frame? When we were sleeping on the rug for three or four days, did we let them build a new home there? Are a million tiny little eggs going to hatch from the rug? The wall? The old pillows? Our electronics that we steam cleaned?

I haven't seen them. I haven't seen their poop, or any out of place blood stains. There have been none of the tell-tale bite marks after sleeping. Sarah had one after we went to the other place to get some work done there, but that's it. 

Pinto is just licking the floor, not trying to eat a bug. Sarah doesn't seem the least bit upset.

It might help if I wasn't the one sleeping so close to the wall.

I bet it's really hard to see a tiny, dark red bug on a dark purple mattress cover.

It's going to be months before I feel safe and comfortable again.

Why do I have a dark freckle on my foot, too?

Well, the bed looks fine save for some cat hair, Sarah, and Pinto who just came over to tell me to go to sleep. I feel a little more comfortable that he checked out my side of the bed then came back to rub me, as if to say that everything is fine. Also, if he saw something, his being a cat wouldn't let him ignore it.

Kinda wish my cat would do this sort of thing for me. Instead he's just falling asleep on top of the placeware cabinet I built earlier today.

Though at this point, aren't the cats ours, not mine and hers? Funny how one's views on ownership change after becoming engaged.

Life is weird right now, but at least going through a seemingly hopeless situation like this is reaffirming my decision to ask Sarah to marry me. She's been immensely helpful.

I did the same thing in perl quite a while ago to learn how to manipulate XML from within perl. The android version uses sqlite, since it's built into the system, basically.

It doesn't do anything fancy, nor does the date really matter yet (it is a secondary sort term, but that's it for now), but I'm already finding it pretty handy, and I think I'm getting comfortable with the idea of releasing it.

I think it would be really cool to do some sort of cloud storage thing so that I could link it with my perl script and have the same list on all of my devices, but that'll be way down the line.

NOTE: I apologize for the size of the images, I'm doing this from my phone, so making thumbnails and linking to the full-size image is pretty tough. If I remember to, I'll fix this later.
