I've been playing with my new wireless card (as you may have guessed
from my last post). I may write up something about what I've learned -
as a wireless newbie I was disappointed by the lack of good real-world
documentation on what to expect from wireless - things like what kind of
signal strength you need to get a connection, how to tell if the network
you're on is using encryption, etc. Maybe I just haven't looked in the
right places, but I've spent the time on Google.

I'm still working on Hep 0.3, but I think I'm going to have to push the
release back to next week, and even then it will probably be an
"0.3-alpha" release. Hep 0.3 has a built in SMTP proxy server that
watches messages going to your ISP's SMTP server. If it sees a message
addressed to <address>@hep, it delivers it to a destination you've
configured. I'm sending this message to weblog@hep (my weblog), and
cc'ing advogato@hep (my advogato diary). It seems to be working so far,
but the thought of people sending all their e-mail through Hep makes me
nervous: suddenly Hep will be handling information that's actually
important. So I want to do some good testing, and let the brave and
curious use it for a while before I do a "real" release.
