I’m going to start playing around with Google Calendars. My Touch Football admin team have been using Google Docs (was Writely) for collaborative documentation, and I need to reorganise my life.
gCalendars look cool, and I might be able to sync with PalmOS. Hopefully both ways, although even just one way might do.

I’m not sure if this is a ‘feature’ of general Gmail, or only the Gmail for Hosted Domains variety.
I had the need to send an executable file, and I had zipped it up, as there were also support files in the directory. I attempted to send it, and Gmail complained:
Sorry, ArchiveName.zip contains an executable file. Schinckel.net policy prevents sending these files, as they provide a security risk.
I had to rename it to .zip.jpg, and then resend it.
I’m not an idiot. I know when a file I am sending is relatively clean (as clean as can be expected), and I am prepared to take the risk. I manage the domain, and I have never checked any box about preventing .exe files.
Aargh!
