I tried to send email today, but it wasn't working. Turns out Shaw started blocking port 25 (SMTP). Considering I have a business internet account with them, I was pretty upset, especially since I wasn't notified in advance. They said they sent an email months ago.

I asked them to give me details of the message (when, what was the subject, what was the from address?) so I could try to find it but the person didn't know that information. I would have expected a letter to be sent to my address for a change in service.

The only way around the block was to pay $20 a month for two static IP addresses.

So I asked my ISP if there was a workaround. Use port 2525, they said. Yup, that works.

As for .Mac, use port 587, that works.

What a stupid policy.

We're home!

I worked on the Rails on Rules code throughout my trip to HOPL-III and WWDC, including during the drive to and from San Francisco (whenever Cheryl was driving, obviously).

I am happy to report that around 7:10 pm tonight, on the ferry back to Victoria, I had a TestUnit test successfully lookup data via the rule engine for the first time! Yay!
