Last week I placed an order for a Thinkpad X220 (specs to follow), and I can hardly contain my anticipation! When researching any kind of mobile computer, my main requirements are always:

• is the display bright enough to use outside and does it have a decent resolution?
• is the keyboard large enough to type on for long coding sessions?
• is the hardware supported relatively well under Linux?

The 12.5″ IPS screen satisfies condition #1, while the full-sized non-chicklet keyboard satisfies condition #2.

• Added support for Google Apps email accounts.
• Email subject automatically limited to 30 characters.

I haven’t had much time lately to work on gmail-notifier, however, this small update should be beneficial to those who’s connection drops intermittently or who’s internet connection isn’t established before gmail-notifier.py starts.

=D

Now with configuration GUI

Fixed a regression or two, and added a longer timeout before the initial check.
