Backferment (special yeast) bread

Recently we’ve been into baking bread. Like, traditional easy bread thats tastey and available kinda quick after you’ve decided you wanted bread for dinner or supper.

Hey, Eefi here~! I made one of my favorite headgears from Ragnarok Online!

So – theres Push Email (meaning the iPhone will hold a HTTP connection to some server open all the time and the server writes something to that stream as soon as a new mail arrives) for various services including Microsoft Exchange and GMail. How about you hosting a own server since you don’t want to give away all your data? No problem – either use one of the tons of commercial servers supporting Push or use Z-Push with your favorite IMAP and SMTP server.
