The time is 12:10 on July 31st, 2008 (7/31/08) and it looks like gmail’s SMTP server may be having some problems, when I try to send a mail in thunderbird using gmail’s SMTP server it goes to 33% hangs for a bit and then gives me an error message that says the email can’t be sent. I’ve looked, but can’t find much info about this problem, so I would like to pose a question to my readers…

Is there anyone else out there experiencing these problems too??? (please comment if you are)

UPDATE: It was an encoding problem on my side, all seems to be find with gmail.

Did you know that Israel is not the only place where Jews self govern? There is region in Russia where Yiddish is an official language and judaism is taught in the public schools. This place is called the Jewish Autonomous Oblast and even though Jews now make up only about 1% of its population they once made up more, also it looks like the Jewish community there is growing.
