Google Mail: from forwarding to active polling
I really liked their feature, that I can forward the incoming e-mail to my Google Mail account (and the Google Mail / Google Apps one as well) to my main e-mail account.
But they poke the "Return-Path:" mail header field then, and that makes it unreasonable for use with procmail.
So for the time being I switched them from forwarding to getting polled by fetchmail with SMTP-ing to my standard account.
The new problem to face then: My mobile phone Internet Access does not allow me to do IMAP and SMTP, and most corporate networks just as well. So maybe I let my own server in my home office do this. The downside of that: sometimes messages do not get successfully sent out, and I will never notice them, if that occurs on my (home office) server. In my experience that only occurs to messages with weird sender addresses and so forth – but you never really know that.
Well, we shall see! More valuable experiences to make.

is it worth migrating from Blogger to WordPress?
WordPress 3.2 brings Zen editing to blogging - The H Open Source: News and Features
Google recently announced to discontinue Google Health.
Having this in mind, shouldn't I migrate to more reliable services on a long-term basis for my blogging and address DB platfoms?

logging in into mail.google.com from behind a firewall seems to hang
It appears to me, the Google Mail Talk Gadget phones home, and if its port is filtered by the firewall, you are going to wait for ages.

Contacts Manager within my Google Apps domain and contact picture
It looses its pictures, it doesn't accept new ones, it doesn't show an error message, it's weird and somehow broken. When I searched for this problem picture recently, I wasn't able to find other descriptions than mine.
When I "Add a picture", it let's me proceed, but finally after I want to "Apply Changes", nothing happens. After a while I decide to press "Back to upload".
Today they actually started telling me "Error while saving your picture." But I have no idea, what that refers to, and "the web" does not offer a solution here either.
This does not happen with my standard Google account, but only with my Google Apps domain account.

do not work on your Google Mail address book in parallel!
I worked on my address book in two different tabs of my browser. That was actually Google Chrome 8, but I think, that doesn't matter. If you modify and save an address book entry in tab "B", you will not see these changes in tab "A". They are not coordinated, and that's not optimal. I am quite sure, the changes in tab "B" are still updated on your persistent database at Google's sites, and you can expect to see the changes, when you load your address book anew.

procmail has been around since December 1990. Those, who didn't want to know, needed to suffer for that. Well deserved.

Googe Mail "Contacts Manager" has even gotten much, much nicer …
… with the recent update.
I wonder how long it will take for the new features to find their way into the Google Apps version of the Contacts Manager.

Google Mail Contacts is my personal killer app
Serious!!!
Once again: it syncs with the iPhone address book.
I use it for reverse look up (phone number to address book entry) together with my telephone system in my home office, and that's build around an AVM "FRITZ!Box". The glue software got implemented by myself in ruby (w/o Rails).
Why ruby? I thought, I could make it run with Cocoa Ruby on the iPhone. But you know yourself: Apple fights those kinds of things. And just for running it with a GUI on a usual Mac OS X? No, that's not worth my effort.

I forgot mentioning xing.com here. Downloading vCards from xing and adding them here – that's just awesome!

I really love using vCards and profiles pictures from Xing
I "always" also "copy" them for my Google Mail address book, which gets synced with my iPhone's address book. This really makes my life so much easier – recognising resp. remembering people by their faces is so much easier.
Update / 2010-06-16:
I forgot to mention, that I always use Xing's vCards for new contacts to create resp. complete their entries in my Google Mail resp. iPhone address book.
