+I've implementing a version of Daniel Patterson's `Hacker's GMail Replacement`_, and finally got around to publishing it as `a Puppet module`_.
+Even if you don't know puppet, it shouldn't be too hard to walk through the manifests and see what setting it up involved.
+
+I don't live inside Emacs as much as Mr Patterson apparently does, so I left out the notmuch and afew content.
+Instead I added `radicale`_ support for publishing my calendar and todo lists, and I've started moving towards setting up LDAP for my address book.
+That may be overkill - maintaining an LDAP address book for personal use looks like a PITA.
+
+So far, it's working well with my phone using `K9`_ for mail and `aCal`_ for a calender. On the non-phones, Thunderbird/Lightning is working out well.
+
+I've set up gmail to forward to my non-gmail account. Pretty much the only time I log into gmail (or google for that matter) in the past couple months
+has been to delete content or wipe profile data.
+
+It was an interesting exercise. The next steps for this project would be to update the manifests to follow the Puppet Forge documentation standards,
+and to include some rspec-puppet tests, and then to maybe like into setting up `Packer`_ to build a VM that applies the module.
