I've been working on a commandline utility that creates a temporary email inbox. This uses the 1secMail service as a host for the inbox. Temporary emails are very useful when you want to sign up for a service just to try it out without commiting to giving a company your real email address.

The utility allows you to create a random or predefined email address, browse the messages, and, in a future update, will allow you to download attachments. It's written in python and you can find it here.

A neat part of the project is that the wrapper around the 1secMail service is decoupled from the terminal ui so it can be used in a backend server, for a graphical ui, or in automated tasks.

With all the rains the insects are out in full force. There's a mite infestation in the chicken flock so we've ordered some products to help us get rid of them. It makes me anxious thinking that the chickens are in pain or discomfort. Hopefully we can solve this quickly for them.
