Re-Enter My Email Address… Why?
Before you ask me to re-enter my email address you’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’. Here’s why, and what you can do instead.

My “GMail Multiple From Address Extensions” Greasemonkey Script Goes Over 1,000 Downloads
At the request of another mostly anonymous Internet user I spent some time and knocked out a simple little addon for GMail that I oh-so-creatively named “GMail Multiple From Address Extensions“. While the title may not be catchy, “wmblewett”‘s idea certainly seems to be. In the first two days the script was widely available it [...]
Using the GMail Greasemonkey API and Succeeding: My Workaround
The new GMail interface is a giant mass of frames and obfuscated JavaScript. Knowing this, Google released an API for Greasemonkey authors to use, called the GmailGreasemonkey10API. Isn’t that nice of them? Well, don’t get too excited. First, it is fairly limited in what it can do. Its greatest advantage for you is that it [...]

They Call it ‘Repacking a Heavy Bag’ for a Reason
I own an 80lb heavy bag that I use for exercise. I got it used, and just hung it up and began banging away. I love the workout, and the stress relief helps as well. About a year has gone by, and the filling has begun to settle even more. It was to the point [...]
Kubuntu 8.10 is Official: Color Me “Meh”
I don’t personally know many people who are bigger fans or proponents of KDE than I am. I think it’s fantastic. I love just about everything about it. Except KDE 4. It’s just not that exciting to me. The new features aren’t that important to me and as a whole the desktop performs rather pitifully [...]
