General Software Discussion / Re: Looking for web service that checks URLs and emails if URL breaks

Perhaps you can place all the URLs in a html file, put it in a server and provide its URL in the text box here?

'gcal' shows me my events

But 'gcal add <text>' followed by any number from 2 to 9 doesn't do anything. When I add '1' at the end, the event gets added w/ start and end times as the current time.

Any idea how to fix this?

Just an idea, not sure if it will work or not:

Try any of the s/w using which you can pin programs so they always stay on top. Perhaps when you minimize everything else, outlook will remain after you've pinned it.

Total space limit while in beta phase is 2GB. It may remain so for the beta testers. At worst, it will be reduced to 1GB, but I doubt that going by the 'generosity' of the devs in their forum.

Dropbox is simple and works great even from behind my office proxy. Like it!

FF3 is almost as fast as Opera. Give it a try guys 

Its speed and awesome bar are good enough for me to keep it running in spite of some add-ons not functioning.

General Software Discussion / Re: Let go of your bookmarks!

« Last post by sri on June 16, 2008, 11:54 AM »

I end up using the FF Scrapbook extension a lot more than bookmarks - it saves a complete copy of the webpage which is usually enough for what I want, without needing to load the site, so it can be used offline as well and is an excellent way to save information. Since it remembers the url of the page, it also serves as a bookmarking tool.

Scrapbook is one of the most useful add-ons for Firefox. One of the reasons why Firefox is still my primary browser.

Thanks for all the replies!
I also was thinking if I had OS-wide tabs, then I could have all task-A related information in tab1, and task-b in tab2. I have seen software for this before, one was from this guy who did one piece of software a day for 30 days (afaik), but the implementation was not 100%.

« Last post by sri on June 03, 2008, 11:10 AM »

Anything that gets installed w/o the user asking for it can perhaps be called adware. With that in mind, yahoo toolbar is adware even today. It got installed autotragically as a bundle w/ yahoo messenger. Unstalled the crap (yahoo toolbar) immediately.

@Curt: What mousegestures are you talking about? To bring up the circular menu, you don't even have to press your right mouse button down. Just draw a small circle anywhere.
