I have a couple of colleagues that send extremely long emails that could have been summed up in a couple of sentences. You would think they are getting paid by the word. The effectiveness of email is lost when you have to take time to mentally summarize what the sender is conveying. I can't even imagine the time it…

Rage Against the Machine usually keeps me going.

@the-happy-manager:

I was concerned with the prince of the expensive disposable blades until the recent Lifehacker post about extending the life of them by keeping them submerged alcohol. [lifehacker.com]

Some of those are hilarious. I now need a framed DWG (Dead White Guy) painting for my office.

It you want to know exactly how much energy your stuff is using get a "Kill-a-Watt". [www.amazon.com] It even has a button to tell you usages in kilowatts per hour which is what your energy bill is shown in.

I'd rather procrastinate in life and enjoy some things that are pleasurable to me than be a super productive worker drone that purposely denies myself slight happiness.

Gmail needs to make this a optional setting you can turn on and off. Very much appreciate whom ever thought of this. Seeing the unread spam count has always bothered me.

Someone brought me a pc to clean off because they were donating it to someone who doesn't have one. After I wiped the hard drive I installed Ubuntu 7.10. No problems, works like a dream. I'm only worried that the recipient will not be willing to use it because it's not Windows and it is slightly unfamiliar. I use…

@Pomme: Pomme, I to have a T632. Mine just prints the script out on paper. Anyone else just get a paper printout with LEXMARK printers.

Not to be confused with SeatSniffer.

@jsw: I see your point. It's not really directed toward the receiver in error, but rather to protect the confidentiality between the sender and actual recipient because they are suppose to have a confidential agreement with each other. So one can't claim the other one wasn't being confidential. You probably worded…

@jsw: I too hate the confidentiality clauses/Legal disclaimers. Under what public authority can a sender punish the receiver for reading something that was sent "openly" to the receiver in error? If it's a confidentiality issue wouldn't the receiver have to read and agree to the terms in some way to be liable?…

I keep it simple and only use it in emails to people who may not know who I am.

I mix my own Gatorade. Does that count? Recently Gatorade has decided to go the way of Powerade and sweeten their ready to drink products with High Fructose Corn Syrup. They use to not, but I guess they are trying to go with the cheaper stuff that I'm trying to avoid. Alternatively you can get the canister of the…

I found these to be similar. [www.3m.com]

I'm loving this. I did though have to restart my machine after I ran the install scripts because the application launcher wasn't appearing. The only hiccup I ran into.

Using Pine is a rite of passage. All must experience it to fully appreciate what email is today. Though I don't miss it.

I've used gDesklet's StarterBar since it was featured here. I have to say that after I installed this last night I much prefer Awn and have removed gDesklet Starterbar from my desktop. The best way I can describe it is that it operates smoother.

violentvinyl: You just gave me a completely passive aggressive way to get the point out to some people that I don't need the "Thanks" email every single time. I'm going to start sending "You're welcome" replies to these. I think that might curb some of this or at least amuse me a little.
