21 Nov 05 Bookmark “Compose Mail” in Gmail

David Allen’s Getting Things Done and other to-do list systems get you mostly one thing: to-do lists whose limitless infinity lets and makes you indulge in creating to-do list items ad infinitum. Says Gerard Van der Leun and offers a less insane and self-limiting to-do list.

Whether bookmarking Gmail’s Compose Mail page is one of the most important things you have to do to-day for you I cannot decide, but if you open Gmail often only to click on Compose Mail seconds later, there is many a second (hours every year!) you can save for spending on your to-do lists: ›› Create a shortcut to composing new emails with Gmail in your browser.

22 Sep 05 Gmail Smart-Delete Button Ver. 0.5.0 Released!

Includes all the new user-requested changes of ver 0.4.1 plus incorporates ‘XPC Native Wrappers’ for additional security.

  1. Smart-Delete now traps for ‘Alt’ and ‘Ctrl’ keypresses. These combination keypresses will no longer erroneously trigger mail deletion.

  2. User defined keyboard shortcut – User can now set which key they would like to use to trigger mail deletion.
    (The default letter is ‘d’, but by editing the script file any letter can be used. Just find the following line of code near the beginning of the script: var TheDeleteKey=’d’; And change the key letter to whichever one you like. Be careful, though, not to select a shortcut already being used by Gmail!)

18 Aug 05 Google X, the Apple Touch (revisited)

Less services, but nifty interface. Originally posted by some Google folks, but pretty fast taken down, the Google X isn’t new. Except, well, some geeks had saved it in time… and here’s a re-run.
