Cleaning Out My Closet

Actually, my inbox.

Google as part of their new support for sending voicemails to people via Google Talk, created a very slick inline MP3 player that they use in Gmail. This led some enterprising individuals to find how to link that from any other site, and then of course the creation of a Greasemonkey script to do it automatically. Adam at Lifehacker actually created this script.

Now, something you wouldn't have heard 5 years ago. There is a freeware app that is available on Mac, but not Windows that I really want. Google has had the Gmail notifier for quite some time, but now on Mac only, they have the Google Notifier. This handles calendar as well as email notifications. The page links off to the Gmail notifier for Windows, but there is no Google Notifier available for that platform. Damn! Oh well, I need multiple Gmail profile support, so I will probably stick with Gmail Manager and Google Calendar Notifier extensions for Firefox.
