Gmail is one of the best solution to handle so much flood of mail, but an inconvenience annoys me these days.
The size of the preview thumbnails of the image attachments.
Because I receive many of mail with atattchments including the automatically converted FAX as jpg, I wrote easy greasemonkey script named gmailEnlargePreview to make the thumbnails larger.
Please try if you like this. The script can be get from :

After upgrading Apache 2.2, you sometimes encounter the error "[warn] (2)No such file or directory: Failed to enable the 'httpready' Accept Filter" on FreeBSD.
You need load "accf_http.ko" by kldload.
(kldload can loads dynamically kernel module without rebuilding kernel.)
# sudo kldload accf_http.ko
And enable it in loader.conf
# vi /boot/loader.conf
accf_http_load="YES"
After installing the latest ImageMagick (6.4.2), an error occured on MovableType image upload interface. The error said "/usr/local/lib/libMagickCore.so.1 Undefined symbol "pthread_equal".
A web source tells it causes because of misconfigure on some version of FreeBSD (I guess 5.x or earlier version. It works fine on my 6.2.)
An easy solution is disable "thread".
Try it on configure process.
# ./configure --without-threads
Sometimes CPAN install fails because of registered site's problem.
You can change the URL by this command.
cpan> o conf urllist push "CPAN URL"
CPAN site list is available on CPAN SITE page.
If you are UNIX-ite, you will like the web site "Goosh".
"Goosh" is a web based Google interface which imitates unix type CUI.
It has UNIX commands like "ls", "more", "clear", "cd", etc.
You can search images and videos by the command "images" and "video". And also "wiki", "news", "blogs", "feeds", "place", "translate" are available.
This is kind of worthless web program but you can just have fun on unique type of web site.
Even If you don't like the default desktop picture of Leopard and change it to the picture you like, MacOSX displays the picture again while booting up.
You can find out the default desktop picture in the path "/System/Library/CoreServices". Just get rid of the jpeg file "DefaultDesktop.jpg". Then you will never see the bored default picture from next boot.
I opened an image file with FireWorks CS4 by mistake, and I thought it would go to crash. But, it showed the activation dialog and could quit the application safely after opening the file.
Then I tried to check FW CS4 as main editor in DW CS4. Anyway though, there are still many possibility of sudden crash.
DreamWeaver CS4 almost runs well on my works.
I usually use dual display (display of MacBook Pro and an external display). I sometimes bring out MacBook Pro to other work place, and when I plug a different external display (different resolution), DW CS4 forgets the work place I registered. It messes up palettes.
I hope this bug will be fixed in next beta version.
I started to use Adobe DreamWeaver and FireWorks CS4 Beta Trial verision.
And trying to leave trial reports on Techlog.
This is an old tip I didn't know.
Options of MacOSX screen sharing can be extended by terminal commands.
The terminal command below enables Boujour screen sharing list.
ShowBonjourBrowser_Debug 1
And you can add more options on your sharing screen by the next command.
Today, Wikipedia is a well known only internet cyclopedia weaven by internet users around the world. Wikipedia has so powerful and rich contents in it, but in most of cases, you need type exact keywords to search what you want to know.
Now, Powerset let you use natural language to search the Wikipedia's database. For example, by the words "bicycle fixed", the search results lists most related conecpts and quotes in Wikipedia. (Top search results of "bicycle" and "fixed' show articles related with "fixed gear bicycle" and "bicycle messenger".)
Wikipedia plus Powerset engine will be the strongest knowledge database in the internet.
