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 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.
I started to use Adobe DreamWeaver and FireWorks CS4 Beta Trial verision.
And trying to leave trial reports on Techlog.
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.

I needed a CPAN module "File::Basename 2.76" (It seemed to be included from perl version 5.10.0), so upgraded perl to version 5.10.0.
As a result, MovableType4.1 got an error in its library.
(Got an error: Can't locate object method "configure" via package "MT::ObjectDriverFactory" at lib/MT.pm line 877.)
I removed 5.10.0 and switched it back to 5.8.8.
MT4.1 is not incompatible with perl5.10.0 at this moment.
