Sometimes the web is just wonderful.

Apple 1984 commercial, found sifting through Flashdance videos.

Gorgeous T-shirt. On white background, ‘Baby Doll T’ cut (uhg, I hate that name…) and the smallest size, please.

These days I am testing how it is to use Thunderbird for mail. So far I am just finding my way through it, so I am probably missing most of the functionality.

However, the junk mail filter seems to work very well with very little training, and the Thunderbird-Tray mini-app was easy to install and really helpful to put Thunderbird out of the way withouth closing it completely.

There are some more “minimize Thunderbird to tray” applications at Minimize to system tray (Thunderbird) - MozillaZine Knowledge Base, but the MinimizeToTray extension listed there did not work with the newest version of Thunderbird. A pity, as I would rather use an extension than an external app.

So far, it is been a pleasure to migrate (from Outlook). But I am still in the honeymoon period, so I will let you know how it goes.

Just a quick note to point out that I have slightly modified the sidebar links from my ‘clipblog’. Now the links point directly to the referenced items, instead of the Bloglines ‘preview’ URL. It took some scraping of the HTML+Javascript from Bloglines’ preview pages, but it seems to work ok now.

Just a quick note to say that I am trying out a small hack to integrate links from my Bloglines ‘clipblog’ into the sidebar of this page. The clipblog contains quick links to interesting feed items that I come across during my everyday news reading.

As you might have guessed already, I read my feeds with Bloglines. I use liberally the ‘Clip/Blog This’ functionality, too. If you find my ‘feed juice’ interesting, you can suscribe directly to the clipblog rss feed.

Anyway, this hack of mine is still in alpha, so please let me know if you see anything funky, or if you have any suggestions for improvement. I will play around with it some more days, tidy up the code and then I will explain more in detail what it does. If you are wondering why I didn’t use one of the existing clipblog hacks/plugins, it is just that they don’t do exactly what I wanted (or I couldn’t find one that did what I wanted). But I will talk more about this later.

Summarizing: ‘feed juice’ in sidebar in alpha-testing. Please let me know what you think.
