Forwarding multiple mails in Google Mail

Posted by Tariq • Thursday, July 16. 2009 • Category: Tidbits
One gripe I have had for years is the inability in Google mail to forward more than one message at a time. I am not sure why it hasn't been implemented after all these years; scared of extra traffic, spam? Anyhows, this rant brings me to some new functionality Tasks. Now I could rant on about this a bit because IMHO it sucks ass right now, but hey, a move in the right direction. If it works well in six months I'd be happy.

But I'd be mucho mucho happier with the ability to forward multiple mails.

P.s. Anyone else notice the ultra crap quality of attached images when you click 'view' instead of 'download' lately?

P.s.s. This all doesn't negate the fact that Google Mail, overall, is awesome.

You should be scared and not just of Sinn Fein -- Labour is pretty scary too! Take a look at the scandalous proposals of the opposition.

Fine Gael's looks promising and it would be nice to compare with Fianna Fáil's only they don't have a plan.

At the same time Firefox crackpots (I am nearly one :op) riled at how inferior Google Chrome was or still *is* -- what no browser extensions? I decided to hold back on what I thought and give it a fair chance.

Skype: And the crappy browser addon

Posted by Tariq • Wednesday, December 3. 2008 • Category: Rants
I generally hate to update things which work just fine. There is usually very little reason to: the application is in use because the stability and feature set of the current version are good. Now I have used Skype for years (probably only using 20% of the available feature set) and I always loathed upgrading because it'll try and install a bunch of stuff I don't need. Which is bad, but installing utter crap now that's just not on. Take a look at what Skype's FireFox addon does to my links below.
