Guest Post – Official Gmail Blog: New in Labs: Multiple Inboxes

// February 6th, 2009 // No Comments » // Uncategorized

I took a look at this and the feature will be great on a widescreen monitor but for those of us still using the old 4:3 ration monitors, not so much.  The setting can be tweaked a bit, but on my 17", 1024×768, it was just a mess.  For now I’ll just have to wait to get the widescreens, but the Gmail team just never stops.  One thing they have done that I truly love are the new buttons.  The look is much nicer, in fact I would love to have navigation like that on my own web site.  Also the functionality of the buttons is much easier too.

Help and HowTo Website for the Geeks and nonGeeks

A good friend of mine recently redid his website design and it looks awesome. He has been giving people tech advice for a LOOONG time and is really good about boiling it down to “this is what is wrong, these are the thing you are able to do, here’s what I would do”. He reads alot of technology news to try and stay up to date. I also know he is an Leo Laporte junkie and listens to TWiT and Leo’s radio show on KFI (San Francisco) religously.

Any freeware he finds in his experiences, or hears on TWiT/KFI, or learns from a friend – he will usually mirror on his website and explain what the actual software does.

He’s also an amateur photographer (meaning he doesn’t get paid for his work) and has alot of brilliant shots posted on Picasa.

Look him up, I’m sure I’ll probably have him write a few articles here and maybe even contribute regularly.
