Firefox Add-on: Remember The Milk for Gmail

nick — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 11:15:00 +0000

I've been playing with Remember the milk for some time now, I thought with my n800 it would be really useful...BUT... Actually I've found that the firefox extension they have released has really upped my usage, as soon as I can get my tasks synced with my n800 I'll definitively be upgrading to their pro version.

I've recommended this plugin to a few friends and they love it, so if you're looking for a new personal task managment solution then this is for you!

Remember The Milk for Gmail is a Firefox extension that allows you to manage your tasks in Gmail (complete, postpone, and edit tasks), add new tasks (and connect them with your emails, contacts, and Google Calendar events), automatically add tasks for starred messages or specific labels, and much more!

My firefox page is now back online, so check it out for a list of other useful plugins/addons.

Firefox Extension - Flashblock

I'm not a great fan of flash, it seems to eat up bandwith, processor and memory very quickly.. not to mention the hassle of trying it working on a linux x86_64 machine ! I recently came across this great plug-in..

Flashblock :: Firefox Add-ons
Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on...

The white-list functionality is nice... i.e block all except "blah".. the option to run it in a black-list mode would be good for those who are only offended by flash on certain sites.

Some times the simple solutions, make the biggest difference to a user experience....

Colorful Tabs | Firefox Add-ons | Mozilla Corporation
The most beautiful yet the simplest add-on that makes a strong colorful appeal. Colors every tab in a different color and makes them easy to distinguish while beautifying the overall appearance of the interface. An essential.

UPDATE: It seems that the Colorful Tabs authors homepage is down, as a result I appear to be getting hits from google and comments about features. I'd like to stress that I have nothing to do with the development of Colorful Tabs and you have my apologies if my post appeared that way. You have stumbled across a post from my firefox recommendations category where by I post links to firefox add-ons I like have installed and recommend to my friends.

Gmail File Space Extension (gSpace)

For those who can't wait for the fabled gdrive, this is worth a look, you get like an FTP style interface to gmail within firefox, I've found it useful for quick backups.

Gmail File Space
his extension allows you to use your Gmail Space (2 GB) for file storage. It acts as a remote machine. You can transfer files between your hard drive and gmail. This is similar to "Gmail Drive" on windows platform. Your gmail account looks like a FTP host and you can upload and download your files. After you install, you get an option called "GSpace" in your "tools" menu clicking on which opens the window for transfer of folders/files. Works great for photos and music files less than 14MB.
