@JonathansToolBarAndGrill: Great comment, thanks. But I'm pretty sure SyncBack free does work under Vista; yes, the homepage corroborates my story. Agreed on JDiskReport; well, I prefer WinDirStat, but I included JDiskReport in my original tutorial on drive usage visualization. I'm not crazy about the "J" part. Read more

@alexander: Apology accepted. Yes, that does suck. Right there with you. Read more

@alexander: Come now. The hero's journey is that of redemption. Everyone's got their vice, whether it's weight, debt, insert-modern-problem here. It's great that debt isn't a problem for you (it's not one for me, either, coincidentally) but that doesn't mean you can't appreciate someone in a bind, setting a goal to… Read more

Whoah, this is awesome. I love how the Gmail team uses Greasemonkey scripts to help them grow their product! :) Read more

@phrakture: Worth repeating (see second graf of the post): "Stalking is serious business. When we say 'stalk,' we're exaggerating, not recommending." Read more

@Mike Tuttle: whoops, all fixed. Thanks! :) Read more

@cv: Absolutely agreed. One of the best things I did this year was sign up for a weekly deliveries from my local CSA. Not only did it cut down grocery store visits and get me to eat more fruits and veggies, it exposed me to things I'd never eaten before, like persimmons, kale, turnips, and stuff I'd rarely buy… Read more

@stasnikiforov: Post a link to your scripts here and I'll check 'em out, thanks! Read more

@lilparker780: Do you know when this will have all the features of the original Better Gmail? Read more

FolderShare is great, especially for remote syncs over the internet, but FolderShare's overkill for syncing files to a USB drive or the living room PC on the same network. You do have to press the Run button to make SyncToy go. Read more

@jaf: For the life of me, I can't reproduce the Contacts bug. Would you (or anyone else willing to help out) be willing to create a fresh new Firefox profile and install Better Gmail 2 ONLY to test and see if if happens then? Read more
