public service announcement: how to make the new gmail less horrible 1. click the flower icon in the top right, click "compact" 2. click it again, click "themes", click "high contrast" 3. on this same page, find the "general" tab, click it, find "button labels", set to "text" it still doesn't have any color, because the google designers are loving *allergic* to color unless it's bright obnoxious RED, but with these settings it's at least vaguely usable for reading email also, you can click the iChat icon in the bottom left to turn off the "gmail chat" that nobody in the entire world uses or cares about

I'm so loving glad I have apple everything. Had no idea there was a new gmail interface until my wife started bitching (no she's not a goon) Ps inverse Icarus you need to put out more your wife has major hysteria like I can tell all the way across the Internet

Richard O'Keefe is objectively awesome. Guy owns at CS and PLs, wrote about Prolog, stick around Erlang, knows a billion programming languages, and has a PhD in underwater acoustics or something. He also gave me my best/harshest criticism on LYSE: quote:I've taken a brief look at it. I'm currently somewhat feverish, so detailed comments are out until I'm better. On thing hit me in the face, however, "Learn You Some Erlang" is really horrible. Idiomatic English would not have "You" there. It just looks so unprofessional. Seeing that, you DON'T expect quality writing. (I don't say that the writing isn't quality writing, just that the title leads one not to expect it to be.) And "Learn You Some Erlang for Great Good" is almost unbearably twee. See that, and you THINK (surely mistakenly!) "this site is as flaky as mica". The other thing I notice on the home page is - a bearded squid - with only EIGHT tentacles instead of TEN (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_tentacles_does_the_squid_have) I wanted to put some of these comments on the back of the printed book.

Curse you people! when people say 'good user interface is invisible', they don't mean 'click on whitespace and hope for the best', nor 'replace text with arbitrary icons'. them's bad things. the gmail redesign is arguably a rebranding to bring it in line with the g+ aesthetic.

His prolog book is one of the best, "Hacking your program is no substitute for understanding your problem. Prolog is different, but not that different. Elegance is not optional."

I'm actually liking thunderbird so far. The conversation add-ons and mail folding options make it okay, although it just eats so much memory.
