mailboxalert 0.10

At last! A new version of Mailbox Alert! See the Changelog for more information. Or, if you’re in a hurry, you can download it directly. The new version will be uploaded to http://addons.mozilla.org shortly, but confirmation usually takes a few weeks. If you want it now, download it from my site.

Mailbox Alert for OSX

I have had reports that Mailbox Alert’s ‘show a message’ option produces an error when using it on mac OSX. Apparently this part of the Thunderbird/XPCOM library is disabled for OSX at the moment. Users are adviced to use Growl for showing alerts.

gwallscript

Got something like munin or mrtg, with regularly updated graphs on a webpage somewhere? Want them in your gnome background, while working nicely with nautilus icons, and still visible through your transparent terminals? Get gwallscript!

mailboxalert 0.9

New version of Mailbox Alert! There have been a lot of changes in the internals, it is queue-based now, you only get one alert when there are multiple new messages in a folder. You can also specify complete accounts, and some bugs have been fixed. See the complete Changelog for more information. Or, if you’re in a hurry, you can download it directly. Since Mailbox Alert is on addons.mozilla.org, the automatic update will from now on check there, and not my site.

randommp3

My ipod broke down yesterday, so i’m forced to use my old 256 mb mp3 player, and i did not want to spend any time compiling a music collection for such a small device, so i threw together a small perl script that randomly chooses up to X megabytes of mp3 from a directory tree containing mp3 files. You can get it from my Small Stuff page.
