I just got an email with about 40 inlined images (not attachments) and noticed Gmail doesn’t have an option to save them all locally! If the images were attachments Gmail has a very nice Download All option where you get a zip file of everything, but no such option exists for inline images. Apparently Yahoo! [...]

Ctrl+Shift+P to Print Selection in Google Chrome
December 1st, 2011 
justinEver since switching to Chrome a few years ago I’ve missed the ‘print selection’ feature where you can print just a highlighted block of text. You can choose to print only certain page numbers in Chrome, but if the piece you want spans a page break you end up with a bunch of superfluous garbage [...]
Free Up Space in Gmail: Scalpels and Chainsaws
August 12th, 2011 justinI needed to do some quick-and-dirty deleting in a Gmail account, a user managed to fill all 7613 MB with “humorous” videos and PDF files. Who is still attaching videos in this age of YouTube? Anyway for being a search company Google seems to be missing the most important search function of all in Gmail, [...]
Ninite to Save Me Untold Hours, Ulcers
April 5th, 2011 justinIt looks like Ninite has been around about two years now, wish I had known that. Basically it creates a fully automated installer for whatever free software you select on their website. Most of my favorite apps are available such as Dropbox, Chrome, Digsby, KeePass (a less full featured version, I prefer v2.x), VLC, Notepad++ and a [...]
Delete Duplicate Google Contacts From Your iPhone
March 3rd, 2011 justinSo at some point my iPhone reverted to storing contacts on the phone instead of on my Google account. You can see if some contacts are only on the iPhone by opening your contacts list, then clicking the Groups button in the top left. If you see any “stored on my phone” then they aren’t [...]
Full Text RSS Feed Builder Does What It Says (Usually)
March 2nd, 2011 justinOn my continuing Mission To Restore RSS Sanity where feeds have become variously; perfunctorily truncated, plastered with ads, embedded with comments and spammed with links, I have run into Full Text RSS Feed Builder. You plug in a website and it spits out your new full text RSS feed link. In my tests it made a decent Ars Techinca [...]
Improve Slashdot RSS: Redux
January 30th, 2011 justinWell after my first foray into Yahoo! Pipes programming I am definitely impressed. After some searching I came across a Yahoo Pipe that removed the comments, and ads for that matter, from the Slashdot RSS feed. As a bonus it added back the inline links to the feed so you don’t have to click through to [...]
Remove Comments From Slashdot RSS Feed
January 29th, 2011 justinTrying to scroll though a Slashdot RSS feed on the mobile version of Google Reader is brutal. Instead of the scrollbox of article comments you see in the full version of Reader, every comment is embedded into the feed on an iPhone. So to get to the next story you have to swipe and swipe [...]
Colorpix Saved Me :effort:
January 26th, 2011 justinWorking with some HTML earlier I needed to get the hex color off an image so I could match the background page color to it. A quick search turned up ColorPix, a tiny standalone program that shows you the hex color code for whatever your mouse hovers over. Saved me the time of trying to [...]
