For some reason, I wanted Thunderbird to run at startup, and to run in the tray. Email is just one of those programs I like to have running all the time, but I don’t want it cluttering up the taskbar. I wasn’t able to find an addon to make Thunderbird run in the tray the way I wanted, but after some searching I found AllTray which solves the problem perfectly.
I’ve written a Firefox extension which adds a Tomboy option to the right click menu. Text can be sent to a Tomboy note directly from the browser. See this link for more information: http://harrycoal.co.uk/tomfox/
It’s took me a while but I’ve switched to Ubuntu completely. This is something I thought I’d never do. Ubuntu has lots of nice features, but I’d always boot back in to Window when I wanted to get something done. The past few months I’ve been using it more and more and have decided to switch over completely.
