Link collections

Posted by: Jennifer In: Bookmarks

Just a few links I've been meaning to save (these are not new)

YouSendit
Email large files quickly, securely
[via Jennifer]

Collapsing margins in CSS
Something about margins behaving badly 😉 – when I have time, I need to actually read this.
[via (many places) but more recently at web-graphics]

Taskbar Sorter Utility
Ok, I'll admit it. I can be just a teency bit anal retentive. I like the programs in the taskbar to be in a certain order. Outlook first – and then programs I'm running starting from the least used/important – to the most used/imporant. Aw… leave me alone. I'm apparently not the only one who does this since someone actually wrote a utility to sort your taskbar programs! 😉
[via Kevin]

There's more – but I'm going senile, and can't find them now… grrrr…. :/
(Did someone recently blog about a new clip-art/graphics site they found?? I KNOW I saw it somewhere, but I can't remember where)

"Outlook first"

You're not serious, are you? You actually use Outlook?

Well, yes. At work, I don't really have a choice. At home, I do – what do you recommend? (and don't say gmail – I'm a little fed up with them for use as a "main" email account. They're not ready for "prime time" yet in my opinion)

Googlebot Detect and More (MSN & Yahoo bots)…he's set it up so there's a cron doing the scheduling thing (reset once monthly). Could this be fixed up so that the schedule is controlled by PHP?

As far as email clients go, I used to use Eudora (the freebie w/ads version), then recently tried Thunderbird. Which do I prefer overall? OE, yes that's right, I prefer OE ha ha.

But no WAY will I use OE again unless there's no other choice…b/c it's so easy to get infected unless you set stuff super duper strict (and could still get infected depending on MS's most recent breaches.

After OE, I guess I think Eudora and Thunderbird both have advantages and disadvantages from my point of view.

Eudora does NOT show attached images in the email; I had to open them with an external program. That's the main reason I switched to Thunderbird.

If you have smtp/imap's that require a non-standard port, go with TB. Because unless Eudora's changed their stmp setup, I had bear of a time figuring out how to change my smtp port. Then something like it applied to ALL accounts, not just the one I was editing.

TB has newsgroups. I don't think Eudora did.

I don't know why I thought you were asking for links, I was probably skipping around and came up with that on my own. Sorry.

My e-mail is in IMAP format for the current mail, and then I download my archives (to clear up server space). I have been using Thunderbird since I switched to Firefox, and I've been pretty happy with it. It's similar enough to Outlook that it wasn't a huge leap to change, and yet it doesn't have the same security holes.
