Find all unread messages in your Gmail inbox and mark them as read

Simply search for "is:unread" without the quotes. Click on "All" next to "Select:" next click "Select all conversations that match this search" if you have more than 20. Finally select "More action" and "Mark as read".

There you go. If you are like me and you let thousands of emails pile up but you don't want to delete them, here is your solution!

iPod Touch 32GB

So I got a sexy new iPod Touch 32GB from Santa. I jail broke it using blackra1n right out of the box and am still tinkering with things. For now I need to re-run blackra1n.exe if the device ever runs out of battery and turns of. Apparently the blackra1n team are working on this however. This is due to the fact that it is a 3rd generation ipod touch.

Happy New Year! Seeing 2010 everywhere still seems strange. I feel like I am in the future.

TweetDeck

I still don't quite get why twitter is so popular. What happened to msn and irc? I tried some linux Twitter clients. Twitux and Gwibber. TweetDeck is in another league. It looks good, it uses Adobe AIR which I don't know a great deal about but I will certainly read up about it. You can organise tweets into groups and they are displayed in columns. I guess this is old news to anyone who uses twitter a lot or tweets a lot. The recommends column is useful for people like myself who are new to twitter. It has a nice spell checker which I really need. WordPress has one also. :)

Here is a screenshot.

Bing for a few weeks

I have been meaning to give bing a proper try since it was launched a few months ago. I have now set it as Firefox's default Home Page and won't change it for at least a week or two. I can't really say why I like using google so much. I just seem to be able to find what I'm looking for instantly with it. I could never use live comfortably either because it just didn't feel right. Hopefully I will know after I try bing. I have added bing to the firefox search bar so I'm not tempted to use google at all. To Google it or to bing it? That is the question. I will post a follow-up to this in a week or so!
