Too cute!

I’ve been using Google’s GMail for a long time, and it’s become my primary mail client for both work and home. One of the things I got tired of was clicking a ‘mailto:’ link somewhere on a web page and having Outlook open up. I finally got annoyed enough to do some searching, and found this nifty little program called gAttach!.

It’s a small application that installs itself as the system mail handler. When a ‘mailto:’ link is clicked, it launches, logs into GMail (or optionally assumes that you already are), and creates an entry in your Drafts folder with the email address, and, if present in the ‘mailto:’ link, the subject.

It’s not quite *exactly* what I want, as I would prefer that focus then be switched to the browser and GMail tab, with the cursor positioned so I can start typing in the body. This may not be possible, I don’t know.

But in any case, it’s far better than launching an un-configured version of Microsoft Abortion. Er, I mean, Outlook.

According to one of the comments:

This was a publicity stunt for Leb Heir hydraulics, showing the strength of their retrofitted system.

The tower was made for it, as was the quick connect where the bucket is, there was also another quick connect on the body of the excavator that allowed it to anchor to the tower.

I can only conclude that the driver must be totally bats**t whacko.

The other day I had an urge to buy bananas.  I enjoy them, but rarely buy them, since they often end up going bad before I get around to eating them.  This is mostly because I forget they are there.

But the other day I gave in to my urge, probably because I went grocery shopping while I was hungry (which is never a good idea).

Naturally, the bananas started going bad.  Then I had an epiphany.  “I should make banana bread!” I said to myself.

So I did, with this recipe.

The bread turned out most excellent, in spite of sticking slightly to the non-stick pan.

If you’re looking for a banana bread recipe, I highly recommend this one.
