At my new job I’ve had the opportunity to work from home more than a few times. I really like it. However, I also really like that I’m close enough to go into the office and physically interact with people, too. It’s the best of both, I think, in that I can work in-office and at-home. There are benefits to both.
Feedback to Google on Gmail’s Message Clipping
Recently I’ve noticed some e-mail messages getting clipped off at the end in Gmail. There’s no setting to turn it off, according to this and this. Apparently there’s an extension for Chrome but that doesn’t help me much as I’m on Firefox.

So I did what the product forums suggested and sent feedback off to Google. Funny thing is, when I sent it, the form just sort of disappeared, leaving the send button hanging […]

There are instructions as to how to make 1.3.1F compatible, but running an ancient and unsupported application isn’t ideal. We didn’t want […]

A list of things I did to change workflow from old crust to new shiny. Still learning! Maybe not that awesome but the time I’m saving here is pretty neat, for real!
Backup Workflow and Scripting
Please-please-please don’t refer to anything said in here as a guide or true, unless it comes accompanying a supporting link (and even there, yeah, do your research). I’m learning this stuff and it definitely should not be taken as a how-to, tutorial, etc. If you have input and ways for me to improve what I’ve done or other suggestions, I appreciate it. Thanks!
