I put the following function in my PowerShell profile so that I can just bring up my PowerShell console and type myself a quick “todo” note that automatically gets emailed to me for later. There are several things of note in this tiny script: 1. Note the use of the $args variable to effectively allow the user to enter $msg parameter without quotes even if it contains whitespace. 2. In this particular example I’m sending the email through Gmail. smtp.gmail.com, port 587, SSL and authentication required....
New iPhone owners will commonly ask themselves how they can sync their Google Calendar with their iPhone calendar. Or maybe how to sync their Gmail or Google Reader items with their iPhone readers. If you do a web search you’ll find some applications that will actually do this, but don’t waste your time. You want to go to the source, straight to Google, instead of going to Joe Bob Simpleton who has written some half thought out iPhone app to sync these things. So here’s what you do: Turn on your...
I have been a long time user of FeedDemon, which I think is an excellent product. Unfortunately I do not feel the same way about NewsGator’s online reader, and its sync with FeedDemon on my desktop leaves much to be desired. In an effort to be able to read my subscriptions from anywhere, I’ve decided to make the switch to Google Reader. I tried GR a long time ago, when it first came out, and I didn’t like the interface, but they have cleaned that up. Thankfully. :) Also, I do plan to keep FeedDemon...
Over at the PowerScripting Podcast, the winners of the NetCmdlets scripting contest were announced. Meanwhile I was having some awesome vacation time in the beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Right after Google Spreadsheets came out, I got a ton of downloads from a little class library I wrote for interacting with it over HTTP. Problem is, Google didn't provide a true API - the solution was to use HTTP to manually perform the gets and posts required to manage each spreadsheet. Now its much easier thanks to RSSBus! Here is a sample Google spreadsheet, it looks like this: A B C D 1 Name Hours Items IPM 2 Bingley 10 2 0.0033 3 Captain Carter 200 75360 6.28 4 Dawson 200 100000 8.3333 5 Colonel...
I just noticed that in Gmail, if you receive an email that contains something like: "meet here at 5:00." or "Coffee tonight!" Google will add a sidebar link to add such events to your Google Calendar. This will be pretty handy. Technorati tags: gmail calendar
What's New in Gmail? Lots! One of the features I (and lots of others apparently) requested is the ability to customize the FROM address used when I send email from my gmail inbox. This really expands the power of gmail, and allows me to use it to manage email from all of my domains. Now I have configured all of my incoming mail in all of my personally owned domains to forward to my gmail account. I have defined gmail filters there to label and archive these incoming messages into different labels...
