And it just hit me too. I'll be taking my buisiness somewhere else now, and not looking forward to resolving this. Bah!

Gmail Notifier 0.4 Released

Get it while its fresh!

- Now uses a JavaScript XPCOM component. This means that all windows are now in sync.
- [REQUEST] Option to reset counter to 0 when opening Gmail using the notifier.
- [REQUEST] Opening Gmail in new tab option now focuses the new tab.

No idea how long it will take to make it to update.mozilla.org though.

*UPDATE*
Updating to 0.4 using the Sotware Update feature in Firefox has been fixed, the update rdf file was corrupted and now fixed.

The Autocomplete Revolution?

DHTML autocompletion got a wide spread boost by Google's new beta of Google Suggest. Yahoo Mail today also sent an email about it adding autocompletion to its webmail program - and it works in Gecko!

Natrually neither are revolutionary - this has been done before. I believe AOL's webmail has done that for ages (been 2 years since I had an AOL account, and they don't give free accounts to laid off contractors :), and I even once did that for AOL's custom bugzilla.

I laugh at reading the slashdot articles with people wondering how it could be done in JavaScript and so fast. I'm sure most web developers would ask the same, which is a shame. Props to Google for doing this the right way and cleanly.

The browser is a platform, remember! Not just for porn and table layouts.

Another GMail Notifier Beta Call

Gmail Notifier 0.4 Beta (0.3.20).

The last issue people are reporting is the system notification the notifier uses on Windows doesn't work for some. If you install and enable the notifications (right click on the gmail icon and choose preferences to enable) and see problems, please go to the preferences panel and click on the Debug Console button and post that output here.

Thanks!
