I was searching for a way to modify the Gmail Notifier code to suit my needs, and my search has brought me over to Jamie Matthew’s site wherein he really re-engineered the Gmail notifier.

I’m Starting To Like Windows Vista!

July 18, 2008 · Filed Under Microsoft, Technology, Windows Vista · Comment 

Windows XP was serving my computing needs fairly well and I have no complaints regarding it’s performance. Even with the availability of Windows Vista, Windows XP remains the standard Operating System being used in our corporate machines (even for newly rolled-out Dell computers).

I have just tried this feature but it seems that the Gmail server that we are connecting into isn’t upgraded yet. Nevertheless, this is a very useful plugin for those who constantly forget to log-out their Gmail account.
