60GB Apple iPod with Video

Thursday 19th January, 2006 Leave a Comment

I bought myself an iPod for Christmas, 5th generation 60GB iPod with Video – black. It’s very nice, smaller and lighter than my wife’s 40GB 3rd generation iPod.

Thunderbird Minimize To Tray extension

Tuesday 17th January, 2006 Leave a Comment

I just found an updated version of the MinimizeToTray extension for Mozilla Thunderbird that works with v1.5.
