"Vimium" adds vi-like key mappings to Google Chrome browser: http://bit.ly/9K14IQ

You can change your mappings in Extensions > Vimium > Advanced Options > Key mappings. 

Here are key mappings that I find useful:

map b scrollFullPageUp

map m previousTab
map , nextTab

/* Thunderbird 3 user interface tweaks
 * ===================================
 *
 * These changes improve Thunderbird's behavior on smaller screens. You should
 * add these to your Thunderbird profile's "chrome/userChrome.css" file. You
 * will probably need to create a directory and file.

Stop spammers from broadcasting to your Google Groups
=====================================================
 
Is your Google Groups mailing list broadcasting messages from spammers?
If so, it makes your group look bad, annoys subscribers, pollutes the
archives, and hurts your community.

Thankfully, you can easily stop these spam broadcasts. By changing your
group settings, administrators will be able to see the first posts made
by new members and decide whether to allow them before they're broadcast

Is the ExtUtils::Installed in Perl 5.10 broken?

I need to be able to query an installed CPAN package and find out what files it
contains. I had code that worked fine with Perl 5.8, but it doesn't work with

# From shell, install a silly package:
cpan Acme::please
 
# From Perl, get the lists of file in this package:

Earlier this weekend, I realized that I may have become part of a dangerous
cult after having the following conversation at the foodcarts:
> Me: "We don't know those people. Should we indoctrinate them?" 
> Audrey: "Yes! I have more fliers."
