Gmail automatic “mark (spam) as read”
I hate having unread mail. I hate having spam. And most of all, I hate spam that asks for attention.

Ventrilo 2.1, Vista, and Surround 5.1
Helene’s new Vista pc seemed to be working fine, except for Ventrilo 2.1 (the free and, well, illegal version). It managed to connect, but no sound was coming out of it.

Rsync backups
My own simple rsync backup ‘script’. You’ll need a rsync server, something to backup, and ssh-agent running to ease the process (or, fill in your password each time).
