Danes Czeched-out
Czech Republic 3 - 0 Denmark
I wish I'd bothered to look for a betting station earlier today - the odds were 1.78 in favor of a Czech win. The Czechs really booked their place in the semis in style, beating the Danes by the most solid margin of all the semifinalists.
And what a sweet chip from Milan Baros.

Gmail Notifier extension for Firefox
Doron has written a Gmail Notifier extension for Firefox. It adds a button to your toolbar that displays the number of unread emails you have in your Gmail account. Like how I have 0 new emails (I'm a lonely, lonely guy) in the screenshot below.
Neat work, and this is still early stages for Gmail Notifier. Doron has promised Gmail/Mozilla integration and this (Gmail Notifier) seems to be part of that exciting project. Check back with Doron for more later - this should lead to something really neat.

Sending to yourname+label@gmail.com labels your email
Danyel Fisher pointed out this cool Gmail tip.
Note that you can get around the label issue by forwarding messages to “myname+label”, and then searching for “+label”.
(Gmail allows you unlimited “+” addresses. For example, all my mail that’s forwarded from an external account goes to mygmailname+forward@gmail.com)
Aforementioned "label issue" being the issue with gExodus 0.2's new label feature which prefixes a user-specified string to the subject of each forwarded email. If I'd known that earlier... Nah it was good practice. It actually forced me to figure out how to modify an existing email's headers.

Gmail invites - so hard to give away
When I last gave out a Gmail invite, I had to squeeze out 1 for my dear blog readers (actually, when I got more invites, I gave another one to Joshua too). Now it seems that even 2 invites are so hard to give away.
It seems that the Gmail craze is finally dying down. Well, at least in the blog circles. Gmail's on almost every blog and almost every blogger has one (either through an account at Blogger or through viral means). Colleagues at work have Gmail. Friends don't see the need for Gmail. I'm actually having a hard time thinking of people who could use an invite. So from now on I'm giving away invites on my blog to readers. I'm not giving them to just anyone who searched for "Gmail invite" on Google and popped over. I happen to be listed on the first page of search results on Google for "Gmail invite" at this moment, and that has surpassed my usual high-ranking search terms of "bittornado", "uxtheme.dll", and "hotmail thunderbird" within 3 days - 1466 visitors via that search phrase.
I was looking down the list of people who posted in response to my entry asking my readers to show themselves, looking for people to give away the invites to, but I wasn't sure who wanted them. If you posted before and want an invite, let me know.
