50 tips, tweaks and hacks for Google Calendar!

My two favorites from the list are as follows:

16) Facebook Integration: If you’re a fan of the social networking program Facebook you’ll love this script. It allows you to easily transfer your Facebook events to your Google Calendar so you’ll never miss a get together.
25) Better GCal: This script combines several helpful scripts including skins, collapsed headers, secure connections, text wrap and more.

Enjoy!

This looks to be a pretty solid list full of useful sites and really good people. I’m pretty flattered to be included in a list full of this much awesome!

If you’re a game developer and you deal with art production and outsourcing, come on by and check us out! If you can’t make it, drop me a line and we can meet for beers somewhere after. :)

Germany, here I come!

In a nutshell, this lets you turn a tab into a smaller, space-saving semi-permanent tab for tabs you always have open. See this:

For example, I always have Gmail, Google Voice and Google Calendar open. Ordinarily they take up a lot of real estate on my tab bar. I turned them into App Tabs with a simple right-click, and now they’re permanent fixtures on my tab bar without cluttering up the other tabs I have open.

It sounds like a pretty small feature, but it’s improved my Firefox experience dramatically. I’d suggest giving it a shot if you keep certain tabs open all the time and are sick of accidentally closing them. :)

Have fun!

Myself and MANY other game developers (50+) have been approached by them. We’ve asked who they are and what they want and they don’t respond, and they’re adding absolutely ridiculous amounts of people all at once. They don’t show up on Google or MobyGames, no one I know has any idea who they are, and their only Facebook activity is adding game industry people I know to their friends list. VERY VERY suspicious.

Defriend them on Facebook and spread the word. This type of behavior shall not stand.

Essentially, this web tool will draw an overlay map of your website marking the different resolution boundaries and showing you how likely people at different resolutions are to be able to see different parts of your website. Some people with low resolutions won’t scroll down to view the site. Here’s a quote from that page showing why this is important:

Using this visualization, Bruno confirmed that about 10% of users couldn’t see the download button without scrolling, and thus never noticed it. 10% may not sound like a lot, but in this context it turns out to mean a significant number of people weren’t downloading Google Earth. Using this data, the team was able to redesign the page to good effect.

This would be a great tool for artists to check the usability of their website at different resolutions and to get ideas on how to tweak the design for better results. What if potential employers simply don’t see all of your art or scroll to view all the content? Google Browser Size could be a great tool for analyzing that. Go check it out!

I’ll explain what TweetDeck is. It’s a full-featured, well-designed and easy to use Twitter client that has support for not only Twitter but also Facebook, MySpace and now LinkedIn as well. It provides a customizable multi-column view with many configuration options and special filters. You can customize which types of notices it shows you, such as Status, Q&A, Connections, Profile updates, Recommendations, Group joinings, and Application installs.

It’s becoming flexible enough that even if you hate Twitter, you can simply not use Twitter at all and instead use TweetDeck as simply a nearly-live news ticker of information from ONLY LinkedIn. It can be a tremendously useful business intelligence tool. :)

Here’s a screenshot of the TweetDeck interface: http://assets.tweetdeck.com/splashes/frontpage.png

To give you an example of how it can be used, I use TweetDeck for both Twitter and LinkedIn. I’ve set up several different columns with various filters:

• One for my full Twitter feed (~400 people)
• One to collect all replies to my tweets
• One for all my private messages
• One for all the Twitter news sites I follow
• One for my close friends
• One for LinkedIn

In other words, the whole world at my fingertips! bwahah!

TweetDeck is available for PC, Mac, and the iPhone, and your custom columns \ filters \ etc are synced to the server so they’re the same on every device you use it on, which is slick. :) You can download it here: http://www.tweetdeck.com

Enjoy!
