I have a number of O'Reilly books, and none of them have that, at least in the ePub or PDF. It is not a bad idea though.

Yeah that was a mistake. He should have said TEN average 25 year olds.

You're pretty much right. Do a google search for "Visual Fred", a name given to VB.NET by MS MVPs.

...they have a Squirrel Girl movie.

It's just the next Wave of features from their Labs.

No! Especially if this is GMail we're talking about, *archive* and not delete. Delete should mean GONE (with a 7- or 30-day safety window, for example).

- I do agree with the second point. Delete if you've read it, do not need to act on it - but keep it if you thing you might possibly need to refer to it someday. Archive it.
- Avoid leaving things in your inbox. Do it, defer it, or delegate it. If you defer, set a calendar event or a todo item (that links to the email message if possible) and get it out of your inbox.

Keep your inbox like your physical mailbox. You don't leave stuff like bills in your mailbox until you are ready to take care of them, right?

Basically it boils down to: don't use your inbox as your task list! Otherwise, your process list is all backwards. Whatever comes in most recently into your inbox seems to take the highest priority, and it shouldn't be that way. Use a proper task list or calendar for stuff you need to take care of.

It is a bit of work to do this, but keeping organized is not automatic, it takes some discipline.

Exactly, the key is "inbox zero". People who leave messages in their inbox are just putting the issue off and causing their own "hell".

Are you profiling? Let's not propagate that canard.

1) Climb off high horse
2) Read review

From my understanding, 5MB is the default, and if it grows the user is prompted to allow the increase. That may be just for databases though, I haven't personally tested it.
