Colorful GMail labels

Sweet GMail labels oozing with Googly goodness.

Googly labels

Kinda reminds me of the Label Colors Greasemonkey script, done by — surprise! — a Google engineer off his 20%.

Okay, now how do I turn this thing off?

Quickie?

Not what you think.

It must be one of those days: just finished another exam — part of a winding-down (I hope) battery of fitness tests here in the workplace — and I barely passed (yay!); caught in the middle of a Debian netinst (heh, they only have the Sarge netinst ISO around here); doing a yum update (Fedora Core 3! How ancient.) on one of my boxes; and, oh, just watched X-Men III: The Last Stand (you know, I have a feeling this isn’t the last of the X-Men franchise {prolly because of that snippet of a scene at the ending? [oops! spoiler alert!]}) with my teammates — it was funny: we didn’t get to reserve seats beforehand so we took the queue and we got seats all right, a freaking column of seats (8C, 9C, 10C, you get the drift…)! — and I must say, take that, Puso ng Samar something!

Whew. Before I leave for home, here’s an interesting piece:

Just a sneaky of Fernando Escora’s work over at Hiraya Gallery.

Search by sketch

Looking for a picture but all you have is a rough sketch? Use retrievr, yet another Web 2.0 (?) (experimental)service that uses Flickr to search
pictures by making a rough sketch.

The results may not be what you expect, but they are always interesting — astonishing, even. It’s not a face-recognition thingie like (gosh! I forgot that Indian-named alpha app), and it has its limitations. I guess it makes its matches based on color and basic shapes.

Give it a whirl. [via retrievr - search by sketch]

Color my world

Found this nice tool while frantically scrounging the net for design ideas. Even if you have no background whatsoever on color theory — only gifted people raised on PromilĀ® have a firm grasp on it, anyway — you’ll appreciate how you can tweak the settings to come up with an apt color scheme for your site. There’s even an accessibility option to adjust your scheme for people with color-blindness (forgot the politically correct term, sorry). So say goodbye to guesswork and repetitive reloads — plus countless clicking on the Photoshop eyedropper tool — to see if your pages look good.
