the trick is to keep breathing

Ya. It's fucking politics. I'm actually un-f-locking what is left of my journal. My ex-husband is a cro-magnon and it's been a year since I left him, if he wanted to track me down he would have already.

Alright, prepare yourself for some serious Google-fu

1. First off, you need Firefox. If you are still on IE you fail.

2. Install the extension called Greasemonkey. I also suggest you go check out some scripts that go with Greasemonkey that are unrelated to gmail (like Addblock, which I use to make the internets my bitch and not annoy me)

3. Go get the code better gmail. It also has other cool things, but it's reader is cooler than just the extension on its own.

4. Go subscribe your f-list to google reader Or just subscribe a few, like I do (because I am like that). If you fiddle you may even be able to subscribe to specific filters. Play around.

Sounds complicated, but once its set up, it's full of wonderful. I RSS like its my job (though, ironically, half of my feeds ARE job related).

The only catch is that things under f-lock do not work. BUT it's a great way to keep up with comms and people that don't feel the need to hide all the time.
