Thunderbird email client integrated with Gmail
GCALDaemon lets Thunderbird pull its contacts "live" from Gmail.
See: <http://gcaldaemon.sourceforge.net/usage12.html>
and: <http://gcaldaemon.sourceforge.net/usage4.html>
and: <http://gcaldaemon.sourceforge.net/lingon.html>
Requires a bit of thought to get the Terminal commands right when setting it up, but seems to work well once installed and set up.

Your Thunderbird folders will map to your Gmail tags.
Not for off-line access, i.e., you need to have a 'net connection at the time your doing your thing in Thunderbird

Volvo repairs at Don Beyer Volvo, Falls Church, VA
2008_01_24 (Thursday) - in to work early to drop off car, again. Dropped off car and showed Chris Prevatt the sound that comes from the steering column during low speed, full lock turns. He said it is likely that the steering column rubber boot needs lubricant. Picked up car later in the day, with everything apparently having been fixed (finally).
2008_01_21 (Monday) - Chris Prevatt called to say part had come in.
2008_01_15 (Tuesday) - Chris Prevatt called to say that part did not come in with the morning parts shipment, but it might arrive in the afternoon parts shipment. Later in the day, he called to say that the part did not come in with the afternoon shipment, and that it was expected to come into New Jersey on January 21st. Interestingly, he mentioned that they would "put that regulator on there" even though the part is supposedly a fuel tank sending unit.
2008_01_11 (Friday) - took the Ford Taurus loaner car home (front tire seriously low on air)

More on reauthoring DVD's - multiple shows
Some DVD's have two, three or more short movies. Toast's "main feature" selection won't work with those.
For such discs:
Rip the DVD to the hard disc using Mac the Ripper (Mac OS X)
View the file properties for the VOB files in the finder to see which ones are biggest.
In Toast, choose the 'Video' tab, and then the 'DVD-Video' radio button. Check the boxes for 'auto play disc on insert' and 'play items continuously'. In Toast's main window, add the VOB files you want.
Note about audio - the VOB files should have the audio track embedded in them. In Toast's main window, select one of the VOB files and then click the 'edit' button - you should see file details about the VOB file, including whether it has any audio.

Making DVD's play automatically
Many of the DVD's we play in the car have all kinds of junk at the beginning, which means always clicking through menus and skipping sections of the DVD. Re-burn the DVD without all that junk:
DVD rip with MactheRipper
In Toast 7 Titanium, choose the "Video" tab at the top, then choose the "DVD-video from VIDEO_TS" radio button.
Locate the folder containing the ripped DVD and select in Toast ("read from"). Click on "copy options" in Toast and select: "Main Movie Only" from Video drop down; "Primary only" from Audio drop down; uncheck any languages other than English.
Burn DVD.
