Damian Gajda broke my Gmail.

Label hiding is my favorite new feature, since it saves me from having to look through labels I rarely use. If I ever need to reach any of my old labels, I just click the “more” link.

I hate it. I create labels for things I regularly want to look at. If a label is rarely used, it’s pointless and I don’t create it. The search is a much better way of finding those sorts of things.

All of these changes also mean the end of Right-side Labels [...] Now that labels aren’t in their own little box and take up much less space, moving them around the screen didn’t seem as important. We realize quite a few of you used and liked Right-side Labels, so if you feel strapped for left nav screen real estate without it, try turning on Right-side Chat in Labs instead.

I don’t use Google Chat, because nobody I know uses Google Chat. It’s completely useless to me. If you want to save me some space, let me switch off Google Chat altogether.

I like labels taking up space. I like labels taking up space because being able to see my labels is useful to me. Hiding them or having them trail off the screen is not useful.

I also liked being able to see my calendar. Which you don’t let me put on the right, and which I now can’t see unless I scroll right down the page past the standard folders, past my labels, past a stupid little pop-up menu I don’t have any use for because all my labels have been set to show.

That screenshot at the top? A big fat block of empty white space. My browser was only set to 1280×1024 for that screenshot. The message list does fill the space, but there’s really no need: none of the subject headers currently displayed in All Mail occupy more than half of it even in this small browser window.

Let me lay the page out how I want, not how you want.

We hope these new changes make labeling even easier and help you stay organized.

I hope you die in a chemical fire.

C P Berry Groundworks Limited are digging up the road directly under my bedroom window at 8 o’clock on a Sunday morning

C P Berry Groundworks Limited are cunts. Completely, utterly, and irredeemably.

Fuck you, C P Berry Groundworks Limited!

Included:

1. The road outside my bedroom window being dug up first thing in the morning.
2. My neighbour playing some sort of racing game so that the walls reverberate to the sound of an engine accelerating and decelerating all day. wheeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE UUUUUuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh. wheeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE UUUUUuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh. wheeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE UUUUUuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh.
3. My neighbour watching what almost sounds like but probably isn’t Dad’s Army loud enough that I keep having to turn up the telly to drown it out, even though there’s at least one room and two walls between me and whatever it is he’s watching it on.

Tomorrow: neighbours I have bludgeoned to death with items of their own Audio/Visual equipment.

1. Install Total Recorder on my laptop.
2. Find a CD player with a line–out that’s capable of playing track one of the, incidentally otherwise superb, 2046 soundtrack. Because none of mine will touch the “enhanced” hunk of plastic crap and neither will my PC.

   

3. Connect the line–out to my PC’s line–in and record the track that way, so I can have it in lovely Apple Lossless format, rather than a shitty downloaded low–quality MP3.
4. Take the CD out of the CD player, melt it down, and fashion it into some sort of spike.
5. Find out who’s in charge at EMI Music, track him down, and brutally stab him to death with it.

Must dash: busy!
