Gmail attachment cleanup. Cleanup large gmail letters

Even though Gmail gives you quite a lot of storage, for years I have developed a habit to clean up the trash. It just feels right.

Type in "size:20000000" for filtering mails with attachments >20MB. Seach query is in bytes, filter by any size limit you want. "size:5000000" for emails with larger then 5MB attachments.

Once you find the monstrous mails - you can either delete it all or just one of the messages. If you open the conversation - large messages are always expanded. This is just great if you have some development material which is out of date, but you would still like to save the conversation for later. Just select "Delete this message" from message tools.

Gliding season 2008

The whole season of 2008 can be rendered into this movie of my friends. nJoy!

Life v 1.1

Im a glider pilot now. Wohooooo. Yesterday received the Glider Pilot license from CAA.
Next week im going to Italy, wgc2008, im going as a crew member, but maybe some day you'll see me in the grid as a pilot :)
To get the license was much easier then pass Oracle exams, someday i'll post my Oracle license in a post Life v 1.2.

Lost and Found

Haven't been in funeral for more than 18 years. Just successfully no one that i know died. But today i said goodbye to my ex-coworker. I young man just had a heart attack, and thats it. I was looking at him, he was like alive, his lips where smiling. He left two boys and loving wife.
When people push themselves to risk on daily basis - its not so shocking to read in newspaper that some speed junkie, hill climber, sky diver or test pilot died. But this time, i was looking at man, to whom i spoke a week ago. He was just a good father, how risky can that be? Of course, you can say thats life, well it is!
When someone close dies, it takes away your time you spent doing something together. That feels empty. And today i feel empty too. Rest happily dear friend.

Oil change

Yo! Did an oil change today. Have you seen IT administrator doing that? Oh, what the hell, its an adventure. There is a show on Discovery - a man tries to find tough jobs and try them out. Ok. Very funny retardation. If you are normal human, you can do any job like being a soldier, builder, maker, drawer, constructor, designer, stunt man. Well you do need some knowledge, but these jobs are intuitive. Hey man, try to be a scientist, surgeon or at least an IT admin (doh). There are jobs that can be made only by trained human beings that spent 10-30 years trying to understand how stuff works.
Anyways, missed my point. So i did an oil change, hurray, one more happy milestone towards becoming a decent man. What would be the tips for the future? Well.. 1) use a bigger funnel, first flow of motor oil will need at least 2-3 cm of pipe 2) prepare more light sources 3) don't use good shoes, this rule is common to all the garage work 4) think of some tool to remove an oil filter, this time few holes and a screw driver did the job 5) get some beer with you ;) burp.
And remembering to "The Earth" theme - i went to a gas station and put used oil to special containers they have for this purpose.

The Dude goes outer Space

So, my dear readers - i'm going to Netherlands. It's a road trip, looking forward to it. But.. ..twisted my tarsus joint. Anyway, nothing can stop me from the trip. No weed and space cakes this time, i promise.
Todays bass theme.. ..it's easy but a nice one: Pulp - Babies. Check the video on YouTube.
Offise space trends. Oracle E-Business Suite 12 is up and running. I'll leave the newborn for a week, if its still alive after that period - then it'll survive ;)
Database 11g still fucked up. I havent written about that problem, anyways - someday. Many internal ORA-7445 errors a few times in an hour. Support can't do anything about it for more than two weeks.

International measurements

How many pubs there are in a mile?
How many pubs there are in a kilometer?
I often have to translate in my head ft, m, km/h, kt, NM, SM and others. Why do americans and brits have more pubs in their default distance mesure unit? I suggest to unify both systems and not to allow to be more than lets say 10 pubs in a mile, and the same in old continent and all other developed continents - 10 pubs per kilometer.
"Lets go to the Pub" - now you dont care where are you: UK, US or Europe (or other developed continents). I need a drink... where is the SPACE BAR?

Stick to the manual, you Life!

I hate it when life doesn't follow the manuals. Just broke the brakes of my HC :( Lets go get a drink and forget it. Well of course it's worse to have a tumor, but i really hate, when o broke something trying to repair.

Daily geekshow

Two things for today.
Number one: there is a girl. She works at the stake house i'm having lunch almost every day. After a few times, she remembered me and now, when i come in, she dissapears in the kichen, and comes back with my order. They are having different menu each day for lunch. I don't have to order anymore. It's a good feeling. But now, i'm very interested what she is thinking inside. It's not, that i'm interested in her, i'm just curious. It would be cool that she had The Sims mode or something :) but that's a very very very naughty geeky thought i have. She is a smart girl. But she never smiles. What is she thinking? Leave a message if you are one of those girls.
Number two: just finished Linux/Oracle server crash/recovery simulation. The whole process took 40 minutes, and server is up and running. Wohoo. I'm proud of myself. It's not one of those microsoft days.
Number three: yes, i said there are just two things for today, but i just got reservation at barber. Finally i'll get a haircut. Was waiting for this glory moment for about three months.

Free launcher

The knowledge that is not given further is worthless - that would be my first message. Anyways, here starts the new blog, we'll see how it goes.
The purpose of this blog is to share some daily knowledge, that attacks me. Some random thoughts will be posted too. It's a must from time to time to Alt+Tab your work and have a blog (it's like a cup of tee).
You'll find in this blog some crap like this post, some solutions of specific IT problems, some plsql code, some stolen images etc.
And today is going to be a good day. I hope to amaze someone, by playing some samples with a bass guitar. Nobody knew i play. I never did either.
