Well more than an how-to, this is a request for an how-to, assuming someone figured it out, and/or it’s even possible.
In a nutshell — I haven’t upgraded to Skype4 yet. Because of the annoying (and useless) huge window that the skype main screen has become 
There is a workaround out there, with a tip suggesting how to get the conversation window out of the main screen, and then minimize (!) the main screen, but that doesn’t really solve the problem.
See for yourself what you get in terms of eaten up screen estate by upgrading from skype 3 to skype 4… if anyone knows how to get this huge blue thing off that would surely be of help 
Skype 3 main screen. Nice and lean.
Skype 4 Main Screen - total waste of space.

Since I recently switched to Firefox I’m going to write-up a few short articles about my experience so far, and how I got it to become a great time saving and getting-things-done tool.
Just a little heads up here before we start — I don’t make any guarantee that by reading and/or implementing what here you’ll better enjoy Firefox, or you’ll find yourself actually saving time. This worked for me, though as with anything I do it’s in a bit in a constant state of evolution and adaptation. Oh, and needless to say, what below are my own personal opinions which you might or might not agree with.
First off, why did I switch from Internet Explorer to Firefox? Because driven by a very specific need: getting my Google Bookmarks under control.
I’ve been using Google Bookmarks as an easy and straightforward way to have my IE Favorites available anywhere, in conjunction with the Google Toolbar / Notebook. Trouble started when I realized I had 900+ items in my Favorites, and ending up hardly ever looking at them, I though “OK let’s do some spring cleaning now”.
Unfortunately, at least at the time of this writing, managing bookmarks online through http://www.google.com/bookmarks is quite a nightmare especially for mass-modifications. Same applies when trying to manage them through the Google toolbar’s “bookmarks” button.

Here a little tidbit I discovered a while ago but never got around putting up here. Scenario:
- you have Exchange Server 2003 SP2 installed and properly configured
- you’d like to get devices supporting activesync push (most windows mobile 5 pocket pcs and smartphones) to be always up-to-date with the server through the use of this technology
Exchange ActiveSync uses port 80 to communicate with the clients, so as far as your firewall allows inbound and outboud HTTP traffic to your exchange server, connectivity-wise you should be all set.
Despite all your attempts, the mobile clients either time out or bring up a variety of interesting and often deceiving errors.
took quite a while to figure this out, and since couldn’t find any solutions out there already, I figure to share my finding here.
This howto assumes that:
- you have a Yahoo! Publisher network (YPN) account (https://publisher.yahoo.com/)
- you have a vbulletin (http://www.vbulletin.com/) powered forum / online commmunity
- you want to monetize a bit over the RSS feed functionality provided by vbulletin.
You sure tried to get the google adsense for feeds, but though luck, the beta was already full — so you turned to YPN and figured to try there. You also happen to have vbulletin 3.6.x.
