If Dr. Seuss had a GMail account, he would probably let you know the popular web based email works great even without an internet connection by using a rhyme similar to the title of this post. Now, that Gmail’s offline feature has been finalized, it’s even easier than ever to turn it on. These instructions are taken from the already linked GMail Blog Post:

“Now, we’re happy to announce that Offline Gmail is graduating from Labs and becoming a regular part of Gmail. If you’re already using it, then you’re all set. While you’ll no longer see it on the Labs tab, you can tweak your settings and turn it on and off from the Offline tab under Settings. If you’d like to get started with Offline Gmail on your computer now, here’s how:

1. Click the “Settings” link in the top-right corner of Gmail.
2. Click the “Offline” tab.
   
3. Select “Enable Offline Mail for this computer.”
   
4. Click “Save Changes” and follow the directions from there.”
   

Here’s a screen shot of my offline settings when using Google’s Chrome browser

I find it interesting that the recent message range (amount of email to download for offline use) can be set from 4 days all the way to 5 years. Don’t be surprised if it takes a really long time to synchronize if you pick the latter.

Turn on offline GMail. Then go on a trip. Go ahead. You might end up saying something like:

“I do use offline GMail when I can. I do use offline GMail Sam I Am.”

watch the video—and if you think it's just too good to be true, try it out. They have tons of tutorials and examples of useful scripts in their documentation, as well, to get your imagination rolling. Although you've probably already thought of at least one thing you want to use this for.

Sikuli is a free download for all platforms.

Windows/Mac/Linux: Ever wanted to write a script for some repetitive task, but don't know how to code? Sikuli makes it possible for pretty much anyone to automate tasks, by telling it what to do with just some screenshots and simple commands.

If you're looking to make very complex transitions or pull precise transformations on your video, you're still better off with a more advanced suite on another platform—one of our six best video editing applications, perhaps. If you're a Linux user and looking to stitch together a small-scale video project, OpenShot is definitely worth a look.

Linux/Live CD/DVD: It's one of the five features we desperately want in Ubuntu: a video editor that the average user can stitch together simple movies with. OpenShot 1.0 is mostly there.
