Avoid looking like a spammer on Gmail

Gmail sending limits to prevent spam
Gmail users should take note that Google will disable accounts (for about 24 hours) if you send an e-mail to more than 500 recipients via the web interface, or 100 recipients via POP/IMAP. Also, if you send e-mail to too many undeliverable addresses, prepare to face the Google hammer.

Gmail takes these measures in an attempt to keep spammers off of their system. Sending bulk e-mail or sending to many addresses that don't accept your e-mail are telltale signs of spamming activity.

If you need to communicate with the same set of people often, Google recommends using their Google Groups service to create discussions, webpages, and even share files. If you run a server, you could utilize a listserver (so you can send an e-mail to one e-mail address to make Gmail happy, and then the listserver would send the message to all the members of that listserver).

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

CiviballsI have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
