Do more with GMail storage with the GSpace Firefox addon
I've used GMail Drive for quite a while - it's a handy way to back up files into my unused GMail storage. The GSpace addon for Firefox is another way to take advantage of your inbox's excess gigabytes.
Install GSpace and access it from the Firefox tools menu and you're given an FTP-style interface to transfer files. You can also switch to special modes for viewing your photos or listening to music that you've uploaded. Multiple GMail accounts are supported, though you have to switch between them. Being able to access them all simultaneously would be a killer feature, but it's not a serious deficiency.
You'll probably want to set up a new filter for GSpace messages. By default they show up in your inbox like the rest of your new mail. All it takes is filtering subjects for GSPACE and telling GMail to skip the inbox (archive). Doing this won't affect how the files display in GSpace.
Don't fret if the if the installer reports the addon's size incorrectly while downloading - it showed 4gb on my system, but the actual file is only about 200k. Sure, there's a banner ad displayed at the bottom, but AdBlock can take care of that if it really bothers you.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
