So Star Trek: The Next Generation is now 20 years old (which probably makes it just a little bit last generation ...) and CBS and Simon & Schuster take this anniversary as an opportunity for releasing a couple of TNG-related books. The first one I got is Star Trek: TNG: The Sky's the Limit

New GMail feature
Wow, seems like other people wanted this feature in GMail as well. What I'm
talking about? Colored labels :D Last night Google updated its free mail
service to also let its users define the color of labels. Here you can
choose from 12 different color combinations (you can have the color in the
fore- or background) to make it easier for you to keep an overview
over your inbox.
The only downside? For now you seem to be stuck with these 12 (or actually 24) colors and can't define your own. No idea why they didn't include that in the first place but perhaps we're lucky and it will be added later on.
For more details check out the respective help page.

Google Apps for your domain?
For about a week Dreamhost's e-mail forwarding to gmail addresses was down. I don't really care who was really responsible for this (to me it seems like Google caused it) made me look around for an alternative solution for domain-related email addresses and I stumbled upon Google's domain apps.

bzr-1.0rc3 released
Seems like bzr is approaching its first major release with the release of the third release candidate for the 1.0 series today. According to the respective announcement by Martin Pool on the bazaar-mailinglist this morning, this is supposed to be the last candidate before the big milestone.
I honestly wouldn't have thought that bzr would reach the big 1.0 before Mercurial, although I guess I could have guessed so the moment they made the version jump from 0.1x.x to 0.9x.x a few months ago. Now I'm really curious to see if bzr will gain some more momentum outside of the Ubuntu world with this major release. Personally I would really love to see the integration of bzr as supported code repository by the ohloh-folks.

World, meet phpBB 3.0
After more than 5 years of development, phpBB 3.0 was finally released today at 17:00 GMT. phpBB 2.0 is one of if not the most well known and most used open source bulletin board system out there, so there was quite some anticipation for the next major release.

Barcamp about Microblogging
A different Barcamp is about to be held in April next year in Venice. The
focus here seems to be microblogging, hence the title "Twittercamp" which
will perhaps give it a totally different flair than all the Barcamps I've
attended so far. And I love the logo ;-)

Star Trek TNG: Death in Winter
Next book in my travel to Star Trek literature and again a TNG book. Death in Winter is set right after the end of Nemesis or even I guess after Trust yourself when all men doubt you, the last story in the TNG anniversary anthology The Sky's the Limit with Captain Picard trying to deal with his close friend and secret love (secret for whom isn't really the question here, I guess) transferring over to SF Medical.

Translating Custom BBCode Buttons
Recently, in a support request on phpbb.com the question came up, if it's also possible, in the situation that you have a multi-lingual board, that custom BBCode-buttons could also have a localized button label and tooltip. While phpBB3 by itself doesn't really support this out of the box, it's not all that hard to get it working.

Halo 3 Messenger Bag
Sweet! Thinkgeek has another great product in their stock: A Halo 3 Messenger bag, that actually looks great :D Just too bad, that it will probably get stuck in customs which at this price results in ~ +33% :-(
