Our favorite bookmarks synchronizing Firefox extension, Foxmarks, is going through some growing pains. I got the notification to upgrade to version 2.0.34 last night, and went ahead with it. But since I did, I haven’t been able to connect to the synchronization servers. The Foxmarks folks say it’s server overload and they’re on the case, but if you can, I’d hold off before doing the update.
Foxmarks 2.0.34 LaunchedAll platforms with Firefox: Our favorite web-based task manager Remember the Milk has released a Firefox extension that integrates your to-do list into Gmail. This integration isn’t just an embedded list—it’s pretty full integration. For example, you can label messages “To Do” to automatically make them a task; as well as complete, postpone and otherwise manage your to-do’s right inside Gmail. The RTM Gmail extension adds a Tasks tab in Gmail’s settings where you can tell it to make starred messages or messages with a certain label a task. It also adds RTM capabilities to Gmail’s More Actions drop-down. Cool! If you haven’t checked out RTM yet, here’s how to get organised with Remember the Milk. The Remember the Milk in Gmail Firefox extension is a free download that works with and wherever Firefox does.

Still preparing for the holiday? Two years ago, we brought you some last minute holiday tips.
Food author and recipe minimalist Mark Bittman follows up on his summer-time list of 101 10-minute meals with a list of 101 appetizers that take 20 minutes or less to whip up. A few of them fudge the time requirements a bit, and a good number require having pre-made ingredients on hand, but the vast majority can be whipped up quickly with only one or two items added to your grocery list. What last-minute appetisers do you keep in your bag of tricks for unexpected guests or holiday entertaining? Open-source your recipes in the comments.
101 Simple Appetizers in 20 Minutes or Less [New York Times]Google has integrated translation tools into its Google Talk and GChat interfaces through the use of chat bots. To have a line translated from English to French, for instance, invite en2fr@bot.talk.google.com to chat, then simply chat the line you want to see translated. The bots use Google Translate as their back end, which, as one Blogoscoped commenter notes, has quite a few languages in rough beta, so this tool should mainly be used for casual or on-point word or line translations. For more translation tools and tips, try Wendy’s guide to translation sites.
Merry Christmas, God Jul and 圣诞快乐 [via Google Blogoscoped]Windows only: Open source keyword launcher Launchy grows up a little with a 2.0 release. Most of the changes seem to be in the interface—polished icons, better skinning support, transparency and fade effects, and other visual tweaks. But program options have been condensed into one window, plugins are more customisable, and the launcher seems more configurable overall. It’s important to note that any plugins and skins Launchy users currently have won’t work with 2.0 (yet), and your configuration file will be wiped away, so you might want to make a few notes before upgrading. Just jumping into Launchy? Check out Adam’s screenshot tweaking tour and guide to taking Launchy beyond applications. Launchy is a free download for Windows only. Thanks Troy!
LaunchyWindows only: Install and remove programs, update all your applications at once and build your own Linux-style repository for Windows with AppUpdater, an unassuming but powerful free program for Windows. Similar to the Apt or Yum applications in Linux, AppUpdater saves you browsing time and guess work while installing from a big list of programs, including a number of Lifehacker favorites—but you can roll your own repository of programs as well. But Appupdater is more than just a low-tech installer—its real power lies in two simple commands.
