Get Rid of Interruptions – Force Idle Status on GTalk
Posted by Mayur Somani in HackTrix, Productivity Trix
I love that orange dot on my GTalk, cause once I have that color on my status, I can choose whether to reply to a friend or not and she’ll not be offended by no response from me since idle status will act as a shield 
The only problem is that GTalk is too honest, it’ll show the idle status only when I don’t touch it for about 10 minutes and once I touch it, I am active again, visible to all 
So I prayed to God for six days and seven nights continuously to give me the power to change that green color to orange. And seems like he(she?) heard my voice cause I received an email on the seventh day which described a tool called gAlwaysIdle. Once you install this tool, simply right click on the gtalk icon and choose “always idle”.
That’s it, now you can stay idle and chat with the selected friends… err… wait who’s this pinging me again and again… oh it’s God… Man! he always disturbs me when I am writing these supercool blog posts, but no problems this time cause I am “idle”…
Enjoy!
I have been using this software for quite long and this is very useful.
Though I missed the invisible feature so I prefer Google lab now a days because when you are blogging you can’t afford to get disturbed in between
TFS!
I think you are thinking like sukrat, but I think you should cover the other side of the topic in the post too…
