Remember this app, with the icon like a garbage truck and letters TM on the side? It would put a timestamp in the info field when dropping something in the trash, then automatically delete those items when it reached a certain age. Very handy! Is there anything that works like that for OS X? I just reclaimed 7% of my disk space by emptying my trash, so it would be great if it would self-empty. However, I don't want to get in the habit of trashing and emptying immediately, because there've been numerous "oh crap!" moments when I realized I threw the wrong folder in the trash minutes after doing it.

depending on what flavour of X you are working in there was ican and today there;s dragthing that put that pre X trash can on your desktop and tell you how much is in that can

i wish X would tell me how much space is being reclaimed
