Eudora

I just had the displeasure of using Eudora 6.2.1 to trouble-shoot something at work. Upon Eudora downloading new mail messages the user is greeted with noise reminiscent of Commander Keen, and a picture of 3 sheep. Does anyone still use this crap?

Belated (Technical) New Years Resolutions

Some technical items I would like to accomplish in the year 2005.

  • Purchase of G5 Powermac (after macworld)
  • Migrate 4 email clients/accounts into one (I wonder if Mail.app can handle 1200 messages a day…). I will miss you pine.
  • Make VoIP stable. This means setting up QOS that works and maybe running ethernet to my server rack in the garage instead of wireless.
  • Create a captive portal for my wireless network at the house.

There are of course many more items that I will accomplish this year, these are my personal forecasted ones though.

Apple’s rumored iWork

Apple’s rumored iWork suite of applications must be true: Software I use to keep track of time and invoicing is called iWork, but today I noticed it’s been renamed to iBiz. Looks like apple has it trademarked too.

RSS and Aggregator’s and Wiki’s, oh my

I am a recent convert from “blogs in tabs” to a RSS aggregator called NetNewsWire. Because of this instead of reading 5-10 different websites a day I can now quickly (almost as fast as I can read mail in pine) scan through almost 80 different subscriptions.

One of the coolest ways I’ve been able to integrate NetNewsWire into my life is by utilizing the RSS feeds that are built into PHPwiki. Now when an article is modified on our corporate wiki I get a nice link and summary.

Now if I could only convince the last two remaining blogs that I read that don’t have RSS/syndication: Nick Finck and Digital Butterfly.

Brother’s 17″ powerbook melted. I wonder if this is related to the 15″ powerbook battery recall.
