ZoHo – Online Office Applications
There has been lots of talk online about Writely, iRows and Google Spreadsheet lately that I though I’d take a moment and talk about the Zoho offerings. ZoHo is a company that makes an online word processor , spreadsheet application, polls, to-do lists, chat and more. Most applications are free and are all very good; and not invite only.
ZoHoWriter is basically the same as Writely. It’s a free online word processor that import & export Microsoft Word documents along with many other types of text files, export PDFs and it’s all web based. They deal with documents a little better though with a left hand menu that includes all your documents. All accessible from one screen and they can even open in tabs. Pretty sweet.
Mount Box.net on your Desktop
Box.net is an online storage site that gives you five free gigs of space to do with what you please. However, Uneasy Silence has figured out how to connect to Box.net via the Mac Finder. Thus allowing you to have a free, mountable 5 Gig online storage account.
It’s quite easy, just follow these steps.
1) Get a box.net account.
2) In the Mac Finder select the GO menu then choose Connect to Server (Or Command-K).
3) Put in the address: https://www.box.net/dav
4) When it prompts, put in your Box.net username as your name and your Box.net password in the password field.

My Sharks Mate A Lot
It’s true. I started with two sharks and now I’m up to 11!
To clarify, I got a great application called Fish. I realized I hadn’t tried it out since I got my sweet new machine. It runs so much better than on my previous machine.
Fish is a virtual aquarium. It allows me to run an aquarium simulator and add in fish. You can get to choose from a variety of fish, feed the fish, set some physical characteristics, name the fish, choose a setting and you get a free-range camera to watch the fish.
iRows : Web Based Spreadsheets
I searched for a web based Microsoft Excel today and I found iRows. All the basics, none of the bloat or cost!!
Today was a snow day and I was told not to come into work but rather work from home. Great idea except I treat my home computer differently than my work computer. For one, I didn’t install Microsoft Office.
I’ve had Writely for Word documents for a while now and it’s just amazing. Upload Word files, make edits, export them again and it’s all good. So, I went looking for a web based Excel. That’s when I found iRows.
Cool Free iPod Case, TwistClip and iShade
lajo.biz has lots of iPod cases to choose from at reasonably good prices. However now, they are free!
You get to choose from one of may cool designs, you get a free TwistClip belt clip and a free iShade screen protector.
The only thing that isn’t free is the shipping. That’s about $8. I think that for an iPod case and the two accessories $8 isn’t bad at all!
I ordered my Phosphorus designed case this morning and I’m eagerly awaiting it’s arrival!!
