Goodbye VoodooPad Lite, Hello Journler

  • 9 Aug, 2006

It wasn’t long ago when I was researching ‘junk drawer’ type applications. I wanted something to keep track of all my random information. Blog posts, images, URLs, notes and whatever else. My research ended with VoodooPad Lite; until now. Browsing MacUpdate, I came across Journler and I’ve never seen such a great application, especially for […]

WWDC Aftermath, Little Shock & Awe

  • 7 Aug, 2006

Well WWDC Apple announcements are over and what are we left with? Some cool stuff, but nothing earth shattering in my mind. New Mac Pro’s do sound sweet, but I’m not in need of a Pro machine. My iMac works wonders! New Xserves too, again, not my area of expertise. The Leopard features were not […]

WWDC’s Here

  • 7 Aug, 2006

Well today is the big WWDC! Apples day to shine with new product and software announcements. But what can we expect? Well the only thing we know for sure is Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) will be previewed. We’ll get to see some of the 100+ new features. There is always over 100 new features so […]

AttachmentReminder – Never Forget Attachments

  • 6 Aug, 2006

AttachmentReminder is quite possibly one of the most useful extensions for Thunderbird. What it does is allows you to add keywords that relate to attachments and, on send, if it finds one of those keywords, but no attachment, it’ll warn you. I simply have attach in AttachmentReminder’s keyword list and anytime any word contains attach, […]

Screw You Too Adobe

  • 2 Aug, 2006

I’m very unhappy with Adobe right now. I called yesterday and asked them if Adobe Acrobat Standard could convert Word documents to PDFs on a Mac and keep all images and clickable links. They said yes so the program was bought. However, none of my documents contain clickable links after they’ve been converted from Word […]

Web 2.0 Applications List

  • 2 Aug, 2006

The Second Press made a quick post yesterday about IT|Redux’s updated Web 2.0 database of applications. After checking it out, I have to say this is one of the finest lists I’ve seen. It’s a fantastic list organized by type of application and lists some features & reviews of each. I highly recommend checking it […]

Some Like it HOT

  • 29 Jul, 2006

Some like it hot, the rest of us think this is a little to warm. Last nigh as we were driving back from a friends house, it was 86 degrees. The time? Midnight! With temperatures reaching 100 for the next few days, it’s amazing to hear on the weather that a cool down is coming. […]

Skype – Cheap Internet Phone Service

  • 26 Jul, 2006

A few weeks back my wife broke her ankle and I started working from home more to help her out. The main problem with that was that all we have is cell phones. A few meetings on the cell phone and we’d be over our minutes. So I checked out Skype and found it to […]

Are there any OPML syncing services?

  • 19 Jul, 2006

As I bounce back and fourth between Firefox and Flock, I realize that I really need some sort of OPML syncing service. A quick Google and Yahoo search came up with nothing. Is there really no service to sync OPML files between browsers? I have Sage in Firefox and Flock has a nice built in […]

New Ajax WordPress Plugins Installed

  • 12 Jul, 2006

I’ve installed two new plugins that are Ajax based. Ajax Comments Great plugin that takes the refresh out of adding a comment to the site. It simply accepts the comment and adds it to the list without ever changing screens. Ajax LiveSearch This replaces my default search box with a live search box. Start typing […]
