NeoOffice Goodness & Replacement Icon

  • 4 Jun, 2007

I’ve recently re-checked out NeoOffice. NeoOffice is the Mac version of OpenOffice and is a great alternative to Microsoft Office. NeoOffice is free which makes it $400 less that the Microsoft version. 😉 The download is big, but it’s a program that sure can do a lot. The interface is very nice and it makes […]

Adobe’s Apollo Leaves Me Confused

  • 31 May, 2007

I don’t remember who, but in my recent feed reading someone said that Adobe’s Apollo was going to be a great thing. So I installed it last night only to be left confused on what I was doing. Apollo is basically an invisible application that you can run mini applications on. Much like Yahoo Widget […]

Help Save A Startup – Zooomr

  • 30 May, 2007

One of my favorite startup companies is in need of help. Zooomr is a great photo sharing site much like Flickr or Photobucket. However, during a recent upgrade, they ran into major issues.

Graphics Editing for Firefox Themes

  • 7 May, 2007

In order to create custom buttons and imagery for your Firefox theme, you’ll need some graphics skills and a program. Myself, I use Macromedia Adobe Fireworks CS3. I really like how easy it is to use and how well it mixes vector and bitmap imagery. That’s my choice, but you can choose to use whatever […]

Make Custom Thunderbird Labels Stand Out

If you followed the Thunderbird Labels modification I put up a few days back, you may have found out that it didn’t work for custom labels/tags. Yes, I knew that, but wanted to start off with the basic labels. Here is a quick tutorial on how to get your custom ones up and running. What […]

Google Loves Apple? iGoogle Launched

  • 1 May, 2007

I was reading over at TechCrunch that Google personalized homepages were re-launching as iGoogle. When I logged into my account, sure enough, there it was; iGoogle. Now, most things that start with an i followed by a product name remind me of Apple. I think it was that iMac that started it all and of […]

Mailplane brings Gmail to the desktop.

  • 23 Apr, 2007

If you use Gmail and a Mac, Mailplane is a must have application. It’s really the first program I’ve seen that really takes a web based application to the desktop. At it’s core, it’s really just a webkit browser (or so I assume) that shows Gmail. But then there is so much more. It has […]

Sync Google Calendar & Thunderbird

  • 19 Apr, 2007

If you’ve upgraded to Thunderbrid 2.0 you can now run the Provider extension that will sync Google Calendar and Thunderbird running the calendar extension. It’s very easy to setup thanks to bfish.xaedalus.net’s instructions. I tested it out this morning and it worked flawlessly. Ok, maybe one minor issue. It seems that it ‘automagically’ populated my […]
