MidnightFox is Coming

  • 28 Mar, 2006

I’m currently working on a new Firefox theme. This time, it’s dark. MidnightFox is based on iPox and has some similarities. However, I’m working on theming everything to bring a nice, dark experience to Firefox. Don’t worry though, it’s not too dark. There is color in the buttons and were it seems necessary. I’m hoping […]

Style Mozilla Lightning

  • 23 Mar, 2006

I was excited to hear about Mozilla’s latest extension called Lightning. It is a calendar extension that is nicely integrated into Thunderbird. Granted this is version 0.1, and there are a lot of bugs, but it is quite nice. A great start to a much needed Thunderbird addon. One thing that bugged me though was […]

Mint : It’s like Firefox for Stats

  • 15 Mar, 2006

No, Mint isn’t another new offering from Mozilla, but rather well designed stats package for your website. Not only does it look good, it’s also very easy to use and extendable! Mint costs $30 and you install it your webserver. It’s PHP based and requires a database but it’s really simple to setup and use. […]

My First Dashboard Widget

  • 14 Mar, 2006

I’ve created my first Dashboard Widget 🙂 Thanks to a nice tutorial from Josh Nimoy I was able to walk though the steps and see how easy it is to create a simple, yet pointless, Dashboard Widget. You never know, this could be the first steps towards something amazing! If you want, and I don’t […]

iRows : Web Based Spreadsheets

  • 13 Mar, 2006

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 […]

Writely Purchased by Google!

  • 9 Mar, 2006

One of my favorite Web 2.0 applications is Writely – online word processing. I just find it so useful, simple and wonderful! Completely imports almost any text file with formatting and export them as well. So handy. However, today I found out it got bought by Google!! What does that mean? Well I’m not sure […]

Pixoh: Image Editing Online

  • 9 Mar, 2006

I was going to talk about box.net online storage today as a cool web service, but Pixoh image editing is so much cooler! Pixoh allows a user to upload a photo, or grab it from the web, and edit it online. Currently you can crop, resize and rotate. Then, when you are done, you can […]

Google Calendar works with iCal

  • 8 Mar, 2006

No, it’s not official, but there are strong rumors that Google Calendar (code name CL2) will work with iCal as they use the same file format. CL2 is closely, very closely, integrated with Gmail. It includes now-standard web 2.0 features – Ajax, suscription feeds for integration with iCal and other desktop calendars, event creation, search, […]

Dreamweaver Replacement on the Mac?

  • 6 Mar, 2006

I’m looking for a replacement for Dreamweaver on my new iMac. I like Dreamweaver but it seems to complex (and expensive) for what I need. What I’d like in a new app is code completion and code preview abilities. Granted, I know that’s not always available. Built in FTP would be good too but not […]
