Firefox Groowe Toolbar – 2

Lets try this again. The Groowe Toolbar for Firefox was modifying my 404 errors yesterday. I was very annoyed because 1) I couldn’t figure out how I was getting to this new 404 page, and 2) couldn’t turn it off. However all is well now. Milos responded to my issues and corrected them in just […]

Mozilla Thunderbird Mini Review

I recently switched over to Thunderbird on my iMac G5 at work and I’ve been loving it ever since. I’m not finding to many missing features and there are many more features that I probably haven’t even found. Some of my favorite features include… • Saved Searches (smart folders) • Send Message Again as New […]

Switching to Thunderbird

Well I’m taking the leap. I’m dropping Apple’s Mail application for Mozilla‘s Thunderbird email client at work. Thunderbird is free, customizable and available for Mac’s, PC’s and most operating systems. There were a couple of reasons for switching. Saved Searches (aka Smart Folders) Return Receipts Mail Priorities Labels Granted, Apple’s Mail.app has most of these […]

Will Firefox ever be Aquafied?

The Firefox team keeps saying ‘it is coming’ and it never does. I’ve been seeing more and more Camino reviews lately and they all include how wonderful it looks. How it fits right in with the Mac environment. Well what about Firefox? Granted, I don’t think Firefox is ugly by any means, however I wish […]

Help? Switch to Entourage?

Call it a lap in judgment, or the curiosity that is eating me up, but I like trying new things and I’m considering trying Entourage*! This is big because I’m not a Microsoft fan. But Entourage is looking kinda nice. With mail, address book, calendar, appointments and notes all in one convent application, it’s just […]

Bonjour for Wireless Mac & PC Printing

As we slowly set up the office area in the new place, I wanted to hook my printer up to print wirelessly since we have two computers. Now my printer is nice, but it’s not a network printer and I didn’t spend the extra $30 or so to get a wireless router with a USB […]

Skype Me! Free Internet Phone

So I just discovered Skype. I’ve known about it for a while, I just never tired it before. Yesterday, fueled by the anger towards Qwest, my co-worker and I checked it out. Skype is a phone service that is free for you to call other Skype users over your computer. You use your built in […]

Mac OS X Tiger for WordPress

It’s gorgeous! I found a plug-in that converts the admin side of WordPress into something much more Mac like! It’s so easy on the eyes and 10x better than the default. You can get your Tiger plug-in over at www.orderedlist.com. It does require Firefox to look correctly though as it’s the only browser that fully […]

Pay for a Dashboard Widget?

I guess it’s gonna happen sooner or later, but the idea of paying for a Dashboard widget seems wrong. These are little applications that give you quick access to things like a phone book, calculator, ftp client and whatever you can think of. They are CSS/Javascript/DHTML type of things and can be vary handy. So […]
