There have been a number of interesting suggestions on my post yesterday that attempt to solve the handheld-desktop sync and provide a web view of my calendars. However, many of these do not include editing via the web interface and none of them include a public free-busy only view1 for my work week that combines…

I think I’ve got some pretty basic calendaring needs. I want to be able to access (view/add/edit) my calendar data from any computer including my handheld (using the native handheld app and sync, not a web interface – at least for now) and I want to publish a simple free/busy view of my workday schedule…

Apple’s WWDC keynote announcements yesterday about Leopard have been talked about pretty much everywhere, but there are a few things I wanted to touch on: ToDos I was asked, so I’ll answer. I don’t see the ToDos and Notes implementation in Mail.app as a competitor to Tasks. My target audience is generally “folks who want…

Google Maps for the BlackBerry is fantastic! I am often underwhelmed by Google products but the maps team builds some really great stuff. This thing rocks. Thanks to Ethan for linking to this.

I want to use Trac as the engine for a web site1 for an open source project I’m planning to launch soon. Unfortunately, my struggles with Trac have not gone well so far. If anyone has some experience they’d like to share or would be willing to be a Trac admin resource for the project,…

I went through the i use this site and clicked on the apps I use most often. Pretty slick! My list there is a bit more recent than the list I already had here – though I doubt that will remain the case for long. 🙂

I started up my Windows box today for the first time in about 2 weeks (I’ve been using Parallels on my MacBook). I was greeted by a series of software updates that required a series of no less than 6 reboots. Is further comment needed?

There have been a number of interesting posts in the last few weeks from folks seriously thinking about what they want from an operating system. John Gruber’s latest post got me thinking about the applications bundled with Mac OS X. A quick survey of the apps I use and there are only 3 that are…

Since I got the MacBook, I’ve been using it quite a bit. The consulting work I’m doing requires spending some time in the Windows-only world of Visio, and I’m running it on the MacBook using Parallels. For a beta virtual machine, Parallels is pretty good. I’ve had some fun getting my Windows license key accepted:…

As far as I can tell, no one has yet come up with a way to tether a BlackBerry 8700 to a Mac (running Mac OS X) to use it as a modem. This works on the PC, so it’s likely a matter of reverse engineering to get it working on OS X. It seems…

We’re currently testing Mailroom for the Use Tasks service. The main benefit for us in using a system like this is that it gives us easy visibility into what the other person has done regarding a customer request, etc. – no more doubled replies to the user or wondering if the other fellow responded on…

I finally installed Growl recently. Two main thoughts: Why didn’t someone kick me in the butt and tell me to do this sooner? Someone really needs to improve the initial “ok, now what?” user experience.

The main reason I’ve decided to make the jump to the BlackBerry, despite it’s shortcomings, is that I no longer have any faith in the Palm OS as a platform. RIP Palm OS With the Palm OS sold and PalmSource looking to build on Linux, I just don’t see the current Palm OS getting “fixed”…

I probably like the Google Calendar interface (love the next 7 days view) a little better than the 30 Boxes interface, but I’ve got to give credit where credit is due. I typed this into the 30 boxes “one box add” box: Recycling yesterday repeat every other week And it got it right (created an…

This morning, when I launched it on my Windows laptop, Thunderbird asked me: Would you like to make Thunderbird your default mail application? It got me thinking, when is the last time I clicked on a “mailto:” link anyway?
