well, i'm trying out some new peices of software. The first one is Evolution mail client. It was made for linux and they didn't make a windows version but i found someone who ported it. To tell you the truth I had a really hardtime typing "Evalution mail for windows" in google.lol. anyway it seems really good apart from every time I try to set an alarm in my calander it crashes.
The second peice of software is'nt really "new" but is the next version of everyones favourite browser firefox. Yep, i'm testing firefox Beta 2.0. It's user interface has been polished and to me it seems a bit faster, infact the only thing I don't like is that Sage my RSS reader dosen't support it yet (how am I going to live with out my RSS feeds) but that's not mozzilas fault. All in all it's safe to say you are going to like this. Go grab the it.
Oh yeah, I think the next Beta for skype has been released too.Yay.
I have made my site (sorta) but i haven't uploaded it because it just doesn't meet my needs, therefore I am going to use a program that I tried to use a long time ago but I messed it up and couldn't be bothered with it. The program is called thingamablog which is a program used to make a blog but does not require any PHP and is just CSS and HTML. I have seen it being used but the templates are ugly so i will have a bit of work to do but i will get there. It should do everything i need.
It allows you to create your entries and post them and It creates an XML file (RSS feed) but for some reason it does not have a commenting system which is stupid because it's called thingamablog but i can easily fix that. The program is also opensource.

Yet again i found myself searching my RSS feeds and yet again i found something interesting on Slashdot. This time it was an online OS called you OS. This OS features many applications such as IM, word processor, IRC and believe it or not a web browser. Yep that's right a web browser. I tested the OS out and i gotta say it is pretty cool for what it is. You could even command it using the command line interface or YouShell. The first thing i did was see if the web browser worked so i opend it up and typed in twit.tv low and behold it worked. Check out my screen shot. I gonna play around with it some more but it's not something i can see myself using a lot.
Take a look for yourself: YouOS
I was rushing through all my RSS feed that i subscribe to when something on slashdot caught my eye the words "Dvorak" and "Rants" i new John C Dvorak does a lot of articles and blogging but to see him on slashdot was the lat thing i expected. Anyway i read through the article and it's funny as a lot of Dvorak's work is. It was all about CSS or cascading style sheets and why they bug him. it's wort checking out.
