In the last two installments of this series, I mention 10 Items and 10 Websites for college students. Now, here is some essential software for college students. Microsoft Office This is a Software Suite you will use every step of the way throughout college. Familiarize yourself with Word, Excel and Power point. Not only is it the best of its…
As a big fan of all things Google, including Google Calendar, I am pretty happy with some new features GCal has recently rolled out. Im not sure how new this is, but I discovered it today- you can actually have the weather, in the form of a little icon on each day, displayed on your Google Calendar. I find this…
Hands down the best tool for documents is Google Docs & Spreadsheets. With Microsoft Office support and the ability to access the documents anywhere as long as you have an internet connection, why use anything else? With Google Docs, I am able to upload Word and Excel documents, edit them, and export them into Word and Excel documents. They stay…
A few days ago I wrote about how to get calendar functionality in Thunderbird with Lightning. Today I want to talk about making Lightning 100 times better by giving it the ability to sync with Google Calendar. Since Google is my primary source for Email, Calendar, online document storage, notes and whatever else they offer, I always look for ways…
Gmail is my numero-uno choice for email. However, in my constant quest to backup all data I have anywhere, I felt Thunderbird would be a good desktop email client. After using Thunderbird a couple of days, I wanted to make it more “Outlook-esq.” I wanted calendar functionality. Knowing Mozilla made Sunbird, I figured there was something out there to integrate…
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about AIM 6.0 and how I made the switch to that from GAIM. One of the nice new (or really, improved) features of 6.0 is the Pictures feature. Up until last night I used Hello by Google to send pictures to people. It was a superior product with the ability to select a…
Some time ago, I wrote about how AIM Triton was evil. Over a year ago actually. I stated using GAIM and was very happy with it. However, about a month ago, my friend Dan recommended I try out AIM 6.0 with Ad-Hack, which removes any unwanted software and ads during installation. I’ve got to say, I am pretty impressed. First…
Over the last week or so, I have been using a website called Emusic to download music. It is a subscription based website where you pay monthly and get a monthly quota on song downloads. The subscriptions break down like this: $10.00/month- 30 songs $15.00/month- 50 songs $20.00/month- 75 songs I’d say that’s a pretty good deal. 75 songs works…
In the second installment of this series for 2007, I would like to talk about another ‘problem’ I have run into since getting a higher volume of clients; keeping track of projects. If you do not stay organized and on top of what you have to do for each client, you will ultimately fail as a business. That’s why you…
As a developer, you will get the occasional client that specifically requests flash elements on their site. Me being more of a coder than a graphics guy, I need an easy to use [cheap] flash application that can help me out. That application is SwishMax. At $100, SwishMax is your best bet for easy to use at that price. It…
