In love with Google Mail#

Okay, this one's partly a concession to Miramar Mike – I have to hand it Google, I'm totally in love with Google Mail. And I'm not just talking about the "Yay I get an email address @ gmail.com" service, I'm talking about the hosting all your personal domain email with Gmail i.e user_mailbox_x100@svoboda.co.nz. This is some I just discovered recently. I also had a good look to see if Microsoft was doing this as well. However their service with POP3 support is not free and a lot more expensive than even the Google premium service. One thing I didn't like was the Google Mail interface. I found it a bit outdated. It's grown on me but I would like to still see it lean, but a bit slicker and more professional looking. The other thing that worried me was the conversation threads and no folder support. I've grown to like conversation threads as now I don't lose any emails in a particular conversation and I have fallen in love with archiving and labeling instead of using folders. All in all a nice offering and providing some major challenge to Microsoft in terms of hosted email offerings.

LinkedIn Profile#

I've finally spent some time on setting up my network and career profile on LinkedIn. This seems to be one of the free best online services for managing this type of personal information. I particularly like the network contact features which help me keep my network up to date. To see my linked in profile with my career history, go to http://www.linkedin.com/in/lukassvoboda

Another for the Apple needs to “learn” files..#

Interesting commentary from John Lilly, Mozilla's chief operating officer on the release of Apple's Safari browser for Windows. It's basically a "Apple needs to learn" article and certainly reflects a lot of my thinking that despite trying to maintain a "cool" image, Apple's corporate thinking is still very backward.

Hahahaha: Mystery of tiny faces on Vista DVDs solved#

Proving that everyone loves a great conspiracy theory (and the IT industry is no exception) - this Computerworld article details the mystery of tiny faces on Vista DVDs. It details some of the great conspiracy theories put forward and then tells of the rather simple and pragmatic explanation from Microsoft.

Not much posting on my blogs#

Just a quick note, I haven't been posting much the last two weeks due to a rather nasty headcold turning into an even nastier ear infection. I'm back on board today and slowly getting back into things. Many things to blog on!!!
