Having decided to use Thunderbird as my E-mail program instead of others one thing became evident. If you are using Thunderbird then the add-ons or plug-ins are important because they help you do things the program alone does not. Here are the plug-ins that I like and why I use them.
These are not in any particular order:
My kids have been bothering me for a while to give them one of my laptops so that they can play their Internet (webkinz… or something like that) and local games.
Well I finally decided that it is time for me to give them this. So today I went on mass overhaul of my systems here.
Well I finally got accepted for the Woopra Beta. If you do not know what Woopra is you have to take a look at it. It looks like it is going to be the best statistics program around for blogs. I found out about it form Lorelle’s Blog Post about it.
After evaluating it from other blogs and subscribing to Woopra Beta . After a while I got the approval and have been using it ever since. If you need statistics for your blogs this is the best program around.
I have been on a search for a good RSS reader for a little bit of time. You see I have been putting all my bookmarks in to The Brain, and this has been going pretty good. Unfortunately as I come across an RSS Feed that I want to keep notice off, I was a little bit stuck.
I have tried google Reader, and it is a good basic reader that lets you read the RSS Feeds from a number of places, but it is a bit limited, the place where it is limited is on my Microsoft Mobile phone as I want to read the news there. I might try other on-line RSS Feed places, but for now I tried to find something that I can take cross platform with me.
Well I have stumbled upon BlogBridge, while I do not know if it is a good permenant solution as I have just started using, at this point it fills the void for me. If it does not work out it has an OPML export so I can start using others.
Having switched to the new Ubuntu I find myself without a bookmark synchronizer. I used to use Google Sync (http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/browsersync/) but since it no longer works with the 3.0 browser and I do not have time to wait. I am in search for a new browser plug-in for the sync of my bookmarks. Now I use The Brain for keeping and browsing of links but I also would like to keep it synchronized as well.
So what do I use? No Idea for now… but I am trying a few things for the first one I tried is Mozilla Weave (Available Here). The following things so far I have found wrong with it.
