The funambol outlook plug-in is a way to synchronize the Outlook system with my.funambol.com. Outlook as a mail client is horrible but as an address book it contains a lot of options that are helpful in keeping the addresses in check. I use it as a storage repository for addresses, notes from my PDA, and even as a Calendar.

After some searching and looking at a few sites that I came up with a solution for my synchronization problem.
The solution is pretty simple and comes in the form of an online service called funambol. Funambol is a company that offers synchronization for carriers and corporate environments. They also have an open source product available that lets anyone setup their own funambol server.
Another option is the currently free service that funambol hosts. This service is available at the URL: my.funambol.com . Once an account is setup these will be options available to download the appropriate client for the phone device. On the site there are clients available for the BlackBerry, iPhone, Windows Mobile, Symbian, Java, iPod, and Outlook. More clients are available at funambol forge, pretty much all the systems are covered here.
In the following posts I will try to describe how to setup certain functionality for synchronization between various systems.

Just a year ago the only way to connect a SATA drive was only through an external enclosure. This was an expensive proposition especially for people live me who have a ton of hard drives. A few months ago the manufacturers started coming up with new devices that are just docks for 3.5 or 2.5 SATA drives. These devices have both a USB and some of them eSATA interface.
An example of of such a device is the following Startech.com device which I own and like. These devices are nothing more then a dock for the hard drives bat do not need fans, cases, etc. It is also easy to switch hard drives when needed, all you have to do is stop the device in windows or unmount the device in Unix and remove it from the dock.
This gives the ability to swap the drives on the go.
Another thing is that if the computer has an eSATA input or a pci express card, then the SATA drives can operate at the highest efficiencies.
If you desire a way to use all those SATA drives then in my opinion this is the best alternative.

Almost a year ago on my old block I reviewed an open sourced software package from an Australian company Avente Pty Ltd. This software which is released under the Common Development and Distribution Licensethe perfect companion for implementing the Getting Things Done system without having to use on-line Software.
Thinking Rock now in version 2.2.1 follows the GTD system to a tee, making the transition from reading the book to implementing the system hassle free. With the introduction of reporting and text export this software can get you to implement the system and keep it around with you on the road.

A software comes around once in a while that wen originally viewed is looked at as nothing more then a toy, but when fully used and utilized after some time becomes the best software ever.
The Brain Personal (http://www.thebrain.com) is just that kind of software. I have been using it for at least 6 years now and have gone through the whole evolution of the software. While looking like a fancy toy this software lets you create links and thoughts for the way you think and work. No it is not a gimmick if you actually take the time to learn the software that is exactly what it does (A little more on that later).
