Xprss It Finally Live

AJ on December 4th, 2005
  

Well Xprss It is finally released. It is a RSS aggregator. But it’s not just the normal aggregator but also a community site where you can share content with others, have contacts and contact groups as well as publish your own Blog!

And this is only a preview release. We, at Applibase, have worked for quite sometime on it and are quite proud of it. We hope to add _tons_ of features before the next beta release which should be quite soon. But till then, please try it out and give us feedback as well as criticism on how to improve it :)

Warning: It is a Preview Release so things are bound to break. But worry not for we are working harder than ever to make sure things get fixed before you notice them. And if you do notice them, tell us and we will fix it before you know it ;-)

I know it’s a very controversial post and I am sure if any of the Linux evangelists find it, they will flame me. But please I want no flames. I only detail what I have experienced here and what I have gone through using Linux :-(

IPOD Help

AJ on August 17th, 2005
  

I started using my Ipod yesterday but trouble struck at the second step. The installation, though a tad bit slow, completed smoothely. ITunes recognised my prized possesion :-D and gave me access to copy songs to it. But trouble struck at that point. It would not copy the songs according to the folders I had my music arranged in. So all my organisation right now lies to a waste.

I need to find out how to do that. Anyone have any ideas on how to achieve that?

Ipod Finally in my hands

AJ on August 16th, 2005
  

Yaaaaay.. Today is independence day and it turns out I finally got the object I desired the most for the past year or so.

An Apple Ipod A gift from my sister. She had been on her honeymoon for the past fortnight and a day before she was to return, I asked her to get me one. :-)

It’s a 20 GB model which can store about 5000 songs. Though I had asked for one with a mono display, it seems the color display has become the default and mono display production has been stopped. Good for me :-D
It is awesome and I just still cant believe that I got one.

Woo hoo

Microsoft - Love it or Hate it?

AJ on August 8th, 2005
  

Everyone loves to hate Microsoft. It is one of the favorite pastimes of Linux Geeks and users alike. I have done it and I accept it. Microsoft Windows the most popular operating system ever is also one of the most vulnerable. I have hated it when it did not something I wanted but behaved much like a cat doing it’s own thing.

However, I came across this interesting post which looks at Microsoft from a totally different perspective. Why it _might_ be targeted by virus writers, hacker et all. A pretty good read if only for light reading.

Email problems - Thunderbird

AJ on August 5th, 2005
  

I am pissed. Though not sure who to be pissed at. Thunderbird (My email client), Gmail, or my ISP. It’s been 3 days since I started having email problems. I use only pop3 email accounts cos I hate web-mail.

But the problem seems to only be with Gmail. Read the rest of this entry »
