Thunderbird 3.0
Looks great, performs better. Best feature: super-powered search. Next best feature: global inbox. Lightning doesn’t yet work on it though, so I can’t move my main work machine to it. At least Enigmail’s OK. Can’t wait… Update: broke down and installed TBird 3.0 with the Lightning nightlies. Working... Read More...

Quinnware is BACK
More than a year after the last test build 120, almost five years since the last official release 4.50, 5.0 is here, baby! I’ll be having a beer in its honour tonight. The skin’s updated a little, but the most obvious addition is album art support in the default skin. Read More...

Sueetie
All I can say is, SUEET ! It is a project that integrates best of breed Open Source .NET software to produce an online community suite. That makes it a direct competitor to Community Server and, to a smaller extent, mojoPortal . I’ll be looking at the possibility of migrating That Stupid Club which... Read More...

Irregular Oblivioning: The Essentials
I’ve been a fan of the Elder Scrolls series since the Arena days and apart from the action adventure Redguard I’ve played them all (never did finish Arena or Daggerfall though, pesky bugs…). The series really took off with Morrowind. While the main quest was OK, if a bit formulaic... Read More...

Goodnight, Quinnware
Looks like its lights out at quinnware.com , home of QCD and QMP. I’ve still not found a suitable replacement for QMP yet and I probably was still hoping for that one last release despite the months of silence from the developer, but I guess the search is that much more urgent now. Thanks for the years... Read More...

Comodo Internet Security Released
I’ve mentioned that I’m using Comodo Firewall as my software firewall solution. Version 3 was even better than version 2, with low CPU utilisation (even while engaging in heavy P2P sessions) and secure (ranked consistently near the top in the Matousec firewall tests ). And now version 3.5 (renamed the... Read More...

Oh, Norton!
So Firefox 3 and Norton 360 2.0 and Internet Security 2008 do not get along at all . This was probably a shock to the millions who use and trust Symantec products but I have to say this, Symantec is not nice. Symantec destroyed the reputation of the brand “Norton”, making the security applications bloated... Read More...

Verisign SSL Certs with Apache2
Just spent a couple hours wrestling with this, sigh… So apparently Versign certs do not work with mod_ssl because they are packed in the PKCS#7 format. For my own future reference: openssl pkcs7 -in www.example.com.crt -print_certs -out www.example.com.crt.new from Using a Verisign SSL Certificate with... Read More...
