I’m a happy man. Now that Google has added IMAP access (Google is rolling out IMAP over several days; it’s possible that not all Gmail users have the option yet), I can see my Gmail messages from Outlook, Mac Mail, and Evolution (my email clients on Windows, Mac OS, and Ubuntu respectively) and move [...]
Need to back up your laptop files or stash some large files someplace? Check SteamLoad out. They are offering 25gb of storage. They provide a web interface for downloading and uploading and a downloadable PC application for file synchronization.
Pando makes it easy to send a large file, such as a video, over the Internet. It uses BitTorrent technology. I tried an earlier version of Pando, which was tied to email, but didn’t find it natural to use. The new version, which sports additional interfaces, is quite easy to use.

There are a few programs out there that index the contents of your PC hard drive for quick search. [Mac users who are running Tiger have Spotlight; PC users will eventually have something similar, when Vista makes its way onto their PCs.] I used Google Desktop for a while. It [...]
Just loaded Qumana, the blog authoring tool, on my tablet PC and I’m happy to see that it works the same way as it does on my iBook.. Gotta love those who code for both platforms.

New Tablet PC
Like many students and teachers at Emma Willard, I’m going to be spending a fair amount of time computing on a Tablet PC.
During the last 2 or 3 years, I’ve spent about 90% of my computing time on one of two Macs. My home computer is an iBook. I’ve been taking it [...]
