eMclient sets a date for end of BETA

eMclient screenshot

eM client is an excellent email client, and recent releases have been very impressive. They’ve done an outstanding effort to poise themselves as the Microsoft Outlook killer/alternative. The community looking at eM client have been watching it’s development closely.

The eM client crew recently released this from their website.

This was their release…

eMclient v2: An Instant Message Enigma

eMclient Instant Message how toIt’s true the guys over an eMclient are making some serious progress. In my email exchanges they have indicated they’re ‘…seriously busy’ and kudos for all the efforts and their accomplishments.

I’m a big fan of eMclient; I really want to see it succeed and flourish, but one thing about it has in common with other free and open source projects, the programmers usually can’t produce documentation was well as they can write the code.

And you know these guys are using eMclient right now, they’re coding it and they know every inch of how it works, but releasing it in to the wild with average users…

You might as well have released a $50 special jigsaw puzzle, of rock garden, to a 3yr old…

Review: eMclient v2.0

image eMclient has presented itself as the alternative to Microsoft Outlook and while it has many competitive features, apparently it’s not ready enough to break the finish line ribbon.

Nothing would make me happier than to be able to post an absolutely outrageous and fantastic review about eMclient, but the latest release of this application, after months of waiting, was a little bit of a disappointment to me.

About a week ago the latest revision of eMclient was released, version 2. I had a previous version of eMclient and when I downloaded the next version [v2] I had some difficulties with the upgrade process. I had e-mailed the authors and I didn’t get an immediate response, but I was able to contact them through Twitter. through Twitter I got a quick response from one of the support staff and they gave me the information that needed to be able to clear out the previous installation completely and then start all over. This wasn’t a big deal because I wasn’t using eMclient as my primary e-mail program.

Plasma TV’s outlook is snowy

image If your a plasma TV owner you should know they are prone to fail from the get-go.

Plasma TV’s have a great picture and are lower in price in comparison to LCD TV’s, but the issue is that plasma TV’s get hot and once they start getting too hot the signal to turn the pixels on and off get lost and the result is the multi-colored [green, red, blue, black, etc] dots start showing up in the picture where they shouldn’t.

Take for instance the Magnavox 50MF. I’ve had some experience with this plasma TV and I worked with it for about 8 months [apparently a break in period] and for the 8 months I had one it was fine, but after that I noticed some issues.

Review: eM Client [the Outlook Killer]

I find great jubilation in my recent uncovering of this freeware gem. The website openly advertises itself as the Outlook alternative. The clean user interface and the intuitive functions will attract even the most skeptical users.

The initial download of the file is 6.5 MB; a drop in the bucket for anyone with a broadband connection. It’s well worth the time for experimentation and evaluation. Read more…

A Cup’o WINE 1.1.8

I’m consistently impressed with this software package. I dual boot to Ubuntu and while I’ll admit the Ubuntu project is no main stream [yet]; it’s getting there and fast.

The open source developers are forging forward and enthusiastically moving for a complete package.

While Ubuntu is a great Operating System and comes loaded with great software packages, there just are personal killer requirements before moving to Ubuntu and that’s where WINE steps in. It allows the use to run windows applications on Ubuntu and the way WINE integrates, it makes it really easy to run your favorite programs.

I personally have used this and was very pleased with the results; no errors or problems whatsoever.

DELL offers Ubuntu on their PC’s and laptops direct from the factory and projects like this show the dedication of open source efforts and how much of an impact they can make on the industry; letting people know- there’s an option.

Wine is a project to allow a PC running a Unix-like operating system and the X Window System to run x86 programs for Microsoft Windows. Alternately, those wishing to port a Windows application to a Unix-like system can compile it against the Wine libraries.

  • Substantial parts of inetcomm implemented (for Outlook)
  • Still better crypt32 support
  • Memory management improvements
  • Theming support for buttons
  • Various bug fixes
  • Wine

    Productive Software: My Top 10 Picks

    In the business world of a everyday sucky tasks and ta-do’s, it’s really hard to keep track of everything, and its even worse even you don’t have the right tools. If you’ve ever tried to open a can of chili with a dull spoon; these are the tools of the cubical-land office I’m talking about.

    The depressing and mundane cubical landscape says you can’t have anything of your own and if you have to click twenty times to do something simple; if there’s not other way you have to click 20 times because all the other 17 clicks are not used or don’t mean anything and the application your using is designed for so many other things you don’t use it for.

    Some businesses or environments have policies about installing software on your work PC, some prohibit the connection of USB devices, but others recognize that USB devices are required and that software that is freeware is allowed. So, the only recourse to these bastard-like applications is to work around/with them. Tame and bind them to your will with these useful tools.

    A Techie Review: Nuance PaperPort 11

    PaperPort is an application that allows the average user to try to organize their electronic documents.  Whether that the pictures are imported or scanning documents, the program facilitates the function of trying to organize all this information with the efforts of trying to give the user a usable interface to do certain things with those documents, such as send e-mail and post to the web.

    Pretty much anyone can use it. Only those who really want organize their stuff or make the effort to are going to try to use it. This application is not focused on business customers because the program offers no notable security options of it’s own; it only offers the security of the Windows Operating System. There is a mention of PDF security, but you can get that with most freeware programs that handle PDF. There is no internal user security in the program. Read more…
