Friday, August 26, 2005 Did I mention I finally downloaded Portable-Thunderbird? For those not in the know, Thunderbird is essentially the open source universe's answer to outlook. It rocks my socks off, but what really, really rocks my socks off is this particular distribution. It's designed to sit on a flash-drive, and run from it without the constant writing and re-writing that will eventually destroy it. Great you say, what's that mean? Well it means that I get to take my inbox with me wherever I go. When I get to the cyber all I have to do is open up the program and my e-mail will be downloaded. No more crying because the gmail isn't loading right, or not accepting my password. What's more, it has a built in RSS aggregator, so all I have to do is sit back and wait a couple of minutes and I have all the updates from all of your blogs and any pertinent news. That totally rocks my socks off.

What could be even better you ask? Oh, how about a portable version of Firefox? Yeah, no more crappy IE for me where I have to have 1000 windows opened to be productive. Sweet, sensual tabbed browsing has arrived, and it's in my pocket. Awesome.

Sorry for the geeky post, but not much has really happened to relay! I'm getting lots of Internet time though!
