Switching from the lizzard to the bird

I finally decided to switch the lizzard for the bird. It’s just so much quicker … In fact I wrote this post 2 minutes into the future and it’s already online.
By the way, make sure you check the extensions.



Ducky’s Laws of E-mail

Found this interesting set of e-mail laws in a comment to a Mitch
Kapor entry on his weblog.

DUCKY’S LAWS OF EMAIL

1. People are more efficient when related messages are grouped
together and the groups are in rough priority order.

2. People want to be able to see all their “to-do” messages –
ones that they need to read, respond to, or act upon — easily.

3 (or maybe 2b). When a message has no more pending actions,
people want to remove it from their list of “to-do” messages.

4. People want to execute actions with one or fewer clicks.

5. Old messages are a valuable resource.

6. The faster and better a Search tool is, the less important it
is to file messaages.

7. Fuzzy-logic or “scoring” filters are much more accurate than
the “sudden death” filters that most email clients now have.

8. Most people won’t customize their own setup, but are usually
willing to import customizations that other people have made.

9. Messages that are to you and only you are usually more
important than messages where you’re one of many recipients.

10. Some people (e.g. customer service reps) answer the same
questions over and over, but computers are not quite smart enough
to be able to figure out which response is appropriate.

EA Sports

When reading this entry by Sergio href="http://www.microsoft.com/">one thing came to my mind.

Phoenix 0.5

Phoenix 0.5 is out. Amongst some other
bug fixes these version features:

  • Multiple homepages
  • Size and memory reduction
  • Performance improvements
  • Many more new themes
  • Stability improvements
  • History improvements
  • Accessibility improvements

By the way, I was expecting this release to have a new name due to
the legal problems with the other
Phoenix
. As explained in Phoenix’s website:

The truth is that we’d already had this 0.5 released
planned for awhile, so it was okay to release under the Phoenix
name. But under no circumstances will any future release be called
Phoenix.

Hep

Sergio href="http://blog.portugalmail.pt/K/archive/000166.html#000166">found
this new message server concept that might change the way we
e-communicate. In the author own words:

Hep is a message server. It’s a server in the sense
that it’s a program without a graphical user interface, that runs
in the background, waiting for other programs to connect to it over
the network. I call it a “message server” because it does things
with messages, which as far as Hep is concerned are any little bits
of text or HTML that you want to read, or save, or publish, or pass
on to somebody else, or convert into a different format, or
organize.

Fresco

Windows on steroids

Fresco is a consistent, configurable, stand alone,
modular, and device independent user interface system, formerly
known as Berlin. Fresco is based on the concept of a server side
scene graph. It uses CORBA, which results in the whole system being
network- and language transparent. To access input and output
devices low-level graphic libraries are used: We are not
implementing any device drivers ourselves.

Nice, now we just have to find an use for a 37 degrees tilted
Mozilla window:

Fresco allows for rotation, scaling, and transparancy
of application windows. It is an advanced replacement of X and
window managers.
