OpenOffice 2.0 Alpha for Mac

Published by ksanders under OS X, Software

OpenOffice.org has released their first Aqua based version for Mac.  Of course, in big red letters, they warn you that this version could trash your system and/or delete your data.  It is, of course, an alpha version.  However, considering how long we have waited, I think I will take the risk and try it out.

Performancing blogging utility for Firefox

Published by ksanders under Software, Main Page

I found a new add-on for Firefox recently.  It is called Performancing.  It is a pretty full-featured blogging utility that allows you to blog right within Firefox from any location on the Internet.  I had an issue trying to setup Performancing with my BlogHarbor weblog.  I did some searching and came across the Demo page at BlogHarbor.com that gives a perfect explanation of how to setup Performancing to work with BlogHarbor.

Transistr by the end of the year?

Published by ksanders under podcast, iPod, Software, Main Page

While listening to the latest TWiT #71 today, I heard Ray Slakinski, of iPodderX fame, talking about the future of Transistr. He mentioned that he and August plan to have something released by the end of the year. They have been working on bugs and trying to make it a “piece of software you would want to download and use”.


I guess we will have to wait and see what happens.
