Leapord iCal Server to support Outlook?
Posted in Technicalon Oct 16, 2007
With the latest release of OS X Leapord being released soon, I thought I would take another look at some of the features of Leapord server. One of the things I’ve been anticipating is the new calendaring server. Apple says that the new server “works well with others,” but maybe not as well as they were first saying. It seems that Apple who was once touting Microsoft Outlook compatibility is now being quite hush about it. Consider this sentence from their old iCal Server features page:
iCal Server uses open calendaring protocols for intergrating with leading calendar programs, including iCal 3 in Leopard, Mozilla’s Sunbird, OSAF’s Chandler, and Microsoft Outook.
The same sentence recently changed to omit any reference to outlook:
iCal Server uses open calendaring protocols for intergrating with leading calendar programs, including iCal 3 in Leopard, and popular CalDAV clients from Mozilla, Open Source Application Foundation and others.

Upgraded to Wordpress 2.2
Posted in Bloggingon May 16, 2007
About 9 or 10 hours ago, Wordpress 2.2 was released and announced. Wordpress is free, open source software which used to create blogs, like this one, but can also be used as a simple content management system, like how I used it to create my mom’s business site.

Despite having a pretty cool name, Cyberduck is a pretty cool program. It is an FTP/SFTP program for Mac OS X. I like using it to upload files to my webserver using SFTP. It integrates in with my Mac operating system pretty well, and best of all, it is open source. Being open source means that I’ll never be charged for it, and I can copy and redistribute it as much as I want. I can even change part of the program if I want. Anyway, I just wanted to give a shout out and applaud those who have worked on Cyberduck and say, thanks.

Calendar Servers
Posted in Technicalon Feb 8, 2007
For work I’ve been looking into Calendar Servers to see what they are capable of doing in case we want to implement any. We already have an active directory server and mail server, so some of the groupware servers might not be the best fit for us. I’ve found four open source calendar server products, which I plan to research more:
I hope to be able to post more here when I find out more.

Google Ads
Posted in Technicalon Dec 2, 2005
Today I installed some Google Ads on my side. You will see them on the right side of this page (assuming I haven’t changed things) under all the navigation.
The biggest reason I signed up for Google Ads wasn’t for the ads, but because they will pay me money for everyone I get to install and use Firefox with the Google toolbar. Since I already encourage people to use Firefox, this seemed like a winning situation. I also like using the Google toolbar. My favorite feature of the Google toolbar is the form spell checker, so as I’m blogging here or typing in something somewhere else, I can spell check what I’ve typed. So if you are still using Internet Explorer, or you aren’t using the Google toolbar, I suggest you click here to install Firefox, a much safer and faster replacement for Internet Explorer.
