Why are you still using an email client?
Posted on May 19th, 2011 in Technology
Years ago I moved to an email server accessible from my iPhone, laptop, netbook, notepad or desktop computer. Initially this was achieved by using the IMAP protocol which was supported by MS Outlook, Thunderbird, Mail.app and many other email clients on my various machines. I had configured each client to bcc: myself in order to ensure my sent mail was always available (not every client handled sent-mail correctly).
For the last 3 years I’ve used an entirely hosted solution, currently gmail. My email is always available on whatever machine I’m using. I am aware of privacy and security risks (a topic for a future post).

Relationship Completer Mac AddressBook Plugin
Posted on June 11th, 2008 in Apple
I’ve just installed Relationship Completer on my MacBook to help organise my addressbook better. It lets me link cards using the relationships attributes built into AddressBook and does away with data entry duplication.
Given the iPhone is coming to Australia, and how great MobileMe looks, I’m relying more and more on synchronization tools.
Check it out.
