Xobni - interesting Outlook addin
I live a good part of my life by Outlook.
For work it is absolutely indispensable. We don’t have Exchange or anything fancy like that, but it keeps my entire calendar, an extensive task list, and all of the 200-300 emails I receive in a typical day.

Firefox Tips
The more I use Firefox as my web browser, the more I appreciate the thought and effort put into it.
On the rare occasion I have to use IE (6 or 7), I feel like I’m going back into the stone age of web browsing.
But… one of the minor frustrations with FF is how so many cool features are not really well documented. Which is why I’m always on the lookout for article like this one…
