Sync your Google Calendar with your Microsoft Outlook calendar

I already use this with my blackberry which is automatically sync Google calendar with my phone and it works both ways so great, but now even better way Google just released another tool that will sync with Outlook.

 

I use it with Outlook 2007 and what ever changes I make on any of this will reflect in all my calendar which is kind a cool. 

Linux alternative to Exchange

While I\’m reading digg come a cross this link It\’s basically a Exchange alternative in Linux I haven\’t tried it, downloading as I type this but looks very interesting.  Exchange 2007 have many features but comes with a heavy price. And competition is always good. might be ideal for small businesses. \"unison\"

 

Any way I\’ll update it soon as I know try and use it on my Virtual machine 

Internet explorer 8

Windows Live writer

I love WordPress but It\’s always been really slow to publish some thing. I found a new way now windows live writer. It works really well with wp it\’s even download the style sheets so even  before I publish I  know how it\’s gone look. Writing this post on that.

Setting up is really easy, all it need is a weblog\’s webaddress user name and password it will do the rest I give 9/10. I don\’t write a lot but will help people who write lot of pages

Terminal Services RemoteApp on Windows Server 2008

Wow,  what a feature , basically It will allow application to run on the server with out users knowing they are running it from the server. As far as they concern It\’s look and feel like their local app but it doesn\’t use any local resources,  it\’s actually terminal session under the hood.  I played with office 2003 (need a volume license )under server 2008 works really well with vista I haven\’t tried with xp but I been told it will work with xp sp 3 (haven\’t tried)

Application of this technology are  limitless  say a large/medium  organizations  can manage few of  this servers and users can use any old pc and  works faster, all data are  safe no need to running around upgreading ram on users pcs and see why it\’s running slow etc, if face users don\’t even need a pc they can be managed with thin clients.

I not big fan of this things as generally this things slow a computer down etc. to my surprise this worked really well I only had 256mb set to the virtual xp still I didn’t notice any noticeable performance hit and comes off very easy . I like it so much I bought it :$ even though I’m not gone use it on my main machine 😀
