I've tested the beta-version of the next version of Netvibes and I like it. It's fast and the news reader is, to me, a good alternative to Google Reader. Google Reader is another beast all together, of course, but Netvibes is looking better and better.

Under the hood they are using Tokyo Tyrant: speed and disk space are the reasons. Regardless its working pretty good and I've yet to find any bugs at all. IE6 doesn't look like it is compatible but who uses that old fart anyway?

Scratch the previous post about me completely switching to OpenOffice - Microsoft released the technical preview of Office 2010 to the public last night and that obviously changes a lot of things.

This beta will allow anyone who chooses it to use Office 2010 for free, legitimately, until the retail version is released. To be exact, people will be able to use the beta until October 31, 2010 (got that date from the license agreement). 

And of course I am in! Who can say no to free and legal Office 2010? I sure can't. OpenOffice can wait until November 1 of next year.

I haven't tried it out a lot yet, but I like what I am seeing so far in Office 2010. The ribbon interface is now suite-wide, and overall, the whole suite looks cleaner and more stream-lined. And startup is so much better than in Office 2007, although I can't be sure if that's because of Office 2007's faults or because my copy of Office 2007 was unlicensed (and therefore never received any Microsoft updates).

Anyway, on top of Office 2010, I also just installed Autodesk's AutoCAD 2010. I haven't activated the thing yet so it's still on 30-day trial, but when I do decide to activate it, I will be using a legitimate student license. So I have legal copies of both AutoCAD 2010 and Office 2010, two things a broke student like me would never be able to afford in the real world.

By the way, I downloaded AutoCAD over the web, and the installer was about two gigabytes big. I first tried BitComet to manage the download (download managers let you pause and resume your web downloads), but for some stupid reason it would not finish my download, even after a week. It was also a complete resource-hog, slowing down every other program and eating up my battery like a crazy pig. I switched to a different download manager, CNET-recommended FlashGet, which was awesome. It was a very smooth download, and was fast too. I would definitely recommend FlashGet.

 The beta of Office 2010 can be downloaded from the Microsoft website or from CNET's download.com. Let's all enjoy this blessing while it lasts.

Bevor ihr fragt - nein, eigentlich benötige ich kein Office 2010. Zumindest nicht privat und schon gar nicht auf dem Mac in einer virtuellen Maschine. Aber da ich von Natur aus neugierig bin, scheue ich keinen Download von knapp 700MB, auch nicht das Vergrößern der VM mit vorherigem Löschen aller Snapshots.

Wie lange kann Outlook eigentlich schon automatisch die Servereinstellungen herausfinden? Nette Sache.

Das SmartReader des neuen NetVibes Wasabi gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut. Neben einem sehr übersichtlichen ListView haben die Entwickler noch eine Mosaic-Ansicht spendiert. Den bislang bekannten Widgets-Mode gibt es ebenfalls noch. Im Moment ist das noch eine closed Beta, die aber schon gut funktioniert (ich persönlich hab noch keine Probleme festgestellt). Am 9. Dezember wird das neue NetVibes auf der LeWeb in Paris gelaunched

Dzisiaj pierwszy raz od kilku tygodni zalogowałem się na stronie webowej Twittera i tu niespodzianka: zostałem wybrany do grupy testerów nowej usługi czyli dużo prostszego retweeta. 


Trochę mnie to rozbawiło, bo od dawna używam innych narzędzi do twittowania i takie gadżety mam na codzień :-) Ale... po chwili zorientowałem się, że to nie jest tylko prosty ReTweet. Po pierwsze jak kliknę na ikonkę (lub napis) to pojawia się proste menu
 

Fajne, że mnie informuje :-) Druga różnica to możliwość śledzenia ReTweetów cudzych, własnych i tych, które mnie retweetowały :-) Pozwala na to okienko, które ujrzymy po kliknięciu na lin Retweets po prawej stronie ekranu. Znajdziemy tu trzy zakładki:
  1. Retweety osób, które śledzimy (Follow)
  2. Moje Retweety
  3. Twoje Retweety, które ktoś przesłał dalej

 
Jeszcze niedawno byłem fanem Seesmica w różnych wersjach: desktop i webowej, jednak ostatnio przekonałem się, a raczej przekonał mnie jakieś porównanie Seesmica i TweetDecka, do tego ostatniego. Generalnie TweetDeck jest lepszy, wygodniejszy i co najważniejsze szybszy od Seesmica. Teraz pewnie na kilka dni wrócę do webowego Twittera.
