Open Source/Standards Applications
We know these well. We use them every day. We also use Microsoft products extensively.
This page is being overhauled, pardon our mess.

Why you shouldn't rely on Google, Amazon AWS or Yahoo for your desktop/server-side functions:
Google Kills Desktop Search and Gadgets
Google To Shut Down 10 Products
Google To Rebrand Blogger & Picasa For Google+ Integration
Google Shuts Down more

WEB CLIENT APPLICATIONS

 

 Mozilla logo
The road forward in Mozilla is to use Thunderbird, Firefox and Sunbird as shown below. Remove Mozilla Suite now and upgrade to FF and TB (with Lightning) and SB.
Firefox logo
Want even more from a browser? Try the latest offering from the Mozilla stable – Firefox. It’s fast and flexible and is the replacement to the Mozilla browser.

Handy Extensions (aka "Add-ons") for Firefox:

Forecastfox
Chatzilla
ReLoadEvery
Download Manager Tweak
Image Zoom
Booksmarks Synchronizer
Bookmark Sync and Sort (seems better)
Showcase
ConQuery
FireFTP
Gspace
PropFire FoxClocks  InfoLister
LinkChecker
Colourful tabs
Adblock Plus
Locate in Bookmarks Folders

Flagfox - more than just a flag! ……and the not-so Handy Extensions for Firefox:
RSS Editor Awful, maybe it’ll be fixed!



Newest FF Themes and Add-ons can be found at 
Latest updates for FF Themes and Add-ons can be found at

Themes: (how buttons look, etc.)  Many themes are pretty tiring, the recent default themes for FF are not very good. You can make FF look like FF1.5 by using the StrataStripe theme.


My installed Add-Ons
To make many things work in FF you will need Plug-ins:
Very nice VRML plug-in  (3D space viewing) not that important
The Most Important Ones   (without these you will be asked to install Java plug-in, etc.)
Thunderbird logo
Want even more from an email client? Try the latest offering from the Mozilla stable – Thunderbird. It’s fast and flexible and is the replacement to the Mozilla email client.
 
Direct access to Address Book without opening Thunderbird.
Create a shortcut and have it open:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -addressbook

Handy Extensions for Thunderbird:
enigmail – secure email between parties requires GnuPG
FoxClocks
ConQuery
Addressbooks Synchroniser
Lightning
 
Display Mail Route – very useful – proves that that “PayPal” warning came from Thailand!
Display Mail User Agent  - shows what software sent the message – often tells you that it was a bulk mailer and not an individual.
Clippings
Mnenhy

My installed Add-Ons
Sunbird logo
A good iCalendar format program.

Last public release made, transfer to Lightning



Try Google Chrome browser. Fast. Simple. Not for the power user (yet).
The Open Source is hiding here.



Zimbra logo
Zimbra is an Open Source e-mail client with Enterprise-type features. Just been purchased by VMware (good company).
 
 Opera - Open Standards browser and email client

Probably not. However, you should test your code against it. Just to be sure.

 
 Amaya - Open Source browser and editor
 
 Chandler Project - Open Source Notes, Calendar, Task and Event Client (Hub server available too).

Google logo
Not the Google version, please read on.
PhpSitemapNG
 
A sitemap generator which works! Easily used to send sitemap information (using cron) automatically to Google Sitemaps. Cron involves using Lynx if your PHP is part of Apache as opposed to a CGI install. Ours is Apache, making Lynx work with cron was easy. The Google Python version is very cumbersome and doesn’t site crawl.
