Firefox and other stuff

By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 13-Feb-2004

Well, if you haven’t read about this already, where have you been?
The Mozilla project has released a new version of their Firebird browser (a couple of weeks behind schedule, I think [ ;) ] but anyway). The big news is … that they renamed it again. Meet Mozilla’s Firefox browser Hopefully, this will be the last such renaming; they’ve applied for the trademark this time. [ :-p ]

To make this post worth mentioning, let me point you at a couple of other cool free downloads I haven’t had time to post.

DateLens is an outlook calendar interface you just have to see … (watch the video if you don’t think it’s worth downloading, or if you don’t have Outlook)

Outclass is a free bayesian filter for Outlook. It’s actually just a plugin, it uses POPFile for the heavy lifting, which is awesome! I love POPFile because you can set up multiple categories (called buckets) for your email, not just spam/not-spam. And it’s over 99% effective on my email at home (now that I’ve got it trained), even with 8 categories set up.

CounterPoint is pretty cool too, it’s a Java based plugin for Microsoft Powerpoint … it lets you try a whole new way of navigating your slideshows. It’s rather slow, but it’s still very cool, especially when I consider that the technology behind it has now been released in a (very slick) .NET beta and is available under the Mozilla Public License for anyone to use in their products!

About Huddled Masses

This is web site is dedicated to the musings of Joel Bennett (aka Jaykul) about technology, software, software development, the web, and the world.

Any resemblance of the views expressed and the views of my employer, my terminal, or the view out my window are purely coincidental. The resemblance between them and my own views is non-deterministic. The question of the existence of views in the absence of anyone to hold them is left as an exercise for the reader.

P.S.: I occasionally link to things I think are great. When I do, I occasionally find a "referral code" so I can make a little cash. I promise that I don't link to anything just because of that cash (I wouldn't cross the street for the amount of cash those links bring in, never mind write a whole blog post) ... but I do not promise that things I link to will stay great as time passes, nor that you will agree with me about their greatness!
