This new release of Entourage — Microsoft’s e-mail client with personal information management tools — introduces interoperability with Microsoft Exchange Server. Exchange Server is used as a collaborative scheduling and messaging tool in business environments. [MacCentral]

It’s out as scheduled (11am EST). Email seems to work fine, Calendar is funky… I can’t get the scheduling to work properly to show available time for people on our network. May be a bug, or just some secret setting we are missing. Other than this addition, HTML messages seem to render a bit quicker though all else seems to remain the same.

So, I can’t help but play with software…

I’ve been messing with Firebird and Mozilla and really think I am beginning to favor Mozilla to Safari as my browser of choice.

Trying to get into the WikiWeb as well… what do you use? I’ve tried Twiki, MoinMoin, SnipSnap, VoodooPad and Tinderbox…

I’ve yet to give Tinderbox a fair shot, but it seems pretty complex and yet comprehensive as well. According to a comment posted by Mark Bernstein, from Eastgate Systems, you can write locally and then move pages back and forth between your system and your hosted wiki.

this is something i’ve wanted to see for a while, and kind of have working in IE… who wants to help him build it? [anil dash’s daily links]

Cool stuff… Can’t wait to see it in Moz.

Mozilla ThunderBird, an enhancement on Mozilla’s mail component, has reached it’s first milestone release. I recommend that everyone at least give it a try, you’ll be surprised.

Indeed – it is quite nice! hard to believe it is only a 0.1 release. Since I’ve switched over to IMAP it is much easier to explore new email clients. This looks like a real winner, even in such an early stage.

I guess I’ll skip doing a right-click MT It! Firebird extension, because Ben Goodger has a far better idea. As I understand it, Web Panels will be Firebird’s version of the Mozilla/Netscape Sidebar. If, like me, you mostly associate that with the AOLish push content and stock quotes that shipped as the default Sidebars in Netscape, it’s time to think again.

Glider Pro is now free. Since Casady & Greene went bankrupt, the rights to the game Glider have reverted to the author, John Calhoun. He decided to make the games available as free downloads from his homepage. [MacMegasite] [dws.]

ROCK ON! Just got an email announcement from Eastgate announcing the release of Tinderbox 2 AND of the Tinderbox Wiki which should be doubly interesting. (I REALLY hope the wiki is a new feature of Tbox. That would make this old geek very very happy.)

I’ve been playing with various Wiki systems and while there is a Wiki for Tinderbox, it is not based on Tinderbox itself which tells me that like VoodooPad, it is simply still a local system, that can export to html.
