With lot of curiosity I download the Internet Explorer RC 1 and tested it for Acid test 3.
It failed horribly 
and thanks to Microsoft for following standards. In the same time Safari 4 public beta is by far the only browser I know which has passed acid test 3 100%
I thinks it is high time for Microsoft to use Webkit for their browser 
MailTags is one of the best plugin I ever used for my Mail application. I found this plugin when I had to organize my inbox with follow ups and todos. The plugin intergration with the application is very good.
Integrated Interface – Use MailTags’ convenient side panel to add tags keywords, project, priority, notes to your messages. Use contextual menus to tag several messages at the same time. All of MailTags interfaces feel built in, not added on.
IMAP Support – Save your tags to your IMAP servers so you can access them from multiple computers.
List Display – Display your tags in extra columns in the message list view. See due dates as they approach.
Works with Mail’s Smart Mailboxes – Build smart mailboxes that search your messages for keywords, projects and even due dates.
Works with Mail’s Rules – Set tags automatically as you receive Mail by using MailTags actions when creating a Mail rule. Use with Mail Act-On to create keystroke rules to tag messages.
Works with Mail’s Search – Search for your tags by using Mail’s search field, narrow the search to keywords, projects or notes. Use simple and/or logic to find tags.
Tag Mail 3.0 Notes – Create a note for yourself with Mail 3.0 notes feature and tag it with projects, keywords, tickle dates and priorities for future reference. Find those notes in smart mailboxes.
RSS support – Tag news items for future reference. Ideal for workflow management where a RSS subscription notifies you of forum posts, support requests or tasks.
iCal Support – Create To Dos and Events in iCal directly from Mail and maintain the link between the original message and the items in iCal.
Send Tags in Messages – Not only can you tag your outgoing mail for your purpose, you can send tags with the messages to create an informal workflow with your recipients.
Incoming Reply Tagging – Automatically copy tags from earlier messages when receiving replies. Maintain tags in a discussion even if the other correspondent doesn’t have MailTags.
Add functionality with Extras – MailTags new extensible architecture means that you will be able to add functionality to MailTags by adding an Extra. Planned extras include components that work with Google Calendar, TaDa list and other web based task/event management system. We plan to publish an Extras SDK so others can extend MailTags.
Applescript Compatible – Construct Applescript work flows that access your MailTags data to use them in other applications.
All for just 30$. Real worth for money
Yesterday Ubuntu team released 8.04 LTS for both desktop and server. I had parallels desktop for mac in 30 days evalution. I installed the new Ubuntu in parallels. I crashed 2 times whiles installtion was happening. It was not starting properly. After 3 tries I managed to install the OS. While I am opening some application the parallels kept crashing. So I decided to ditch parallels and downloaded the latest release of VMware.
The installation of Ubuntu was sweet. It went through without any issues. I can feel that VMware was much better to parallels in terms of memory management too. When I parallels my mac becomes very slow. Now it was not case. It manages the memory really well.
In parallels my Ubuntu installation will never used to get power off properly. In VMware everything worked as it is supposed to work. I was not able to enable the desktop effects. I think I should install some drivers for Ubuntu to enable the same. I will dig into this issues and update it latter.
I am really happy and satisfied with VMware virtualization software over Parallels. If anyone is planning to buy Parallels just give it a thought and it a very bad choice and waste of money. I think I will purchase VMware after the evaluation period is over 
Today I wanted install windows over Bootcamp. I totally forgot I got to have the Leopard DVD for me to install windows drivers. I had left my DVD in Sharjah. So after installing windows I boot back to OSX and started to search of the windows drivers. I could not get any drivers. It was frustrating that I could not find any of the drivers. Some blogs had some post regarding this and nothing could help me out.
Apple should be giving direct downloads for these drivers from their website. Or link location where people can download the drivers if they have lost of misplaced the installation CDs.
If you anyone had luck in installing the drivers for windows for Macbook pro please drop me a line how you did it 
Today I upgraded my blog to latest WordPress 2.5. You have no idea what they have done to the WordPress. It is really great and lovely. I really like the new interface and media manager integration. Most of the functionalities what my organizer plugin did is of no use now. Thanks to WordPress team
After a very long time I sat down and update the pda plugin. While doing so I got little greedy and tried to add a simple iPhone theme to it. It is far away from beta version. Still lot more to go. I am still finding a best method to do the plugin with nice ajax features and animation what iPhone would support. Still far more to go on the theme. For a 4 hours of work it works pretty well. I know what are all the bugs in it but I will try to mend it and release a new version end of next week.
wp-pda plugin is now fully compactible with latest WordPress 2.5. I would like to get feedback from you all. Thanks for supporting the plugin so far
You can download the plugin from here.

Today I got the chance install my won copy of Office 2008 for mac. The installation was pretty simple and removed my old crapy 2004 from the system. My biggest expectation for Office 2008 was Entourage.
At work we use exchange and iMail does a good job but not up to the mark. The office for windows had so many feature which was missing in Mac. So it made lot of people to think a lot to move to mac and who ever moved to suffered a lot one such is myself.
This version is an solves all the problems for people who use mac @ work. I will be really glad If I can voice chat using yahoo, msn. Still it is not there and it is pretty sad
Did I forget to mention, it is really fast
