Automatically Start Sunbird

I’ve been using Sunbird for quite some time now and thought that people might be wondering about the same question I asked a few days after installing the stand-alone calendar from Mozilla. How can I make it run when windows starts?

Well, the answer is very simple actually. Just go to the installation folder, create a shortcut for Sunbird.exe and place it inside the startup folder.

The installation folder should be in “C:\Program Files\Mozilla Sunbird\sunbird.exe”, while the startup folder should be in “C:\Documents and Settings\Girard\Start Menu\Programs\Startup”

Ubuntu Applications I Use

A list of the applications I have… just so I don’t forget them.

jUploadr – a photo uploading tool for my Flickr account

Gyachi – i hope i don’t loose this thread though

Gnome Blog – I’m using this right now…

ubuntu-restricted-extras – as of ubuntu 7.10, all restricted formats and plugins have been included in one convenient package

GShutdown – auto shutdown/restart… nice.

keepass-x – password manager that plays well with the one i use on xp (keepass)

Avast – …because I still exchange files with windows

Gparted – partition editor

SBackup – backup

Firestarter – firewall

xmms – i wonder why this was removed from the default installation of ubuntu

Beagle – desktop search

gnome-blog and wordpress

i got this new blogging software from the repos of ubuntu and it does a wonderful job. this is my test post using the application. it’s simple and simply works. all you have to do is to add xmlrpc.php so that:

http://yourname.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php

is in the blog base url of the preferences.

to the end of your blog url and it’s supposed to work smoothly… well at least it did for me…

here’s a screenshot of the window while making this post:

edit: the picture was supposed to have been uploaded also, but it didn’t show up in the actual entry though…

my phone explorer

i finally found an excellent application that would synchronize all the data from my k800i: My Phone Explorer

it can handle synchronization of contacts from both SIM and PHONE, calendar appointments, messages, call history, even tasks and notes!

OOo 2.3 is out!

check out the release notes at www.openoffice.org. most notable of course is the inclusion of the Tagalog Dictionary in the language list. but they left out tagalog being set as the default language for documents. filed a bug report already.

you can still do spell checks for single words using the drop down list though…

pfffft….
