Meet Sandy | 43 Folders

Meet Sandy | 43 Folders
Yea know I could use a gal like her. Sandy is an automated assistant and a lot more attractive than Mr Clippy, I found her in the clasic 43 folders blog and Just hired her..(free of charge) you can kind of say she's on probation. This may be a cool idea and certainly now that I have headed back to email. The premise is You are to let Sandy know your appointments and she will email you reminders I can certainly see this service taking off. this was my correspondence with sandy this far I emailed her to remind me to finish this post.

Butch to Sandy > Remind me to finish your blog post at 2:30 am

Sandy to Butch >Hello, Butch! You asked me to remind you about something -- relax and leave it to me!

Sandy to Butch > Hola, Butch! Psssst! Here's your reminder: #1 2:30am Finish your blog post- email reminder at 2:15am

Now Sandy can also text/sms you to you mobile or send to another email account, Sandy also works with Jott (which i don't use) But she can also send you stuff out on your Twitter very hip this Sandy Gal. Also when I log into her website I can down-load my appointments and put it straight into Kontact Calender. I think this a a great way to set up reminders with a sort of personal touch. She recognizes short commands like remind and remember that you put in your email to her. very cool.

Next week I will publish her evaluation, and let you know how she did. My expectations are: like most things in the organized World, your only going to get out of it what you put into it. But I'll give the gal a break

Disposable Digital storage ?

Sandisk is now coming out with disposable write once storage, is this changing anything, I dont think so. there are really only two reasons I can see how this will work. For one if your going on vacation and want a back up just in case, and two if you put some music on it and place it in your PDA which no one ever seams to have any more (except on ebey) ... I got this story from Endgaget written by Thomas Ricker

The gOS is out on cd

I'm now running the gOS they finally shrank it down under 700 megs so you can put it on cd, now m not going to spew a lot of blah blah because I just started to use it this morning. I haven't even loaded it into my desk top yet. But my first impression is: This is going to certainly could compete in the mass market, the only trouble I have is when you change the desk top around you can loose your way in the shuffle, if they put a default button for the settings to bring it to the as is in the opening screen that would be great.

you can get it from of course a link in distro watch (excellent linux site)

New Skype For Linux wohooo

One of the things I had to give up when i made the move to linux is the video confrencing with my father now Skype is offering a new version of Skype which will allow some cams to work with skype again. Although this is new and with that comes the same old warning. I installed it today running mandriva very cool ... so I guess Ill be seeing you (literally)

Google Earth gets weather, new layer layout - Download Squad

Google Earth gets weather, new layer layout - Download Squad
From What I read in the Download Squad submitted by Brad Linder this New layer option will allow you to view the weather updated by both Weather.com and the Naval Research laboratory in Monterey.

If you haven't checked out the new version of Google Earth I would highly recommend it, the Google Sky could keep you busy for hours at a time.

Now you can check out the weather as well ... Nice!
