Battle of The Mail Clients

 

I’ve been using Thunderbird lately as my email client and have been relatively happy with it. I migrated from Windows Live Mail. What attracted me the most to it was it’s ability to subscribe to RSS feeds and check for updates like it would with email accounts. However, after doing a system restore (it’s a long story) and ending up with Windows Live Mail back on my system, I discovered this client also could easily subscribe to RSS feeds. All of a sudden Thunderbird seemed less attractive to me. Windows Live Mail could do everything Thunderbird could, and a little better in my opinion. There was no reason for me to keep Thunderbird around, so it has now been uninstalled.

I’ve been recommending Windows Live Mail to Jess (my girl) countless times, and she STILL insists on using Vista’s crappy native Windows Mail. She doesn’t seem to realize that Windows Live Mail is almost identical in operation/interface, only BETTER and maintained with updates, so more secure. Ah well, I’m sure I’ll successfully persuade her eventually. :P

If you’re still with me through these rants, then you have my respect. I have other things on my mind but I’m tired so think I'm gonna go bed (for a nap at least, if not proper sleep) so they’ll have to wait for another post.

Till next time

Stay well,

Blue Dragon Review

 

 

Well, my thoughts so far at least. Had the game as a kinda Christmas present. Got it with a HMV giftcard. Now, anyone that knows me also knows I’m crazy about JRPGs. In particular, the Final Fantasy series. I have to admit though that this game hasn’t had the same addictive effect that all the others have. It’s starting off rather boring and slow paced, with many childish elements involved. I’ll still be completing it eventually, and trying to gain all of the achievements, but this may become the one and only RPG I ever end up trading in. A big disappointment really. I mean, it’s ok, but it’s nothing special (so far at least).

Lost Odyssey on the other hand, now there’s a game.

Don’t pull your hair out just yet!

 

 

Don't Panic!!

I’m meerly testing the waters at the moment. Getting used to blogging and making sure the RSS feed is running smoothly etc. So far everything seems just fine. I won’t be posting pointless crap like this in future (just other pointless crap :P), so don’t let it drive you away.

One last thing! SUBSCRIIIBE! Blogs are miles better when viewed in 3rd party applications using RSS feeds. Click the feed subscribe link and you’re away. You can use something like Thunderbird mail client or a Feed Reader of your choice. Google RSS feeds and how to subscribe if you’re totally unsure.

 

Hope to see you all subscribed soon,

Peace,

"Testing..testing..er...is this thing on?"

My very first official blog post. Whether this blog gets kept depends entirely on the amount of interest. If I even get ONE viewer/subscriber, then I may be tempted to continue this endeavour. Otherwise, bye bye feed, bye bye blog. Another idea scrapped.

hmmm...

we shall see...
