Thanks Birdy!

So previously on post, my old buddy is leaving, I have to move all internet environment to my work PC... shoot i didnt wanna do them all in one comp. but no choice now.

But go bright side --
"Look around outside. History is moving forward itself".
Easy come, easy go.

I found a lot of helpful stuffs i was aching when i was mainly a Win user until a few years ago. I'll intro the fish&tips to you guys...


Skylian
Developing Skype plugin for Trillian, the well-known multi-account chat system. If you use Trillian Pro & wanted to use Skype with it, it's good to try. Although it's still developing & not yet work by stand-alone in Trillian (needs to launch Skype on background) it doesn't stress me out by going back-n-forth btwn the softwares.
And while you're at it, this is the tips to make Trillian portable...
TrillianAnywhere.com

Extra: u can make Skype portable too... >> PortableApps.com , Japanese site

as i said ALL internet env is moving on, so is EMail stuffs.

Thunderbird Portable (from PortableApps.com)
They work for Thunderbird to make it portable. u can take the birdy everywhere in a removable storage. I chose it bcz Mozilla architectures keep developing & we can customize it pretty much with cool add-ons.

Litghtning - the Thunderbird add-on
Since I was Microsoft Entourage user, I wanna use calendar with the mailer. Then bingo, there's the extention to make his wings wider :D

For more thing, I was impressed with this...

Provider for Google Calendar
as says in the name, Synchronizer between Thunderbird & Google Calendar.
the bird takes a look at the updates from OR upload the local changes right away to Google side via XML database.


vCard Converter
Converter for Addressbook. It converts vCard (vcf) to LDIF or CSV file type. Although it just runs on PHP server, very helpful to import from Entourage to Thunderbird. There's also CSV type for Gmail Addressbook.


ImportExport Tools
Helped a lot to transfer Entourage mail data (MBOX file type) to the birdy. It can convert variety types (cf. link for detail) plus it never misses sub folders under a folder if the MBOX file contains them. Kewl :)

There're some more stuffs, but those are Japanese tools & getting so geeky, so i stop it
For guys who're interested, TRY IT!
