Roundcube email client
Wow! You must check out Roundcube. An open source project that doesn’t look like garbage, and is really usable. What’s next, cat’s and dogs living together?
This project looks like it is going to kick some serious ass. A useable, easy to install, configurable PHP/MySQL email client with lots of AJAX goodies. What’s not to like?…
Bright Eyes and Sons and Daughters
So I journeyed down to Bellingham last night to see the Bright Eyes and Sons and Daughters concert. Both shows were enjoyable, if somewhat erratic. Highlights include Sons and Daughters wicked Glasgow accents, and some idiot from the crowd shouting out “Slit your wrists already!”, during a introspective Bright Eyes song. Yikes! That’s a friendly crowd!
Yahoo! maps move forward
Yahoo! has released a slew of new mapping stuff. Rasmus points out that although the map site itself is nice looking, the killer feature is that (unlike google maps) the geocoder api is exposed. Rasmus also goes on to show a few tricks on using the new api.
It still looks like this is only for the US though, so if you need to include Canadian locations in your application, you might want to tie in services from sites like geocoder.ca. I’m also not sure how much easier Yahoo!’s service is to use then the geocoder at geocoder.com. I might play with this in some of the mapping stuff I’ve been doing with Drupal.
Speaking of neat applications that use the new Yahoo! Map API, make sure to check out Chris’s design work on this cool train finder site. It almost makes me want to move to San Fran just so I can use it…
