Quit blocking Google Analytics.

I’ve noticed a trend, particularly among Mozilla Firefox users who have the NoScript extension installed, to block Google Analytics from running. This isn’t Google spyware, it’s a way for webmasters like yours truly to learn more about who’s interested in their site, and to find new ways to get more people interested. So be kind to your webmasters and let Google Analytics do its thing. :P

Practically Replacing Microsoft Exchange Server - A 3 Part Series - 2 of 3 - Zimbra Collaboration Suite

**** Zimbra Collaboration Suite - A Full Exchange Replacement For a long time, Zimbra has been an ‘almost but not quite’ Exchange alternative - it offered the web GUI and the Outlook compatibility, but not the standards based calendar protocol (CalDAV) or the mobile device support of its big brother. Zimbra’s latest version, which has only been in the wild for a few months, is different.

Practically Replacing Microsoft Exchange Server - A 3 Part Series - 1 of 3

Part 1 of 3: Workgroup/Corporate Collaboration - The Phantom Menace For years, workgroups and corporate environments have needed a solution that combined a mailsystem with collaborative tools, like a calendar and shared contacts. For years, this solution was only provided by Microsoft in the form of Microsoft Exchange. For years, Microsoft Exchange was bar-none the best tool for this job. It supported all the features major enterprises requested, it supported all mobile devices and had an ecosystem of products and support around it that simply made it better than all the alternatives.

Getting poor call reception on your iPhone 3G? Turn off 3G.

Here’s a good tip for you iPhone 3G users: 3G network coverage in many parts of North America is quite poor, even though coverage maps may indicate otherwise. While 3G is the big hype, especially since the release of Apple’s 3G handset came out, its deployment in the New World (and even some parts of Europe) isn’t sufficient to support largescale use of network intensive devices like the iPhone. So: If you’re finding really poor call quality, dropped calls and generally poor data performance on your iPhone 3G, go into Settings > General > Network and turn off 3G Networking.

WordPress for iPhone

This is my first post from the iPhone. It’s been a long time in coming, and there have been several hangups. The 2.0 iPhone firmware presented me with the App Store, and the WordPress iPhone app appeared shortly afterward. Thing is, the app crashes repeatedly when I enter my login info. Once I’ve figured out why, I’ll update this post. Meantime, I’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.6 and am using the WPhone plugin.
