nPOP –Streamlined email

I found this great little (100k) email client called npop

 

its really great especially if you normally use a clunky program like outlook it only supports pop but most mail is pop anyway …in its regular form its 100k  but if you wanted SSL encryption (ala gmail) You just download 3 DLL’s and that bumps it up to 500k ….its really easy to configure … I had it going with my gmail in about 5 seconds

This is a really nice email client especially for small things …like mailto: links   … best of all its FREEEEEEEE

I give nPOP a 9/10 if it supported imap It would have probably got a 10 …but still pretty darn good

Some cool apps

One day I was chatting in irc On irc.hak5.org to a friend of mine Tom Bell    , we were talking about how windows xp has transparency built in…and  sobody said it would be cool if you could make use of it on ANY app and not just the ones that its available on ….Tom Bell is the lead developer of Nubuntu …a coder

He replied “I can do that” and he came back 20 minutes later with this:

The same day I was tring to drag things from one window into another and they kept loosing focus and covering each other…so I asked him to make an app that make a program stay on top of others…20 minutes …came this:

Finaly…I was tired of having to minimize all the apps on my screen to look at the clock…and all the clock apps I looed at were bloated and had a bunch of things I didnt need…so tom being a crazy coder as he is rose to the challenge once again and created this:

(zoomed for better visibility…actual size is about the size of the taskbar clock)

…from now on …I will be submitting my apps in this form …
