DjMagra’s stuff ‘n’ stuff

I’m a huge fan, and a huge user of the wonderful Gmail, which I use as part of Google Apps for my domain. However, I’ve been longing, and I mean longing, for as long as I can remember, for an efficent process to sycn and manage my Gmail contacts on my mac. Recently, SpanningSync have introduced Contacts sync alongside their really neat little Google Calendar Sync application, but, I have yet to try this out. However, it would appear that there is no longer a need. Google have just announced, via their mac blog that they have just introduced Address Book Sync, to go in hand with the latest OSX 10.5.3 update. I’m going to be tidying up my Google Contacts today, and heading home to try this out later on this evening to see how it all goes.

Remember however, if you are going to go do this today, to back up both your Address Book and Gmail contacts first, as it has the potential to go wrong and cause you lots of pain!!

So, a bit like Dublin Bus, you don’t see anything here for ages, then I come out with a whole heap of new posts! I suppose at some stage I should probably come up with a decent post about what I’m up to and how I’m getting on over here in Australia, but, for now, this is what I’ve got.

I’ve just heard about a new Mac application that makes browsing and using my most visited site, flickr a whole new experience. Flickery from Eternal Storms Software allows you browse and use flickr from an iPhoto like interface. It looks very, very cool. Whilst the application is currently only in beta (and is not actually available even for beta download at the moment), it does look exceptionally promising, and something that I could end up spending a lot of time using!
