Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I'm Windows/Chrome & Windows Phone but it looks like Microsoft just acquired Sunrise so I guess that should work. I will check it out.
I basically want nothing going through Google so I need a full mail substitute, but Gmail is only a personal address not work or my online default so it doesn't have to be particularly fancy.
I've been meaning to leave Google forever (and moved my blog ages ago), I just figured I'd do it when they inevitably forced me to join Google+ and they never did. But the stupid forced birthday calendar sent me over the edge.
Hey, Drew, did the Protools 11 compatibility thing with the Waves plugins get resolved? I think my incoming laptop will only run 11, but I wanted to make sure before I upgraded the desktop.
Sorry I'm late in answering this. Yes, it all works now, you just need to update to the AAX version of the plugs. I'm running the full Mercury bundle on PT 11 on two machines now, and the latest versions of PT also behave with Yosemite.
I've also found Outlook.com to be a very decent mail service, with a solid online experience. Never thought I'd say that about MS email!
Outlook is what I use for work actually. I do prefer it to both Gmail and Yahoo, though it's not great with formatting cut and paste.
I've heard really great things about the new Outlook for iOS app - it's not an MS product, it's one they bought, but it's supposed to be the best Gmail client out there right now.
Outlook the client, or outlook the domain? Either way, solid service. I agree with Jessica, Accompli is a solid product with promise.
Great, Drew, thanks. I still have to figure out what I'm doing, because I bought a sweet new laptop, but I need to decide if I'm going to try to run 11 on it, and if so, what I'm going to do with the version on desktop.
If the new laptop us running Yosemite, then you are sort of stuck moving up to PT 11.
Ayup. Or not using pro tools on it, but where's the fun in that? Although it means buying a second copy of pt and I don't have a portable interface although I need to replace the tascam anyway. So. Costs.
I'm looking for something I am certain should exist. I want to figure out where best to plant trees for shade based on my location and home alignment. Cause the Earth moves in relation to the sun and shading myself in winter is less key than summer. If I could figure out where to plant for afternoon summer sun, even better.
