Dell HyperConnect
In: Geek Finds
28 Apr 2006I saw an ad in the NY Times this morning for Cingular’s BroadBand Connect service being coupled with the new Dell Latitudes. The ad mentioned a free year of Cingular service, but I haven’t been able to find any more info about it.
This relationship between Dell and Cingular is not exclusive. The new [...]
Voice recognition software for programmers
In: Geek Finds
28 Apr 2006I’ll be up here talking to the computer in pseudo code. Now wouldn’t that be totally geeky?
“VoiceCode lets a programmer dictate code in a more natural way, Désilets says, rapidly translating their utterances into awkward programming syntax.”
Too bad it only works for Python now.
Ugly Design (Sorta) Works
In: Good Stuff
28 Apr 2006Interesting and honest blog entry about why “pretty” isn’t necessarily better for websites.
“… design and usability do not go hand in hand. In fact, I’d throw out that your usability expert should (if possible) not have any design talent WHATSOEVER… Designers have too much emotional bias towards pretty things. This seems akin to the rule [...]
Bulk Mail Service
In: eNews
24 Apr 2006The Deli, ZingTrain, Bakehouse and most of the businesses in the ‘CoB send out regular batches of bulk mail to customers. Each business uses a different program or service, and none are very good.
ConstantContact, MailChimp, and StreamSend are some services I’ve been looking at for the businesses to use. These three are appealing [...]

The Ari-tracker
In: Geek Finds
21 Apr 2006“You simply connect it to you PC and download the data. This data can then be plotted on Google Earth, Mapquest, maps.google.com and Virtual Earth to show exactly where it’s been, how long it took and how it got there.”

ZSN-MG?
In: Work updates
21 Apr 2006Should we create a domain name for Marketing and Graphics, like what we have for IT? There’s then room, syntactically, for zsn-hr as well. It would allow them to have dedicated resources, like their own wiki or blog.
Or maybe it’s fine to just do it off of Zingtranet?
So… the IT department has a blog.
In: Work updates
21 Apr 2006We even have a vision:
The IT blog is our storehouse for news and ideas. It facilitates information flow within the IT group and with people interested in our work. It’s informative, entertaining and practical. Each member of the IT team contributes to the blog because it is easy to use. We post updates, geek finds, [...]
About this blog
The ZSN-IT site is a central place for the IT department to share the more fun and interesting aspects of our work with our clients and everyone else. This includes links to interesting tech solutions, stories about incidents, food notes, techtips, fitness counters, and whatever else we find interesting.
