New in Gmail – IMAP Access is Here

gmail imap 2

I haven’t had a chance to setup my email program to use IMAP instead of POP access but I’m ready to do it. It is available on my Gmail account as well as my evanwilder.com mail through Google Apps. Are you going to switch your desktop email client to IMAP? If you’re not excited you probably don’t know why IMAP is so cool. Read more on this in the links.

Browsing the Web with My Voice

Something about the way I have been using my keyboards at home and at work have stressed out my wrists. My left wrist and my pinky finger are sore and because of that I’m trying to use the keyboard less than usual.

So tonight I used my voice recognition software Dragon NaturallySpeaking to work on some documents and e-mail. After I completed those I felt like I was on a roll and wondered if I could use my skills at the program to browse the Internet. I looked for some blogs or someone who had put together some tips for that and everything I found seemed to be complaints about the program.

While the program does have its occasional quirks I have found it to be reliable and amazingly accurate. To show you what I mean I recorded a little demo of me using the Internet just my voice (to watch click the play button on the image below, then click it again on the page that opens)
