Updated: I need a Gmail invitation
I never bothered to get a Gmail account because we have our own mail servers and I didn’t have a need for an external account. But one of our customers doesn’t get our emails (they probably end up in the spam folder) and I would like to mail him from an external account like Gmail. [...]

MyLife Organized todo and GTD software
I have been looking for software to use the Getting Things Done time management techniques with my O2 Xda mini S (I think it’s O2′s equivalent to the QTek 9100) and finally found a rather good one: MyLife Organized.

Software activation and registration servers
I have two computers at two different locations that I regularly use and I installed Windows Vista on one of them yesterday (more about my first Vista impressions in a later posting).

Becoming a Borland Technology Partner
We just became a Borland Technology Partner. We have tried to become a partner for a long time now and were finally accepted into the program.

This is now a WordPress blog
We just ported this blog from our custom PHP code to WordPress. We initially wrote our own small blog engine and used phpMyAdmin to publish our postings. We wanted to write our own admin website for this blog, but we never had the time doing it. I think it’s sufficient to say that it was [...]
