Well, I decided to sign up for Google App’s to see how I liked it. So far playing around with it has been nice. I have my email setup there and am slowly getting contacts added for GTalk. It’s also neat since you can do some simple customizations like adding you’re own logo.
This actually came at a pretty good time hopefully. I had been searching for a calendar option somewhat, and Google Calendar is pretty decent for my purposes, so having my email and calendar all wrapped up together will do nicely. I was also able to move some of my common documents I like to have floating around with me (such as my resume) moved over to my Documents. It’s not MS-Office (that’s not really meant as a compliment to MS), but it’ll do well for my purposes. It may not all be as robust, but it has the features that I need most commonly. I should be able to figure things out for the other times.I’ll let you know how things go. Let’s just hope that my old problems don’t return, heh.
I am a Web Developer located in Richmond, VA. Primarily, I work on the back-end of websites utilizing my database and desktop application coding experience from the past to achieve desired results for the user interface. Recently however I have started moving more into the UI realm, utilizing JavaScript and AJAX to allow for better performance out of the back-end systems.
