Twitter, Lifestream and Asides

January 23rd, 2009 | Comments | Posted in geek

Thought I change things around on my blog for a little while. Instead of posting asides I thought I’d take advantage of the Lifestream plugins Daily Digest. Basically it will auto post events from my Lifestream from the last 24hours. I figure I’ll use twitter instead of asides to post quick links and thoughts instead of posting a full blog post. This will hopefully mean more frequent updates and less blog spam. :)

Sync Facebook and Outlook Contact Photos with OutSync

January 7th, 2009 | Comments | Posted in asides, geek

Sync Facebook and Outlook Contact Photos with OutSync - I started by saving Facebook profile photos and manually adding to Outlook contacts. Thinking there’s surely a application for this, I found it on Lifehacker. Outsync is simple, it matches Outlook contacts to Facebook friends and adds their photos to Outlook. Which for me means I now have most contacts on my Windows Mobile Phone with pcitures now!
