Martin has just completed a blog parade started about Web browser. As I leave out any opportunity to pay homage to my favorite browser Opera, I'll do it at this point. Here are my answers to his questions.

First What browser are you using?
Opera as a browser, Opera as a mail client, news reader and Opera as Opera as Bittorrent client. And if not Opera, then Firefox. Because everything is better than Internet Explorer.

Second Your Home?
I start with a blank page.

Third Do you have toolbars installed?
no

4th What add-ons are installed and active?
Add-ons I have for Firefox. Since it is the Web Developer, Firebug and Selenium for Web development.

5th Do you use the default theme?
Only for Firefox (iFox), the Opera is nice enough :-)

6th Place shortly before any extension that will appear most useful and important!
For Opera, I do not need extensions. He is the "fastest browser in the world", is completely controlled via the keyboard (of course, but also to mouse gestures) and the tab browsing is the best around and that under any operating system. I do not need to work everyday.
The add-ons for Firefox, I've listed above and they are really very useful for web development.

As I just now at blog-parade.de would have read iKA know what uses the blog community as a mail user agent (MUA).
This is a nice occasion once again sing the praises of my "Norwegian IT army knife" of the Opera.
The main advantages for me is that he really cope with a lot of mail coming and they do not like Outlook stores, in a single file but in the known Unix mbox format. Since I work with Windows (office), Linux (business and private) and soon also with MacOS (private) work, I can access my mail platform independent. This part of all Microsoft products. In addition, Outlook comes with a mail Storm cope very badly. Anyone who has ever experienced this and was due to the shortcomings of Outlook for 2 days to pick up any mail until the mail had reduced the admin account on the mail server that willingly dispenses with the additional components such as calendars and task management.

So now I have enough cursing to Outlook. Here in brief are the pros and cons of Opera Mail.

Benefits

  • across platforms, e-mails in the same format on Windows, Linux and MacOS
  • can handle large amounts of mail and does not manage them in a large file
  • on the e-mails can be extensive filtering (with regular expressions) set so that the mail is physically present only once, but she appears in several virtual folders
  • gets along with both POP3 and IMAP
  • Mails can be the basis of contact, find the type of labels or attachments very quickly
  • high performance
  • Perfect integration into my favorite browser
  • not to forget and news feeds and mailing lists supported

Disadvantages

  • The search function could be more comfortable
  • lack of calendar and task management component, but this is not the ordinary tasks of a mail client

Benedict has a general survey blog started when it comes to processing the flood of information.
Quote:

In this age of cell phones, telephones, TV, computer, etc. increases the supply of information of any kind whether classical through newspapers and the 20 clock news, or the modern RSS-reader, any use of the information he needs.
But exactly how the individual is finished? You will learn so you can form your own opinion and get involved in discussions actively. [...]

The questions in detail:

  • How do you accomplish the increasing flood of information, or you will inform you at all regularly at the news from around the world?
    I use the treatment of "serious" media to give me an overview.
  • If so, how does that happen? What medium are you referring to the latest news?
    For news from around the world do I use the more traditional media like radio and TV but no daily newspaper. Messages that the IT - world I refer concern from the Internet. The newsreader is indispensable.
  • What messages are important to you? What can you do without?
    Important to me is news from around the world, especially the IT world, so I make my living. I do not need to soap operas.
  • How long do you spend a day studying this news?
    About. 1 hour, radio and podcasts are not factored in, as you can consume it in passing.
  • Why is it so important to you to stay up to date and what, if you want to be kept informed, brings you this?
    I am a curious person, even if I deny that at all times. Information is knowledge and I am a diversified knowledge is very important.
  • In which age and interest group would you organize?
    perceived age = current age - 10 years, which I still count a few years with the under 30-year addiction to computers.
