DNW, awful software in my experience! - Mo Kargas
ZoneAlarm is one of the first things I uninstall/disable when troubleshooting connectivity issues...and it usually never returns. Often more of a PITA than it's worth, and I don't recommend it to anyone. - abacab
i just never install anything that shows a box on their homepage...worked well so far... - Zee from WeDoCreative
ZoneAlarm used to be good, but they fell into the bloatware hole and never came back! - Oliver Ortega Chua

Stainless for OS X Leopard
September 28 at 12:32 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link
"Stainless- A multi-process browser for OS X inspired by Google Chrome." - Matt Harwood via Bookmarklet
interesting - will take a look - Zee from WeDoCreative
Typing from it now, Zee. It's a very basic demo as they warn, but very quick and light. Perfect for when you need to check something but don't want to launch chunky Firefox or others. - Matt Harwood
There are people who don't keep a browser open at all times? Wow. - Cecily
Interesting, I hope that some of their ideas could improve other browsers. I wonder if they do things in open source way or hide behind closed source (might be that WebKit license requires publishing of modifications; or am I wrong with that?). - Daniel Schildt
Cecily - I would (and usually do) but Firefox, Safari, Webkit, Opera... all creep up to huge memory usage and need to be closed. It frustrates me to the hilt! - Matt Harwood
Any Mac OS X users willing to share the user agent string? - Jake (aka Jawee)

No probs Zee - I'm just amazed how on the ball you are, Sept 17th and you knew? wow :) The link was to CN post though, so will share if that's ok http://www.centernetworks.com/... - Matt Harwood
On the ball...i dunno man, more like too obsessed with other peoples companies :) - Zee from WeDoCreative
Has anyone used Blurb or how it compares with this? we used Blurb for our wedding book, and it came out great, although it is a bit expensive. - Juan Pablo González

Share any point in time across time zones with easy to use permanent urls.
October 27 at 3:51 am - Link
permatime.com :) - Alexander Kohlhofer
i love you. - Zee from WeDoCreative
Nice idea. I've sorta gotten to used to doing the math and saying GMT +- etc, though. (get off my lawn) - Michael W. May
So had we - and we hated every minute of it. - Alexander Kohlhofer
oh - and I love you, too :) - Alexander Kohlhofer
Nice and simple although you could already do this by inviting people to a meeting in, for example, Outlook. It doesn't do recurring appointments, as far as I could tell. Recurrence is where you need something like this. - Jim Hawkins
we have just rolled out a nice update.. New features, more locations, better interface... - Alexander Kohlhofer
I'm not sure how this works... so I set up several timezones and I want to link to that configuration so I can check times later... where is the url/link for me to do that? Or am I using it wrong? - Lindsay Donaghe
oh... hmm, maybe I get it now... so it's not for you to check what time it is now, but for you to mark a particular point in time. That's cool, but I'd like to be able to set up my timezones so that I can come to the home page (or a url permalink) that shows the current time so I can tell if, say, it's too late in the evening to call my Grandmother who lives 2 timezones away. - Lindsay Donaghe
it remembers your settings automatically (for your computer). If somebody sends you a link it will display that time in your time zones. If you sent a link from yours it will be shown to them in their time zones. - Alexander Kohlhofer
yeah, definitely with you there Lindsay...i actually asked everyone if they knew anything like that a while back and there were a few suggestions..see here: http://friendfeed.com/e/854434... - Zee from WeDoCreative
Update again - I guess it must store those in cookies... looks like they were there when I came back to the page. So in that case a couple of feature suggestions, be able to choose different configs (say I have AZ, Central and Pacific because that's where my family lives, but another one for AZ, London, Sydney and Dallas where my business contacts are...). Also, be able to add a note or description to the zone so it would say "Central - Dad, Grandma, Uncle Norm" or something and be easy to spot... - Lindsay Donaghe
if you go to permatime.com it does just that. It shows you the current time across all your time zones :) - Alexander Kohlhofer
true - if you save the create permatime url as a bookmark...it's a great way to quickly go and insert any time in a particular place... - Zee from WeDoCreative
Any chance for those other suggestions, Alexander? - Lindsay Donaghe
Allowing custom labels is definitely on our list. I am not so sure about some more clock like features as there are plenty of good world time clocks out there. Permatime is all about sharing points in time - a definitive need with no good solution - till now ;) - Alexander Kohlhofer
We added custom labels a little while back. We have just added drag and drop, and easier date entry for the week ahead. For the keen or geekily-inclined, there's an indication how to construct your own permatime urls at http://permatime.com/about - Tim Diggins
Nice idea, not-so-good implementation. I tried about 5 different variations of input for Seattle, neither worked. Finally I had to google the official name of the time zone "Pacific Standard Time" and entered it. It should be easier than that. - andrei_c
Thank you! I have teams EVERYWHERE ... so need this...thanks! - Susan Beebe

Anyone use this in any serious capacity and able to offer a short personal review?
14 hours ago - via Reshare - Link
We have several licenses for this and use it to do support around the globe. The greatest feature is the ability to reboot a remote machine and have it come back up in GoToAssist mode. It allows us to do support on machines in Asia and Europe on OUR time rather than taking a machine away from a user in their prime time. - Dave Ploch
man...ok, i've set this room up and so this is like i'm blowing my own trumpet. But i love that answers are actually found here. Cheers for replying to him Dave. - Zee from WeDoCreative
