Xten has announced its newest Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) SoftPhone, eyebeam, which, like other SoftPhone software previously released by the company, will turn your Mac into a phone that can place and receive calls via Voice-Over IP (VoIP), a protocol that carries voice data over the Internet.

Xten is currently demonstrating the new product at Supercomm 2004 and will soon make a Beta release available to select partners, with the commercial roll-out slated for October. eyeBeam will be Mac OS X compatible, but the company hasn't released system requirements and pricing yet, nor had it placed a product page on its Web site as MacCentral posted this article.

Software Settings Sychronization

Software Settings Sychronization 12/26/2004 05:35 AM

Here's something I'd love — the ability to synchronize two installations of the same software on two different computers.

I'm thinking right now of Thunderbird. I have so many settings customized — email accounts, RSS feeds, custom search rules, address book entries, adaptive spam filters, etc. Settings I tweak on my installation at work, I have to come home and recreate on my installation at home.

For instance, I haven't even set up RSS at home, because I got a little weary of just recreating the feeds I had at work. I change one at work, and I have to change it at home, etc.

Another example: I get a lot of automated emails. Not spam, but a lot of emails like blog comment notifications, cronned job reports from our servers, etc. I have a fairly intricate saved search set-up in Thunderbird to find all these emails so I can mass delete them a couple of times a day. There are about 14 parameters in the search, and I have to remember to change the one at home if I change the one at the office.

The FTP Bookmarks Sychronizer for Firefox came very close to this, but my version of that hasn't worked with Firefox 1.0. Even if it did, bookmarks are just the tip of the iceberg.

I think client software developers in general need to consider that users are likely to run the same software on different machines, and there should a mechanism to mass dump all the settings and parameters so the user can get a second installation running exactly like the first.

(I got deja vu while writing this, and — sure enough — I ranted about this same thing over a year ago.)

Deploying Windows Firewall Settings XP
SP2 (v2.4) 08/13/2004 10:26 AM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) includes the Windows Firewall, a replacement for the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) in previous versions of Windows XP. Windows Firewall is a stateful host-based firewall that discards unsolicited incoming traffic, providing a level of protection for computers against malicious users or programs. To provide better protection for computers connected to any kind of network (such as the Internet, a home network, or an organization network), Windows XP SP2 enables Windows Firewall on all network connections by default. This new behavior can impair some types of communications. This article describes how to deploy the appropriate configuration settings for Windows Firewall on an organization network so that it is enabled and providing protection, and so that communications are not impaired.

It's Time for URL-Specific Browser
Settings

It's Time for URL-Specific Browser
Settings 02/01/2005 09:08 PM

Here's what I'd like to see for upcoming browsers: customized browser settings on a URL-by-URL basis. I think it's time to admit that different sites sometimes require vastly different browser settings to work optimally.

For instance, I visit some sites that scroll horizontally. To see them completely, I need to remove the Firefox sidebar. I display some reports on my intranet that I alway end up going into Full Screen mode to view. I normally don't pass HTTP referrers (see this), but some sites suppress images without a referrer to prevent hot-linking, so I need to pass a referrer to them. Then there's the browser-based printing thing I complained about the other day.

It'd be very handy if Firefox could do all this for me. I could see having default settings, but overriding individual settings per site. So for a URL with a wildcard of "http://intranet/wide_reports*", supress the sidebar and go into Full Screen mode.

This is probably hard from a technical perspective, as Firefox would essentially have to scan all the settings every time a page loaded. But what a difference this would make. Provide some centralized control and it would be fantastic for intranets, since you could control not only the page, but have some form of control over the environment the page loads into.
