Everything and the Mobile Software Universe…

Ok, I’m a browser freak, check my Start menu:

Only Opera missing .

For the last few months Safari has been my default browser, for two main reasons:

• Speed! (blow even Chrome in the water for me)
• Font rendering: much more smoother than all the others, easier for the eyes
• Did I mention Speed?

But one thing was really annoying: when clicking on an URL in outlook or any other application: IE or Firefox were launched (in fact the last “default browser” I’ve set before Safari) instead of Safari!

Here is a tip to fix it:

• Be sure that safari has been set as your default browser
• In any explorer window, got to tools/folder options

• Then File Types, select “URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol”

• Click on Advanced, select Open

• Click Edit and fill the form has in the next screenshot

• Click OK,OK and do the same for “URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy”

And now your links are properly opened in Safari!

Hope this helps!

After 4 lost bids cause I was not in front of my computer and/or I’ve not checked my email, I decided to react! I need to be notified on the only thing I carry around (beside my palm, my trousers, my keys, …) : my cellphone. Here is a really simple trick to achieve that (if you are an orange user) :

• In your gmail account (? what, you don’t have one? ask me one if you need) add a filter working on the address watchnotice@ebay.fr
• Set this filter to forward the mail to yout orange mail (yournumber@orange.fr)
• Enable your mail in your orange portal
• ….tadam! you recieve an SMS on your cell.

Hope this helps, my 2 cents, and all this kind of little things.
