Gmail+Growl
Mar 28 2006
*....

PINEDAE  Beware! This utility hijacked my home folder upon installation. It renamed my home folder to 'Gmail+Growl'. When I next rebooted, I lost everything because my home folder was regenerated. I'm manually copying everything in the 'Gmail+Grow' folder into my (new) home folder as I type this.

WOOTEST  This sounds absolutely absurd - at only one point in the installation process does the Gmail+Growl Utility ever create a folder, and at *no* point is it named Gmail Notifier.

I'm not saying that this couldn't ever possibly have happen and that this issue is made up, but what I am saying is that it sounds completely unreasonable for Gmail+Growl Utility to do something that it's never been programmed to do.

It would be nice if you'd send "Console" logs from the time when this happened - Gmail+Growl Utility posts info to the system log regardless of success or failure just for these kinds of things - and any other potentially helpful info to wootest@gmail.com so that this problem can be tracked down - and if it really is a problem, it desperately does need to be tracked down.

WOOTEST  Mea cupla - I wrote "This sounds absolutely absurd - at only one point in the installation process does the Gmail+Growl Utility ever create a folder, and at *no* point is it named Gmail Notifier." but I meant "This sounds absolutely absurd - at only one point in the installation process does the Gmail+Growl Utility ever create a folder, and at *no* point is it named *something else than* Gmail Notifier."

iSpQ VideoChat
Mar 22 2006
***½.

PINEDAE  This software is nicely done, but what is truly a disappointment is the way the communities are set up. After getting used to Yahoo! and Google, participating in iSpQ communities is a huge letdown.

End users have the ability of create their own special "rooms", but these exist only as a long as you are online. So communities cannot actually thrive continually, as "My Room" revolves around you, not your specific interest.

Let's face it: iSpQ is software for men who want to view naked women, and for women who want peddle their bodies online. The rest of the end users are banished to "Clean Chat" for conversations that fall along the lines of "hi", "show me your " or otherwise similar come-ons. The other channels on iSpQ are all but deserted (what the hell is a "Ruby" room anyway?)

In the end, iSpQ is really supposed to be about like minded-people getting together. To that end, the software succeeds if its aim is to attract the lowest tier of Internet culture. The rest of us who have more interesting things to say (or even show on webcam) go to the more popular online communities, even if video isn't supported.

DP-G4-450GUY  I think you need to get your head out of very negative thoughts.
