New version of N E O now out2

There are few products I will endorse unreservedly but Nelson Email Organizer has been a bit of a life changer for me - the quantity of email I receive seems to follow an exponential curve all of its own, this last quar ter I received as much email as I did the whole of last year, so goodness only know what its going to look like in twelve months’ time!

Anyway, I was recommended to NEO by a colleague, and I wonder now what on earth I would do without it. It indexes all of my 40,000 emails and lets me search by sender, attachment type, category and so on, as well as search string. I’m currently upgrading from 3.0 of Neo Pro to 3.1, which triggered me to write these few thoughts while I wait for the thing to finish.

There’s a free version of NEO available from the web site, I can’t remember what prompted me to upgrade to Pro (apart from the fact that its so damn good), but I would do it again. The only weakness I can think of is that it doesn’t search attachments, still, can’t have everything!

A couple of people have tried to put comments on posts, for some reason they can’t at the moment, but I can’t see why. There is an upgrade to Wordpress, I shall be implementing this shortly.

Update: I believe I’ve resolved this now.

This looks like a really great idea - I’ve only just got round to trying it out, but the idea is to let others know what you are listening to. The charts, thus generated, are very different from the ones radio would have you believe, not least because they reflect the staying power of songs and artists, not just the ability to get promoted. My Audioscrobber page is here, by the way.

Here’s the message that went out on the wires last night:

Just to let you know, the Rush book I have been putting together over the past two years is now finished, all bar the shouting. According to my sources, “Rush - Chemistry” will be going to print Monday week, ready for release at the end of October. It is available for pre-order here.
