Raise a Horn to the Ancestors!

 

On this sacred day of Samhain,

as we think about those that have passed, 

remember to place a stone on the cairn of your ancestors 

and raise your horn to hail them!

Happy Samhain!

Thunderbird and Lightning very, very...easy?

For some time now, I've wanted an email program that could handle multiple email accounts in one place without having to sign in and out of them AND would handle email addresses from different email clients, such as Hotmail and Gmail etc. Years ago, I used to use Outlook Express but they changed the rules on which email accounts could and couldn't be included, so I had to stop using it.

Recently, I've installed 'Thunderbird' and I'm now able to access all my email addresses in one place very easily, it saves me so much time and works brilliantly.

Hubby and I had also been searching for a good calendar program where we could both add events in one central place and could access it from separate computers. We have tried several calenders like Google and even Yahoo groups calendars, but none did everything we wanted so we kept searching.

Low and behold, 'Thunderbird' had an 'add on' that does just that and it's called 'Lightning'.

Now, either of us can add events, then add the email address of others involved and ping! It automatically invites the people and adds them, once they accept the event. We can also add individual events that only show on our personal calenders, it is exactly what we were looking for. This is similar to the type of program I used whilst working for the government in the UK and to find something similar in the public sector is such a bonus for us, it's so darned useful.

If you are also looking for an easy to use program for multiple email accounts and a great way of maintaining events in a calender, look no further than Thunderbird and Lightning. You won't be disappointed. :)

October, how I love thee...

I love the seasons and I love being here in Canada where the changing seasons are all beautiful, in there own right. One of my favourite months is October, not only are the leaves the most incredible colours, the air crisp and clean and the sky bright blue but there is also mulled wine and mead, pumpkins, pumpkin pie and Samhain to be considered.

To take the line from the Sound of Music, these are a few of my favourite things...

I hope you will all enjoy October as much as I will. :)
