I recently heard about a new webmail client from my friend Justin, who’s infatuated with it. RoundCube, a “browser-based multilingual IMAP client with an application-like user interface,” is the latest and greatest webmail client. It’s only in the alpha stage of development, which explains the jagged installation procedures, but that doesn’t mean it can’t kick some major squirrels. RoundCube is much smaller, scalable, and less resource intensive than another competitor, Zimbra, which weighs in at 150 megabytes. The interface is the stunning with lots of AJAX magic as well as user configurable via XHTML and CSS 2 skinning. I love RoundCube so much, I’m declaring it better than Gmail. Yes, you read that correctly. Hopefully by the end of this article you will have a fully functioning RoundCube webmail client on your server.

My favorite social bookmarking and technology news website, Digg, is about to get a whole lot better. This is because some big names have invested 2.8 million dollars into Digg, which has been rapidly growing since its inception. Investors included the co-founder of eBay and Netscape. I hope this means that they will have the money get more servers as Digg has been fairly slow recently. This is fantastic news. You can read the article here and the Digg for the article here.
Here’s what one of the Digg founders and former TechTV show host, Kevin Rose had to say in regards to questions raised:

I changed somethings in the header, so if you are seeing two headlines you need to clear your cache so the browser can get the latest CSS file.

I tried to carve my school mascot Buzz, the Yellow Jacket, into a pumpkin I bought today. I’ll let you decide if I was close or not. It was ridiculously hard considering I just had one huge knife. Getting details in there was a pain.

It’s about time Flickr can print photos. This is great news, finally I can do something with some of my better photos. I know lots of people that will take Flickr up on this new feature. Check out the Flickr blog for more info.
Over the last year, we’ve been asked 15,381 times, “How about printing? When are we going to get printing!?” Today we are happy to answer: “Today!” For now it is U.S. only (we know! we’re working hard on rolling it out everywhere!). You can order prints to be delivered by mail, or pick them up at your local Target store for one hour printing, even. In both cases, you get 10 free 4×6″ prints to get started.

Ubuntu, a popular distribution of the Linux operating system, has acquired a wildly growing user base and today I have joined them. Described as being Linux for Human Beings, Ubuntu is somewhere in between Mandriva (formerly Mandrake) and Fedora Core in terms of ease of use. It is far from Gentoo (my personal favorite because of the emerge package manager), which should be pleasing to novice users that want a more versatile Linux installation. Ubuntu has recently been awarded Best Distribution.
