SeaMonkey :- All in one Internet Application Suite

Is there a product that can meet all the requirements of all the PC users. Probably not, and following (altered) saying comes to my mind.

You can satisfy some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not satisfy all of the people all of the time.

Having said that, software developers do try to give us solutions and try to meet our requirements. When same company or group create different utilities to address these requirements, their next step invariably is to integrate them so that they "talk" to each other in a better way and provide the an enhanced user experience.  Microsoft's Office is one such example. SeaMonkey is one such all in one Internet application.

From the SeaMonkey site:-

The SeaMonkey project is a community effort to develop the SeaMonkey all-in-one Internet application suite. Such a software suite was previously made popular by Netscape and Mozilla, and the SeaMonkey project continues to develop and deliver high-quality updates to this concept. Containing an Internet browser, email & newsgroup client, HTML editor, IRC chat and web development tools.

Download SeaMonkey

During a Custom Installation you would be able to select the products to be installed.

After installation a familiar browser opens which reminds you of Netscape. It takes you to the SeaMonkey home page and here you can download lots of Add-Ons to customize it to your liking.

I was a little confused while using this suite at first as I was not able to find other applications except browser as only browser opens up when I clicked SeaMonkey's desktop icon. After clicking all the menus in the toolbar, I found other application launchers under "Windows" Menu as shown below.

I would have liked these shortcuts available in "Program Folder" tab as is the case with other softwares. Having these shortcuts on web browser means that I will always have to open my SeaMonkey browser first to start the Email client. If anyone has another method then do tell me as I have not explored this suite enough.

 

  • Navigator :- The browser
  • Mails & Newsgroup :- Email and Newsgroup reader
  • Composer :- Html Editor
  • Address Book :- Hmmmmm... You guess ;)
  • cZ (ChatZilla):- IRC Chat client

And for some of you it offers some more tools to help you in your web development projects. Following screenshot can point you in the right direction.

Just by looking at above image you can very well guess the control and features it offers you. I hope you have found this article good enough and would encourage you try this suite. Am I sounding as their marketing person :). I just want to promote Freeware, wherever they are. Instead of pirating, use freeware.... they are as good as commercially available softwares and some times better than them. I hope one day you will appreciate my point of view.

Configure D-Link 2750U Wi-Fi Router for Airtel

Image
For the past Seven years I have been a user of Airtel Broadband and have faced problem 3 times. Two times it was because of ADSL2+ modem and they sent the engineer promptly (Probably a perk of living in Delhi) . First time the problematic modem was replaced (from 220BXi to 110BXi) but on second time (May 2012) I was told that I would have to buy the modem myself as Airtel now does not support CPEs(customer premises equipment). So after some searching on net I decided to buy Dlink 2750U; which has in-built ADSL2+ modem with 4 LAN port, 1 USB port and 1 RJ11(DSL) port to connect your ADSL line; from Flipkart . As a side note, I must say that delivery of Flipkart is just amazing. Front View Back View   The box contains everything you need to connect your ADSL connection. I connected the ADSL line from splitter to DSL port, LAN port of PC to LAN port of the router and switched it ON. Now let’s start the process of configuring the router. Though a configuration CD was pr

How to write in Hindi on Facebook

Image
First of all I would like to wish my Lil’ sis “A Happy Birthday” I joined facebook sometime back and I am so happy that I did. I found a lot of my school friends there and now I am addicted to it. I am from Delhi, India (as are most of my school friends). I started conversing with them in Hindi (most of the time) as I feel that one can express better in his/her mothertongue. Unlike Orkut, Facebook does not support typing in Hindi, so I am presenting here a way to write comments, posts etc using Google's service. To be able to type in Hindi, you should have Firefox (The Best Browser). Same Procedure can be used with Internet Explorer. Read my comment no. 26 for changes required for Internet Explorer. The procedure for different languages remains the same for all the languages as with Hindi. Right-click on the links below for different languages: [अ Type in Hindi] [অ Type in Bengali] [અ Type in Gujarati] [ಅ Type in Kannada] [അ Type in Malayalam] [अ Type in M
