Re: Say how you use xAP and banish the xAP Desktop splash screen !

["ovejacobsson" <ove.jacobsson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I use the following xAP Applications

xAP Hub (run as a service on each of my three PC's)
xAP Desktop (to view news, incoming mail alerts)
xAP Homeseer plugin to integrate xAP and Homeseer)
xAP Floorplan (to control my lights)
xAP News (to get headlines from local newspapers etc)
xAP Stock (to get stock info)
xAP TV (to get TV-listings)
xAP Watcher (to keep an eye on my server)
xAP Weather (to get weather info)
xAP Message Viewer (for faultfinding and evaluation)
xAP Switchboard (lookup CallerID and send OSD message, not used
anymore, see below)
xAP Outlook plugin (to get my contacts from Outlook to xAP
Switchboard after first have synchronized my cellphone with Outlook)
xAP Mail Monitor (to get an alert when new email arrives)

I have also developt my own xAP script for Asterisk which just sent
out the incoming CallerID number. I could not get my Asterisk server
working stable enough and my girlfriend complained too much about
that the telephone was broken, therefore I'm not using my Asterisk
server anymore.

I have a few issues/problems with some of the applications but I
will address them in an other message to the list.
