Import Contacts Is Here!

Yes that’s right, Import Contacts is here. It was a while coming but we are there now!

The import function allows you to import your contacts into Wekaworx from another application. The imported file must be a vCard formatted file.

vCard is a file format standard for electronic business cards. vCards are often attached to e-mail messages, but can be exchanged in other ways, such as on the World Wide Web. They can contain name and address information, phone numbers, URLs, logos, photographs, and even audio clips. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Most applications allow you to export your contacts as vCard format. With Microsoft Outlook you will need to download one of the many utilities that allow you to do this. Just google ‘vcard export from outlook’ to find a utility program.

The diagram above illustrates a few of the many applications that export contacts as vCard format.

Have a go!

Firefox 3 Rocks

Wow, normally I wouldn’t bother talking about web browsers but Firefox 3 rocks. I have just been testing Wekaworx in Firefox3 and everything works just fine, in fact it’s much faster and smoother than Firefox2. All the screens look fine and the AJAX screen repaints are even faster.

There are really obvious improvements in the javascript performance for Firefox3. Here are some benchmark results from cybernetnews.com

I’m sure what most of you care the most about are the facts, and so I’ve compiled the results of the SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark test for each of the different browsers. All of the tests below were performed on the same Windows machine, and the Firefox 3 nightly builds definitely came out on top. Here are the results sorted from best to worst

1. Firefox 3 Nightly (PGO Optimized): 7263.8ms
2. Firefox 3 Nightly (02/25/2008 build): 8219.4ms
3. Opera 9.5.9807 Beta: 10824.0ms
4. Firefox 3 Beta 3: 16080.6ms
5. Safari 3.0.4 Beta: 18012.6ms
6. Firefox 2.0.0.12: 29376.4ms
7. Internet Explorer 7: 72375.0ms

Although I still love Safari too…

Time For An Update!

Sorry I haven’t posted for a while, but things have been progressing with Wekaworx. I have released 1.0.0 with many changes but too many to list here. Email me for a test login if you want to give it a try.
