ClearContext Outlook add-in releases version 3.0

by Jason Clarke Nov 7th 2006

Back in August I did a pair of articles outlining software that can be used to support Getting Things Done functionality using online software, and offline-capable software. My offline article focused on Outlook and the various add-ins that are available for it. Of the ones I commented on, ClearContext generated the most attention by far.

Lucky for us ClearContext fans, today they've released version 3.0 of their fantastic Outlook plugin, which they're referring to as an Automated Personal Assistant. As a long time user of the product, I agree that when used correctly it really does act as a personal assistant, sorting and tagging your email to make sure that your attention goes to the messages that matter first. It also lets you very easily turn emails into appointments or actionable tasks with literally just the click of a mouse.
ClearContext Inbox Management System is now also compatible with Outlook 2007, which has been in wide beta release for a few months now. I can tell you, the combination of Outlook 2007 and ClearContext can't be beat. I've got no financial interest in the company - I'm just a user who loves how much better Outlook is to use with ClearContext installed.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
