“Swift is a fully OOP Library for sending e-mails from PHP websites and applications. It does not rely on PHP’s native mail() function which is known for using high server resources when sending multiple emails. Instead, Swift communicates directly with an SMTP server or a …
The Internet is full of software gems, no doubt about it. The problem is, of course, that when you’re on the lookout for one specific piece of software, it’s not so hard to find it. But when you’re constantly (and mostly passively) trying to improve …
In a recent entry, Chemical coolness for your laptop, I reviewed the laptopCooler product. After the review, I got in touch with the manufacturers of the product with some suggestions and comments. It turns out that the laptopCooler product had been transferred to another company …
