Ed and Kira go to Meebo

After completing their bicycle trip, my brother Ed and his girlfriend Kira took some time to rest and visit friends and family in Washington. Eventually, though, it came time for them to head south to California to deliver our message to Meebo and catch their flight to New Zealand.

Not having time to bike there, they decided to take a train. The iron horse pulled into its destination many hours later, and they found themselves in a land of trolleys and billboards.

After a day or two in San Francisco they took a train to Mountain View, which is about thirty-five miles southeast of San Francisco, to pay a visit to Meebo. They arrived at the train station and confidently strolled down the street to their offices, pausing for a photo outside their front door.

Ed then went inside and introduced himself to a dedicated Meebo employee ("Mikey") and handed over the message. Their office was pleasant and Web 2.0-y. After several thousand miles of travel the not so instant message was delivered. We still haven't heard back from the meebo folks yet but I guess we didn't really set the pace for high speed communication. We are looking forward to their response someday...

Ed and Kira are now in New Zealand, exploring the landscape and working on farms. Our wandering employee got away this time, but one day perhaps he will return to us. I look forward to it!

Open Mac Beta Live!

Its a day late, but Open Mac Beta is officially live to the public. We had to push the release 24 hours to be sure our update system worked, but now everything is good to go! To get the Mac Extensions, navigate your browser to www.dexrex.com/download/mac. For all you new Mac users, you will be prompted to log in first with your IM network credentials. With Dexrex there is no signing up, just signing in:)

Be sure to let us know what you think! You can contact us at contact@dexrex.com.

Enjoy!

Open Mac Beta 10/9!

At long last, Dexrex will be releasing a version of its Extensions program to the Mac audience! The release will happen next Thursday, October 9th. At that time Mac users will be able to log into Dexrex and get their hands on an Extensions version that will support all major Mac IM clients. The release will be kept in beta while we make some final changes and updates, but all the functionality will be there so you can get to archiving.

Shortly after the Thursday release I will be posting another blog to let everyone know it is available.

Cheers,
