Moby Dock 0.6 BETA

Advertisement (Why?)

Thanks Jesse R., Thomas K., and the pizza dude that delivers my lunch. The new version of Moby Dock has been released. This is the update version and version 0.5 is required to be preinstalled. Please keep in mind that this is still a beta software and I'm sure they'll be glad if you can contribute a bug report.

Have fun customizing your desktop ;)

"Our philosophy at Silverstream was, 'let's make corporate Web app development easier,' " said Steve Benfield, chief technologist of Novell's Web Application Development Products, and a former Silverstream exec. With the backing of Novell, the Silverstream product is getting a once-over at more accounts. Future, tighter links with Novell integration, interaction, and identity-management products will make Extend even more appealing to enterprise developers, Benfield said.

With the help of the Silverstream acquisition, every version of Netware will come with a full J2EE server by early next year. For companies, many with literally hundreds of Netware boxes around the company, this could free up new development and runtime resources at a very low cost, said Benfield.

Novell has undergone quite a bit of change in the last 16 months, said Alan Nugent, Novell CTO, relatively new to his job himself.

One new push is platform "agnosticism," said Nugent. "We realize that Netware is not the only platform in the world we should be focusing our strategies toward."

To that end, Novell will be focusing on a few key areas moving forward, he said, including secure identity management; value-added network services, including those on platforms other than Netware; consulting and technical services, via manpower from its acquisition of Cambridge Technology Partners; and a new emphasis on application development, per the Silverstream deal.

Novell Extend 4 Enterprise is priced at $90,000 per server CPU and is available immediately.

i can see the process running in the backround (looking into windows task man) but i cant see it on my desktop !!!! does anyone know whats up ? :disappoin

#3.1 Sleeper on 07 Oct 2002 - 11:47

yes... this happens to me aswell

#4 GrymmWolf on 07 Oct 2002 - 15:34

Its there its just invisible

No really I did the same but I only have a Compaq to play with and tho video wise, it has 32 megs or ram, the Intel Chip just cannot render. I can see its there only due to the shadow I can faintly see expand & contract on mouse-over. So many nifty Docks....hope Moby'll fix it so everyone can use it, not just those with smokin video cards.

Looks like the site hosting the page, files, etc, has been suspended. Anyways, what exactly does this program do? The news posting is very vague regarding that.

#6 [LOF]skinnylegs on 07 Oct 2002 - 17:41

Errrr.....the web page has been suspended. Bummer.

#7 Euphoria on 07 Oct 2002 - 18:13

Anywhere else I can download this ?

#8 aGeMo on 07 Oct 2002 - 19:14

You can download it from http://aqua-soft.org. Also check out the forum there for the latest informatio about MobyDock. As far as to answer the questionas what the program does: It's a Mac OS X style dockbar for windows. Kinda like a quick launch bar with much cooler effects. I'm loving it.

#9 mr_da3m0n on 07 Oct 2002 - 19:51

Looks like someone forgot to pay the bill... mirrors?

#10 iconman on 07 Oct 2002 - 20:20

this dock kicks @ss

I dig the dock but would like to customize it. In particular, I would like to remove a few icons and possibly add a few. Is this possible? If so, can anyone offer any assistance?

#11.1 aGeMo on 08 Oct 2002 - 02:01

You can put more 128x128 png's in the dockconfig directory and add the file name to the images.ini file. Then you can right click on the items to select that icon. Also you can add new items by editing the items.ini file.

#12 alexchu2643 on 07 Oct 2002 - 23:49

It just plain crashes for me. But it crashes AFTER it removes my taskbar... so I have to logout every time I try to run it (which won't be very often unless I figure out how to fix it)

#13 QuaKeD on 08 Oct 2002 - 02:38

Does it work on win2k? anyone knows?

#14 [LOF]skinnylegs on 08 Oct 2002 - 04:07

If it runs on XP I'm sure it runs on 2K. I have no problems with it whatsover.

#15 GrimSage on 08 Oct 2002 - 04:31

Anyone have a good site with Icons for this? I saw someone with a cool Trillian Icon and stuff but have no clue where to get any of them and since the main site is down does anyone have good mirror of the gallery?

#16 ~*McoreD*~ on 08 Oct 2002 - 16:23

when opened it plays in the task bar - does nothing

#17.1 phantomAI on 09 Oct 2002 - 15:41

#17.2 aristotle-dude on 10 Oct 2002 - 08:32

Here is a link to a site with mirrors: [url]http://www.emaculation.com/[/url]

#18 bigskwatch on 09 Oct 2002 - 19:48

No way to download this app? Are there apps that are similar?
