* Installed Newsgator Outlook edition 2.5. Seems faster and less resource consumptive. * As Mike says, Autoruns is a great tool, essential for monitoring what’s on your system, amazing it is free. Mike also points to XTM, a replacement for windows task manager, might be useful. * Getoutfoxed – one feature of this I love is the ability to enumerate and rate your running processes, and share this info with the community. A great way to do grass roots virus/spyware identification, not unlike the ideas behind Cloudmark * Fog Creek Copilot. Seems like a good feature to have as part of a future version of NetworkMagic * Rick Eames gave me this great tip on how to automount network drives on my mac – amazingly arcane. * Google toolbar for Firefox, finally. * Tipmonkies, lots of good software tidbits. Subscribed. * How to chkdsk your ipod – great tip * MSH (nee Monad) continues to intrique me – Monad and RSS, Monad and Yubnub. Ihaven’t had time to really play around with this as much as I should * Oh and speaking of yubnub, Phil adds yubnub support to berry411. Brilliant. * Looking forward to MT 3.2. Also might try some tagging plugins when I upgrade – MT tags plugin, MT and technorati
