Software roundup 2/25/05

25 February 2005

Recent items of note:

* One man’s list of blackberry add-ons – Phil’s 411 app gets a nice mention. * Rootkitrevealer. Not really sure I know how to make the most of this but another nice tool to sniff out malware. * Haven’t tried Replay Music yet but seems to be the ultimate tool to bypass all the lame DRM in various players * Another great list of small software utilities – Pricelessware * Thanks to Jon Udell for the pointer to Linky, a great firefox extension. * Logparser 2.2. Loved earlier versions, haven’t had time to play with this yet. * Via Mike Gunderloy, XMLMarker -- great little XML editor.

Sadly I have no great utilities to recommend to Steve for home/consumer-oriented backup – I too have a ton of storage at home, I use scripts to copy precious data to backup locations every night, very kludgey but cheap.
