Been a while since I had time to play with any software.
* Beyond Compare 2.4 out. What I’ve been using to keep machines in sync… * …but I hear good things about syncback as well * Hamachi -- a lightweight VPN solution. Rich pointed me at this. I am a little nervous about putting a VPN server on the home network. * Wikicalc latest version. Now that Google has purchased writely i guess we will see a feeding frenzy around online spreadsheets and presentation packages. * Pocketmod. Low tech but decidedly useful. * Rich on backing up game cds. It is a lot of bother. * Siteadvisor plugin. Nice. * Why Reboot? A handy little doohickey for the curious. Another handy little thingee – Brutus -- easy shutdown and restart. * Phil on structured blogging plugin. I think edgeio is going to be easy for me to adopt. * Rich on video screensavers. Tried one and got hung up on not having the right codecs, grrr. Nice idea tho. * Hyperwords plugin. Not sure it is that helpful.
