A smattering of opinions on technology, books, business, and culture. Now in its 4th technology iteration.

* Microsoft’s Acrylic. Installed. I’m not a graphics wonk but certainly seems easier to use than GIMP. * Sysinternals process explorer. Another great tool for finding out what is going on in your PC. I wish it explained rundll hosted DLLs a little more clearly. * Dumeter. Nice for seeing what traffic is really hitting the net from your system. Wish this tied back to something like the process explorer so I could see by process. Hey Pure Networks folks… * Phil is hosting an infocom interpreter for blackberries on his site. Fun memories. * Biopassword. Thought about trying but passed. But I like the idea. * Gadgetopia recommends BitLord for torrent downloading, I haven’t tried. * A pointer to FireANT. I may start videoing some of my hikes and may want to play around with this. * Something here about Ajax debugging, seems interesting. * Matt Croydon thinks A9.com rocks. I haven’t looked at for a while, I did today, it does seem to be getting cooler. * Several bloggers pointed towards the real-time update log of Wikipedia, so much so that the service went down. Too bad, this would be fascinating to watch. I’m embarrassed to admit that I haven’t contributed anything to Wikipedia yet.
