Utilities roundup

09 November 2004

Since I can’t play Halo2 today, trying out other software:

* from Gadgetopia I found Editplus. Love the integrated FTP support. * Firefox 1.0 releaseirresponsibly upgrading all machines now… * Furrygoat points to the MSFT error code lookup tool – as he says despite the title this tool works for all windows error codes. * Marc points to a new version of Clipmate. Ok I didn’t really try this one, just posted here because it reminded me of WFW and the mods we did to the clipboard to support network sharing of clipboard items – boy was that a waste of time. * Turborisk – a free classic. OK the opponents are braindead but it is free. * Photostory 3. Free. Haven’t tried yet but intend to… * Udell talks about MSH – this looks pretty cool. I waded thru the beta signup process and have my key so I can try later today.

And I’ll close on a good general point raised at Microsoft MonitorThere is no reason why back-up capabilities shouldn’t be built into digital content software, even if consumers don’t immediately use the function.
