Run both Firefoxes. Why didn’t I look for this last week?

It would be great if Quicksilver stopped crashing.

I think it’s time to whip up a quick AppleScript that launches a number of Applications I work with instead of launching them individually everyday.

WMware’s Fusion and Workstation products are worlds apart in terms of usability. I’m patiently waiting for Workstation to load a Ubuntu virtual machine at work. With Fusion I would have already been done with what I needed to do.

What are the chances we’ll see a new version of iTunes released next week? I’d say it’s about 150% possible.

Free Windows SSH Server

freeSSHd is a free SSH Server for use on a Windows NT based Operating System. I’m using it on Windows XP and it works great. Very easy to setup. I recommend using it in combination with Hamachi.

Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition and Xbox 360
October 15, 2006 – 3:20 pm
Over the past few days I installed Windows Media Center Edition on my PC and configured it to connect to my Xbox 360. Let me tell you, this is one slick system for streaming media to your TV. The Xbox 360 works as an extender for the Media Center and can be set to access [...]

I need to give ClipX a try. It’s a clipboard history manager for Windows.

I had first ready about Hamachi a few months ago on Bryan’s site and finally got around to trying it out this weekend. It’s one slick piece of software. Much easier than setting up a VPN and all that junk.
With Hamachi you can organize two or more computers with an Internet connection into their own [...]
Multi-Monitor taskBar

If you use a multiple monitor display I found a cool free utility that allows you to have a second taskbar. It also provides buttons on each of your windows so that you can easily move a window from one display to the next. Nifty!

Adobe acquires Macromedia (via If…Else). This should be an interesting combination since Photoshop and Dreamweaver are two of my favorite pieces of software.

As if Firefox wasn’t fast enough, you can make it run even quicker.
