I’ve been quite fond of the Adobe Air environment for some time now, since it manages to achieve a lot I have been missing from traditional applications. First and foremost, many Air aps bring together your desktop and the internet, which is great if you don’t want to launch your browser for a task, or [...]
Pull feeds into your website and customize them
I’m building my personal page right now, and since I write 2 blogs of my own (with one more coming up) and contribute to 3 other blogs I thought it would be a nice feature to have a list of my most recent posts on my personal page. You could of course always update the [...]
Learn to be a master filmmaker with Wikiversity
Today was the first day, after using Wikipedia for ages I actually took the time to look at what the front page has to offer. I found separate part of Wikipedia named the Wikiversity.

XP SP3 and Vista SP 1 available through Windows Update
I awoke to find that the new service packs for Windows XP and Vista are available through Windows Update Center. This will make installation much easier, although for XP users there’s less in it than there is for Vista people who could experience a significant speed boost. The XP SP3 brings a lot to the [...]

Microsoft SearchTogether
I recently stumbled upon a very beta Microsoft product called SearchTogether. It will be a collaboration platform in the form of an IE plugin that lets people work together when searching the web. At first glance from the screenshots, it seems to me that it will be a chat-twitter mix, integrated with IE and Live [...]
WordPress 2.5 coming soon
A week ago WordPress released some shots of their upcoming tweaks to the admin for version 2.5. I have to say that it looks good, I don’t think this is what WordPress needs to be judged by. Apparently theme authors will need to update, as well as plugin developers, but this is also sort of [...]
Amarok – The music player
Martin posted back in December about switching to a tripple-boot, having XP, Vista and Linux on the same machine. I myself installed Ubuntu a while ago and am recently switching near full-time to it. One app I really love is Amarok, one of the media players in the repositories. Amarok is just like any quality [...]
