I think I just found the best screen capture software ever, or at least the best looking one. The aptly named PrtScr is originally intended to fill the void created by the Windows snipping tool which can only be found on tablet Vistas and some other select distributions. It has the same basic functionality, with [...]
Quote, research and take notes with Quotepad
I sometimes run into an application that’s not hugely new, but it has such great handling, ease of use and functionality that I start to really like it. One such discovery today is Quotepad.

Would the try & buy model work for games and movies?
I know you’ve all seen it, naughty people, you download a game for example, and the crack file says something like “Our cracker team does not support piracy, if you like the game, buy it”. So do you? I don’t know about you guys, but while I was “coming of age” I probably wouldn’t have [...]

However, there is another app that allows even simpler launching, and not just for applications, but for folders, text files, anything you need. PS Hot Launch VVL is an applications that lets you bind any application, [...]
How to show 5 top categories in WordPress
WordPress is a great piece of software, and allows more than you’d think to be done with simple coding. I bet that a lot of people out there would look for a plugin to do this, but your top five categories can very easily be shown using a WordPress template tag, just a half a [...]
Search and download from Flickr using zFlick
