SkEdit – A Dreamweaver Replacement

  • 2 Jun, 2006

SkEdit is simple, fast, not bloated with useless features and it’s now my Dreamweaver replacement. It’s extremely hard to find an application that can do all that Dreamweaver can, however, it’s even harder to pay $400 for a piece of software. I have been checking out all sorts of editors trying to find a great […]

Social Bookmarks Tool Goes Static

  • 1 Jun, 2006

If you wanted to use the Social Bookmark Tool but didn’t have a blog, now you can. I added the functionality to add a static URL and create social bookmark links. Granted, this static code will only work with one URL and title, it’s not dynamic like the blog code that will create links based […]

Parallels – Emulation Done Right

  • 26 May, 2006

I’ve taken Parallels for a test spin and I’m very impressed. VirtualPC was the best emulator around years ago and it still never worked very good. Now, with Parallels, you can run Windows (3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, Me, 2000, NT, XP, 2003), any Linux distribution, FreeBSD, Solaris, OS/2, eComStation, or MS-DOS while running OS X. […]

I’ve also updated the Yahoo, Rojo, Newsgator and Pluck images to come directly from those services, […]

Skype To Wireless & Land Lines Free

  • 15 May, 2006

Skype has announced that, until the end of the year, you can use Skype to any phone in the US or Canada for free! I tried it with my cell and it worked, but I didn’t talk to myself. But it also didn’t charge me or ask for money. Sweet! This means that tomorrow night, […]

My Sharks Mate A Lot

  • 14 May, 2006

It’s true. I started with two sharks and now I’m up to 11! To clarify, I got a great application called Fish. I realized I hadn’t tried it out since I got my sweet new machine. It runs so much better than on my previous machine. Fish is a virtual aquarium. It allows me to […]
