Muppets: Bohemian Rhapsody

Just too funny!! Nothing else to say.

ImgBurn

Quick item:

Not sure if I’ve recommended it before, but ImgBurn is my favorite tool for ISO files if you are running Windows.  Even though Windows7 now (finally) has support for burning ISO files, it’s nice to create them as well (guess will have to wait another 10 years for that eh Mr Softy?).

Did I mention it’s FREE?  I’m sure I mentioned it.

Get it now from The Official ImgBurn Website

I’d be glad to here your favorites!

Tweetie for Windows

NO, it’s not (though I wish).  It is however the nearest thing.  It’s called blu.  Get it here: http://www.thirteen23.com/experiences/desktop/blu/#

It is beautiful in Vista & 7.  Much like Tweetie, you have simple selections for favs, directs, mentions, etc.  The animations for moving to the settings feels a lot like the attention to experience you get in Mac programs (very nice).

Long time, no blog.

So as you both know, I’ve been playing with Mac OS X at home and finally downloaded a blog client to test out. I’m kind of a client minded person (maybe it’s my age).

My previous posts have almost all been in Windows using Live Writer (highly recommended). This post is being done in Ecto

Simple enough interface. We’ll see how it goes, but since Live Writer is free and awesome, it will take more than I’m seeing at the moment to make me want to spend my birthday money on a blog client.

Later all!

(The below picture of the dogs has nothing to do with this post. They are just too darn cute, that’s all.)

Browsers for minimalists

So lately I’ve been enjoying the look of more webpage, less “stuff”.  With a little tweaking, Safari and Firefox can be set to give you more screen real estate. 

Safari (on the left) is my favorite for this view style.  If you select the view menu and choose to hide the menu bar, toolbar and the bookmarks bar.  Since the new 4.0 beta puts tabs on top, you get maximum viewing space within the window.  To go to a new address, a simple CTRL+L will drop down the toolbar so you can search or enter a site.  After you press enter, it hides again very nicely.

For FireFox, you get just slightly less screen since the tabs are not part of the window title bar, but still very nice.  You can use CTRL+L like Safari to go to a new site, but it doesn’t give you the whole bar, it gives you a separate open dialog box.

Sadly, for all the good improvements in IE8, you cannot seem to hide the location bar at all.  So I didn’t bother with a screen shot.
