  1. Review - Notepad2

    2.1.19 (Apr 15, 2008)

    my fave of all notepad type of applications...

    great for those that just want a notepad replacement, but there are so many more powerful features, great for editing many type of scripts or coding.

  2. Review - Ubuntu

    8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) Alpha 6 (Mar 13, 2008)

    I'm a new a new convert to Ubuntu, its amazingly easy to run, and I would dare say that an Ubuntu alpha as stable as other OS's released at beta ... or a Microsoft OS before SP updates

  3. Review - Trillian

    3.1.8.0 (Nov 12, 2007)

    seems like a trend here... I too used trillian for years, and I have to give respects to creators of trillian, they came up with the first really successful multi-protocal chat program, and it worked fantastic too, they persisted with patches and fixes when MSN or AIM tried to block them out, it was great but that was then not now ... now I use Pidgin, and if I didn't use that I'd be using Miranda ... Trillian is no longer in the game. but thanks for the memories!!

  4. Review - Mp3tag

    2.39d Beta (Nov 2, 2007)

    Its the best free tagger I've used, in fact its better than any ones that you'd have to pay for. Its simply fantastic has some smart features, the only thing I've found a little messy is when trying to apply tags via the cd search (apart from using cddb). If it picks your album in CDDB I haven't had one problem

  5. Review - Pidgin for Windows

    2.0.0 (May 4, 2007)

    I've been using Trillian forever as well, but just have got sick of it ... Miranda a bit complicated for me, but this is awesome only have had it loaded 30 minutes and I'm already converted. GREAT STUFF

  6. Comment - Is Microsoft Re-updating Auto Update, and Does It Need Updating Again?

    2.0.0 (Oct 15, 2007 - 1:13 PM)

    I had a server do the automatic restart ... normally it would ask you, but this just went ahead and restarted... pretty rude

  7. Comment - Skype 3.0 Beta Adds Shopping Feature

    2.0.0 (Nov 9, 2006 - 2:40 PM)

    if only they would release the API then someone would be able to make a slim-downed version. Skyllian (plugin for Trillian) was trying, but I think they've gotten no joy from the Skype guys.
