   Review - Universal SQL Editor

   1.3.9.1 (May 3, 2012)

   I have been looking for a PostgreSQL version of SQLYog for some time now and thought this might be it. And Freeware as well! But it isn't, it's Commercial with a rather ungenerous 14-day trial period. As soon as I discovered that, I lost interest. No idea if it does handle PostgreSQL by the way.

   Review - Sublime Text

   2.0 Build 2139 Beta (Nov 9, 2011)

   My main complaint is the cost. This IS a beta after all.
   
   I like the left hand column showing the document with a page view square over it. Very nice feature.
   
   But really, let us at it for free and mebbe, just mebbe, we'll migrate from Notepad++. Once you have a decent userbase you can think about how, if at all, you can make money out of this.

   Review - Google Chrome for Windows

   4.0.223.11 Beta (Oct 27, 2009)

   Oops, I really should check for typos.
   
   FWIW, my link should be to http://zeltus.eu/rococo.html
   
   IF font-face works OK, the poem should appear in a cursive Cataneo BT font. If it doesn't, it'll look like a serif'd Times Roman font.
   
   HTH!

   I'm not sure how but you seem to be looking at an old version of the page I set up to use True Font Family (http://www.truefontfamily.com/)
   
   the correct CSS as used by my test page is
   
   @font-face { font-family: 'Cataneo BT';
   src: url(fonts/CATANEO.eot);
   src: local('Cataneo BT'),
   url(fonts/CATANEO.TTF) format('truetype');
   
   div#rococo p { font-family: "Cataneo BT", "Times New Roman", Times, serif; }
   
   which allows for IE Embedded OpenType as well as the admittedly unlikely scenario of this font being available locally.
   
   Until Chrome handles @font-face by default and font-size-adjust (it doesn't at all, only Firefox seems to) then Firefox still has my vote. But it is becoming a close-run thing...

   Review - Google Chrome for Windows

   4.0.223.9 Beta (Oct 25, 2009)

   a) I always seem to have trouble upgrading Chrome - I usually end up uninstalling the old version before installign afresh the new version (WinXP)
   
   b) Sadly, Chrome STILL does not handle @font-face properly (at least, not by default) - it can be forced to work OK by appending --enable-remote-fonts on the shortcut. (a test page is at http://zeltus.eu/rococo.htnml if anyone wants to see a before and after of the effect I am talking about)
   
   Other than these quibbles, it's all good news - Firefox is still my default but only just...

   Simple, fast, does exactly what I need in a player. As I am careful to keep my music organised, this is a joy to use - I don't need a built-in database library.
   
   This has become my primary means of listening to music - I've tried foobar et al but they are all too bloated and complicated for what I need.
   
   I use The Godfather for tagging and naming, this for playing, all I need is a simple playlist creator for setting up party playlists (all the ones I've found so far have a flaw of one sort or another - the worst being the inability to shuffle the playlist contents)
   
   I recommend this, altho' I do understnad how it mightn't meet everyone's needs.
