Friday, February 15th, 2008

All credit goes to Andrew Butkus and the fabulous efforts of the WINE project (which allows some Windows software to function on the Linux Operating System).

Anyhow check out on http://www.slingcommunity.com/group/discussion/26840/Slingplayer-Linux-Install-Script-1.0b/
I just love this eeepc!
PS. If you think that slingplayer on the eeepc is ridiculous, check out this effort to run vmware player on the […]

ConceptDRAW: For free. Only Today.

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

I met Tari Akpodiete at PodCamp Toronto 2007 a couple of weeks back. Tari was giving talks about a host of things, one talk (videocast) I attended was about MindMapping and Getting Things Done. Like me, it seems that Tari also subscribes to Giveaway of the Day. But, unlike me she spotted this already and […]

Web2rss: great idea.

Sunday, November 26th, 2006

Thomas Baekdal’s idea for a bridge between Web pages and RSS feeds is a simple and good one:
WEB2RSS is a simple web application that can convert almost any normal website/page into an RSS feed.
Thus, if a site you want to watch doesn’t emit RSS (and many don’t), you should instead instead tell your RSS reader […]

GreatNews and Zoundry, integration details

Saturday, November 25th, 2006

Following % breakdown of RSS Reader by use. Zoundry to post I learnt that GreatNews and Zoundry can be configured to work together. Finally I found Lee Hopkin’s advice on using-greatnews-and-zoundry-together which slows you down to actually read the Options | Configure Blog Tool | Tool Details, selecting “Generic External Blog Tool” instead of “Generic” […]

I need to sort out automated backup for my pcs at home. Local drives aren’t going to cut it, not least because they offer nothing against the risk of a catastropic event at home. (e.g. burglery / fire).
So we’re in the market for something that can do automatic, incremental backups. Offline, over the internet.
