Although it certainly is a worthy media player it is held back by QuickTime pro, the version that has all the useful features unlocked. Firstly fullscreen …
Last night photo-sharing site zooomr’s serversdecided that it was time to fall off the internet. Fortunately they are now safely within the dump truck full of snakes that is the internets, distributing huge amounts of data- huge amounts of data.
This is the fourth part in the week in apps series, Tim again joins us- but unfortunately his server isn’t working too well and will be posting here instead. What can I say about Microsoft? They make the best Office suite. When I used Linux, there was only one thing that drew me back to …
In this, the third post of the week in apps series, Tim and I. Will be looking at Instant Messaging clients. For inter-service compatibility, there is none to beat AdiumX. Being open source I can always run the latest version on the svn tree- not suggesting this as a smart thing to do. The SVN …
