November 22nd, 2007 , ,

I’ve been extremely happy with my iPod Shuffle. It is a fantastic device. Much to my sadness, though, the Shuffle is a package deal: you can only transfer music to the iPod using the bundled iTunes media player. Is that bad? Well, yeah, because iTunes is the new Real Player.

Zenphoto Update Extraordinnaire Comments 2 Comments

November 12th, 2007 , ,

The team behind the now sweetest photo gallery offering has just released version 1.1. Zenphoto now offers EXIF file information, sub-albums, auto-watermarking, video embedding, tagging and searching.

Finally an alternative to WP Cache: WP Super Cache. I’ve been having nothing but trouble with the former, yet I can’t live without it. Let’s hope the new one works better. So far things seem to be working really well.

ScummVM [for DS] is an interpreter that allows you to play many point and click adventure games from the 80s and 90s on modern computers. [...] ScummVM runs games from Lucasarts that were created using the SCUMM system (hence the name) but it has also been expanded to run games from many other developers too. [...] This means that you can play all these classic games on the DS with full sound.
