Moving from bloglines (almost)

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

I’m on the verge of moving from Bloglines. Newsgator offer fantastic desktop clients for Windows & Mac, as well as a web based version - but what is really great is that they all sync, so you don’t re-read the same articles if you read from multiple computers.

Unfortunately, the web reader is not as good as bloglines, and as far as I can tell none of the linux desktop aggregators such as straw or liferea support syncing with the open api newsgator provide.

VirtuaWin - Virtual Desktops for Windows

VirtuaWin - Virtual Desktops for Windows
VirtuaWin is a virtual desktop manager for the Windows operating system (Win9x/ME/NT/Win2K/XP/Win2003/Vista). A virtual desktop manager lets you organize applications over several virtual desktops (also called ‘workspaces’). Virtual desktops are very common in Unix/Linux, and once you get accustomed to using them, they become an essential part of a productive workflow.

Just changed from Vista/XP Virtual Desktop Manager which had some nice features but was a little slow & buggy. You may also want to get the VWPager plugin for VirtuaWin.

OpenWithView 1.0

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

|MG| OpenWithView 1.0
OpenWithView is a small utility that displays the list of all available applications in the ‘Open With’ dialog-box of Windows, and allows you to easily disable/enable the applications in the list. When application is disabled, it won’t be displayed in the ‘Other Programs’ section of the ‘Open With’ dialog-box.
This utility can be useful if your ‘Open With’ window displays too much applications, and you want to remove the applications that you don’t use frequently.
