Great app which allows you to create your own droplets. I’ve created two so far, both for rotating an image, and they happen very quickly. Barely any hesitation other than the splash screen warning you about messing with the original of an image. Certainly faster than the PhotoShop droplets I’ve worked with in the past though the newer version of Pshop may have solved that issue without a requirement to load the full Pshop engine to do the work.
45 Best Freeware Design Programs
There is just nothing better than free software. Especially useful software. I downloaded Terregen, which looks interesting even if it isn’t a good replacement for something like Bryce or Vue. Always something to learn from.
iRemotePC - Free Remote Desktop and File Transfer service
This may be the most powerful remote desktop tool I’ve seen. Even allows for file-sharing and folder syncing.
Software for burning most video/audio formats to DVD. What formats? This from their site:

Also, Lifehacker put up a how-to: http://lifehacker.com/software/dvds/hack-attack-burn-almost-any-video-file-to-a-playable-dvd-232322.php
Split Browser | Firefox Add-ons | Mozilla Corporation
My buddy Thomas sent this to me. Interesting, but I’m kind of so-so about this idea: being able to split a single pane in Firefox to show various URLs. I love Firefox and never use IE (except to test sites I’m designing), but it can be a memory hog. Wonder what this will to do it?
Download of the Day: Launchy 1.0 (Windows) - Lifehacker
Mind you I’m trying to switch to a Mac environment as much as possible (at home I’m just waiting for Apple to update the iMac and drop Leapord). And I’m using Quicksilver on my Mac at work. Lifehacker talks up Launchy for Windows as Quicksilver coming to the PC (almost).
Brusheezy - Download Free Photoshop brushes and patterns.
Well, seems I need to reboot the Mac for some updates. So I’ll blog my three bits instead of casting them to browser links.
Brusheezy isn’t just a collection of brushes and patterns. It also gives you a sample of each on the site and which are compatible with which OS.
I had linked to info about Any Video Converter in an earlier post. Two more popping up on the radar:
AutoGK Homepage - THE tool for XviD / DivX conversion for the PC and http://handbrake.m0k.org/ for the Mac.
Well, the bloggorhia (spelling???) continues. I’m so in love with taking images, but don’t do so well with the follow up. But, one of my NY resolutions is to get everything ready for Peru and then get it all online before the end of March. I’ve got to test autostitch out, soon. Then I can go nuts at Machu Picchu and photograph everything in one huge orgy of megapixels.
MEDIAPORTAL - free MediaCenter HTPC Software - Home
As much as I love SageTV, I’m concerned about being pushed to HD pretty soon. This might be a great, and free, app for replacing Sage as my PVR engine of choice.
