Tech Update

I restarted using Delicious (Delicious/mgthantzin) again as it looks/works much better. Still, I see ‘You’ve been blocked…‘ message now and then. (Reload just works most of the time.) Launchy 2.1.1 seems more responsive in Vista then previous versions. I’m reusing that also. I uninstalled 7-Zip and replaced it with jZip Only one reason: I can ‘Extract to <foldername>…’ right from context-menu.

TeraCopy was installed a few weeks back just to move some *big* files. It works. I’ve also installed Vista SP1 after I installed TeraCopy. So, I don’t know whether native move/copy function is really enough or TeraCopy is a better alternative? I haven’t tried.

I received DropBox invite a month+ ago (finally!). It works like a charm. You may wanna check out Syncplicity as well. In XP, PowerToy Image Resizer does its work from context-menu. In Vista, my choice is VSO Image Resizer. They said faster Engine Version 2 was used in this release. But, the interface is kinda more complex than previous versions. I suggest they should keep it simple. All we need is to resize an image/images.

2 Adobe AIR applications I find quite useful are twhirl and Doomi.
