Firefox 3 - A visual guide to the new features

Screenshot - 13_06_2008 , 0_46_40.jpg
The new version of Firefox is almost here, and in a timely fashion, Deb Richardson, a Mozilla employee, has compiled a list of the new major features, including live screenshot (Mac version) and links explaining the functions more in depth. All in all, it looks like a very nice release, and definitely a big step compared with the mild disappointments that Firefox 1.5 and 2 were (at least in my opinion).

QUESTION: CD-RW/DVD-RW emulated drive?

blog clipart
Not sure if this is available anywhere else or how hard it would be to produce but I could really use a CD/DVD writer drive emulator.

There are plenty of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM emulators out there (such as DriveImage supplied with Nero) but I haven't seen any equivalent writer/re-writer emulators

Ideally the drive should appear as a normal windows device but allow writing and capturing the output to either a HardDisk folder or an ISO image.

The reason for this is I have a number of programs that burn directly to disk and have no way to save images otherwise - particularly Audio and Video stuff. It would be really useful to be able to edit the output contents before burning a physical disc.

Free add-ons teach Windows Explorer new tricks
By Scott Dunn

You can choose from dozens of file managers to replace Windows Explorer — some of them are even free — but only the original is so closely integrated into the OS.

Before you give Explorer the boot, check out some first-rate add-ons that turn Windows' tired file browser into the information manager of the future.


Interactive Linux kernel map

Well, this is cool — the Interactive Linux kernel map gives you a top-down view of the kernel. You can see the most important layers, functionalities, modules, functions, and calls. Each function on the map is a link to its source code. The map is interactive. You can zoom in and drag around to see details.

Techtree has a useful article on the search for the Perfect File Copy Manager.

GCstar - Personal collections manager

Screenshot - 08_06_2008 , 2_09_21.jpg
App NameGCstar
App URLhttp://www.gcstar.org/

After looking at the mess created by all the items sitting in my shelves, drawers, and other unspecified places (room corners, for example), I decided that it was impossible to remember what I have and where it is, so it was time to put my ass to work and catalog these things to prevent future losses and be able to accumulate more crap have quick access to my precious belongings.

So I searched around for the software to let me accomplish such thing. The main option was (and continue to be, despite this post) MediaMan, a very polished piece of software that lets you catalog music, films, books and other media pulling data from the Internet, but shareware. A quick search in DC also unearthed Libra, very much like MediaMan, not as good, but freeware, and Listal, a web service that looks like a nice option to have your data up in the cloud, while having a social component in it, it seems you can even backup that data locally.

Then I remembered that an OSS movie cataloging software called GCfilm stopped development a while ago to be fully rewritten and contain every kind of collectible thing created by humankind. So, I googled it, and came upon GCstar. GCstar is a cross platform app, that uses the GTK toolkit and several external libraries to do its job.
