DetachVideo - Pretty Cool
DetachVideo is a small and portable utility that can actually detach videos that you are watching in your browser and place into it's own window which is pretty cool.

Pixel art

Screenshot - 14_05_2008 , 23_59_46.png
Smashing Magazine published a few days ago tons of the best examples of what can be achieved with pixels and some time. Lots of 8-bit spirit for some really cool illustrations.

It also includes one of the best videoclips in recent times, Move Your Feet by Junior Senior. And contrary to most posts these days, this is not spam.

LibriVox: Free Audiobooks

SNAG-00030.png
If you love audiobooks, or never had time to read all the old classics, or just want to discover some hidden gems, this might be just the thing for you:

LibriVox volunteers record chapters of books in the public domain and release the audio files back onto the net. Our goal is to make all public domain books available as free audio books.

All of the recordings are all released back into the public domain, so you can share them, burn them, give them as gifts...even sell them if you want. There are no restrictions on what you are allowed to do with them.

JJJunk: Miraculous coincidence - sites that praise DC software are cool sites

Screenshot - 5_13_2008 , 12_17_58 AM_thumb.png
The title of this thread is just a play on the fact that I occasionally come across a blog which says good things about a DonationCoder.com program and I inevitably look around and come to the conclusion that it's a cool site with other content of interest.

Probably a good part of that is just innate human bias to like someone who likes you, but I think also there is probably something more to it.  Very few bloggers take the time to actually write up a real description of why they like a program, and when they do, they are almost invariable producing regular content that is worth reading.

This is from a blog called JJJunk.com..  Some nice posts on various software.

http://jjjunk.com/20...shot-captor-windows/

In the interest of fairness, if someone can find some very negative but thoughtful and non-trivial reviews of DC software, please post them and we can see how these sites compare and if they are as interesting as the sites that like our software.

Firefox Plugin Found! Server Switcher: Open dropped local files Using Local Server URL

blog clipart
I posed this question on the DC forum:

When i do web development i often just want to drag a local file (html,php) from explorer into firefox.

The problem is that this results in firefox opening up file://E:\MyDocs\MyWeb\MyFile.php or something like that.

What i'd love is a firefox extension that keeps a list of mapping like: "E:\MyDocs\MyWeb/ -> http://127.0.0.1/www/"
So that when i drag the file into firefox, it opens up "http://127.0.0.1/www/MyFile.php"

Anyone know of any such existing extension?

Two nice technology/software blogs with nice words about DonationCoder software

Screenshot - 5_11_2008 , 11_11_56 PM_thumb.png
Stumbled across a nice review of my Screenshot Captor program recently on a site called www.online-tech-tips.com.  It's rare and always very satisfying when someone takes the time to actually put up their own images and write their own text.

Following the link about the author (Syahid bin Ali) i found he had a nice technology blog of his own (www.techmalaya.com), and what do you know, DC Member's Wordzilla's Mobysaurus Thesaurus was featured there.

Anyway, two nice sites with computer tips and software reviews:
