Process Tamer.. The DrinkI've decided that all of my software programs will now come with official cocktail recipes. This week I give you "Process Tamer - The Drink" If you use my Process Tamer program and you are an alcohol drinker then you are obliged to try making this drink: Process Tamer - The Drink 1 shot vodka 1/2 shot lemon juice 1 tsp canned cranberry juice concentrate and 1 tsp any other flavor canned juice concentrate. Shake with ice. Pour and add 2 shots of seltzer afterwards. |

open source replacements for fifty proprietary yet important programsJimmy Atkinson has done a great job and found replacements for fifty proprietary yet important programms: The following fifty proprietary programs are listed in no particular order within broad categories along with their open source alternatives. In some cases you could probably write your own book on frustrations with the proprietary programs shown here. In other cases, you’ll discover that the open source alternative isn’t quite up to snuff yet. http://whdb.com/2008...source-alternatives/ |

myIPneighbors - site shows you how many other accounts on your shared hostingThis could be really useful for people on shared hosting.. I've often wondered how many accounts are put on each shared server. However, I'm not sure how accurate this is, and most servers are allocated a block of multiple IPs, so this may only show you a small fraction of the accounts on your machine.. Still a cool idea regardless. For those on shared hosting, myIPneighbors IP search is a great way to find out who your neighbors are or just to see how many other websites your hosting company hosts your server. http://www.myipneighbors.com/ |

Microsoft bids $44.6-billion for Yahoo!Subject says it all (thanks to the headline writer at the Globe and Mail )... I wonder how long it will take Google to try to have this blocked, if Yahoo! proves interested?
