MoonEdit - A collaborative text editor

Screenshot - 3_16_2007 , 5_50_48 PM_thumb.png
As you might expect, you're all set if you like MoonEdit, because "MoonEdit Pro" has been announced. Gobby is the other one of these we have posted about previously.

Program features:
    * Cooperative multi-user text editing over the internet.
      Every co-author can edit the shared document at any time, from any place, and at the same time! There's no need to send files via FTP or to compare documents when multiple users need to make changes to it independently.
    * Multiple text cursors visible on the screen.
      Every user has their own color. Every cursor movement and text changes are simultaneously visible on the screen by all users...

Gizmo has updated his list of 46 best-ever freeware utilities:

The 46 Best-ever Freeware Utilities List Updated:
I've just finished a major update of my top freeware list. If you haven't checked the list for a while now is the time as there are some great new additions. If you belong to a forum or newsgroup I'd be mighty grateful if you posted a link to the web page. If you do, please let me know.

Gizmo is a very good guy and his list is very useful!

UI differences between web and local (installed) apps

Screenshot - 3_16_2007 , 11_46_33 AM_thumb002.png
Here is an interesting and important article about differences between web applications and software you might download and install on your computer.

After spending about a year interacting with µTorrent exclusively through Remote Desktop, I was pleasantly surprised to discover how good the web UI is. It aggressively exploits the latest Ajax techniques to replicate most of the rich GUI functionality of µTorrent in a browser. But the web UI is still a pale shadow of the full-blown Windows UI. There are small but important details missing throughout, and part of the pleasure of using µTorrent was luxuriating in its intense attention to detail, its wealth of well-designed data readouts. Using the web UI is like drinking watered-down beer. It doesn't satisfy.
But does it matter? Despite my nitpicking, I can do everything I need to do remotely through the web UI...

Flash Circle TD: Flash Game of the Day

Screenshot - 3_16_2007 , 9_02_24 AM_thumb.png
Here is another tower defense game. At DC.com, we vow to allow no tower defense game to go unplayed. :)

The aim of the game is to control the number of monsters in the maze at any one time by building towers which can stop them.
To build a tower, simply click on its icon on the right of the screen then place it on the map by clicking again. Towers can only be built on the raised ground around the paths.
All towers can be upgraded to improve their strengths, to do this click on the tower then click on the upgrade button which appears on the right.
You can also sell towers to make back some extra money. How many levels can you last?
Target low health monsters by clicking them as they walk on the path. All towers in range of that creep will focus fire to try and take it out quicker.
