Altiris SVS: Mini-Review

create.png
Altiris SVS has to be one of the coolest software concepts since FirstDefense-ISR.  It is an application virtualization system.  Think of it like VM Ware or Parallels, but on an application by application basis.  Want to install Microsoft Office 2003 and Microsoft Office 2000 at the same time?  No problem.  Just install each one it its own "layer" and activate the one you want to use at any given time.  Want to install a program for very occasional use but not have it hanging around, messing with your other programs, slowing down bootup and shutdown, eating all your food, and leaving the toilet seat up?  Just put it in a layer, activate it every once in awhile as needed, and then deactivate it until the next time.  Sounds great, doesn't it?  Well, it almost is.

Rasterbator: Mini-Review

Rasterbator8_50_30 PM.png
Print huge posters of your digital images.  Rasterbator (free) converts your images into tiny little dots, and then creates a multi-page pdf that you can print, assemble, and hang on your wall.  When you are close to the poster, you will see the little dots, but at a distance, they will blend together, and you will see the image in all its glory.

Rasterbator is a fun application that does what it says it does.  I am looking forward to decorating my office with these posters.  I wish the program would allow you to modify the default settings so that I wouldn't have to select the language, paper size, etc every time; but it is very quick to make the changes as it is.  I'll give it a 4.5 because of the lack of retainable settings.

Announcing The New DonationCoder.com Help Desk

Screenshot - 1_27_2007 , 5_34_14 PM_thumb.png
I am incredibly happy to announce that our new Help Desk / FAQ is now open and filled with content:

https://www.donationcoder.com/Help

It's built using KnowledgeBasePublisher and I couldn't be happier with it.

I hope it can serve as a resource for frequently asked questions and answers and as a place where we can organize all the various tips and tricks and trivia about the site, and it includes an easy question/comment submission form when you need more guidance.

You can get to the Help Desk at any time by clicking on the HELP link at the top of all of our pages.  And if you have any suggestions for Q&A subjects to add to the Help Desk please do let us know.
