Did you know that, until the end of the month, WinX DVD Author (usually $30) and WinX DVD Ripper (usually $25) are FREE?
With DVD author you can burn loads of file formats to DVD and really make it your own with a personalized title, chapter menus, background images, music and so much more.
And the Ripper, well…rips.
Windows only.

Want a really easy drag and drop room planner?
Got one for you. I found this one on La Difference’s website and it’s created by icovia.com (but icovia provide these planners for a number of clients so you may have come across it elsewhere).
Very easy to navigate, with a number of pre-built plans to pick from. You can also choose a blank plan and specify your own dimensions. Once you’ve chosen the room you want to remodel, simply drag and drop the relevant items from the left side panel, then resize, zoom and measure away… hours of fun.
Yet another Twitter app.
Twitkit is in beta right now but it’s working pretty well.
I like the keyboard shortcut to get it to open and the fact that it’s not open all the time (a la Digsby et al).
When Twitter works of course

Now all they need to do is make it work for Firefox 3…Experimental only (so you’ll need to log in) for Firefox 3 right now
This morning I was able to ‘update’ my delicious buttons and toolbar in Firefox 3. And it’s even better than before.
There’s now a ‘bookmarks’ button that loads your delicious bookmarks in a sidebar. You can still ‘tag’ and go to the delicious website. I’m a big fan of screen real estate so I’m not using the toolbar.
Oh, and the buttons look prettier too. Very important.
OK. I’m getting into this Firefox 3.
I’ve just realised I don’t need to mourn the my loss of my ‘No Squint’ add-on because FF3 has a built in ability to zoom in and out. And not just the text either, which was always a problem with No Squint. It also increases the size of the pictures. Very nice.
How to?
Simply press CTRL and + to increase and CTRL and – to decrease. Easy peasy.
After a COMPLETE uninstall it’s working fine.
No more crashes when I so much as glance the other way. Relief.
And who knew it would be so much fun adding all those bookmarks again. Of course, if the delicious buttons worked…. Ahem.
I have never had any problems with Firefox 2. I know, some people think it’s way too slow, but I hardly experienced any crashes, loved, loved, loved all my add-ons, especially Tab Mix Plus, and generally just had a hassle-free browsing experience.
RC2, notsomuch.
I have NEVER had so many crashes before. It’s making me crazy. It even crashed when I tried to re-install 2.0. WTF?
It HAS to go…and the only way is to use IE7. WTF??????
