Get yourself a copy of Firefox 3 on the day it’s released from this site and you’ll be doing your bit to get Firefox downloads in the world record books.
Yup, you’ll also be falling for a huge marketing gag designed to get Firefox installed on as many machines as possible, but it’s a damned good [...]
I’d love to know what on earth got into Adobe’s head when they decided to turn their PDF reader into a stinking pile of sluggish bloatware? Who here remembers the old days when the Adobe Reader download was less than 10MB?
Take a look at the details on their current download page (which I was recently [...]

Just a quick one this morning. I have starting gathering a list of software applications that I use all the time (or will use) which I find to be good. There’s quite a few of these lists out there already, but I thought I’d comment on the stuff that I find useful and give you [...]
After reading Dan’s response to this a few days ago, I decided to have a bit of a play with Notepad++. I do think it’s a very nice little text editor with some lovely features. It’s quitck, it’s simple, and the syntax hilighting works a treat (no thanks to Scintilla of course). One thing I [...]
