Five Best Software Update Tools
October 20th, 2009 at 11:11 AMCNET just launched their tech tracker. Apart from the fact it requires you to creat a cnet login, it’s great. I’ve tried sumo and hippo and this seems to be the best. Secunia PSI is also something I run because of its focus on security.
Five Best Windows Task Manager Alternatives
October 12th, 2009 at 4:17 PMProcess Hacker FTW. After that, Process explorer.

Browser Chooser Asks You Which Browser To Open New Links In
September 8th, 2009 at 1:19 PMI wrote a similar c# program to look at the link and then open an appropriate browser. At this point I’ve only hard coded the browser choices into the program. If anyone’s interested though let me know.
Use Google Reader As Your Own Private Google
September 1st, 2009 at 9:26 AMCan’t believe some people think RSS is dead. I mean really? Just because twitter is now around or something?
Five Best Disk Defragmenters
August 31st, 2009 at 8:46 AMI find it so hard to compare defrag utilities when it’s so hard to measure how ‘good a job’ each one has done – any ideas?
Use Google Calendar To Send Free SMS
August 26th, 2009 at 12:50 PMThat sounds like a lot of work to be honest

“VACUUM”
Default Programs Editor Changes File Associations With Ease
August 18th, 2009 at 9:23 AMCan’t download this at work, but can someone confirm for me that this is similar to nirsoft shellexview and the like?
Five Best Video Players
August 10th, 2009 at 1:23 PMVLC all the way, baby. Having said that I haven’t yet tried XMBC – although I though that was more of a media server-type solution?

August 7th, 2009 at 10:30 AMLastpass all the way, baby!
TrackEngine Tells You When Sites Change
August 5th, 2009 at 10:51 PMAh, hate to point out the obvious, but if you’re not a ‘toolbar fan’ you can just store the bookmarklet in your bookmarks like everything else?
Oh, and not too sure I’d count cutting journalism reporting a service that was registered in 31-jan-2000 according to whois.
Never Use Inactive Webmail As Your Secondary Email Account
July 31st, 2009 at 9:04 AMQuestion – does anyone know if logging into the IMAP or POP3 server counts as “logging into” the service for the purposes of keeping it active?
FeedDemon, NetNewsWire To Sync Exclusively With Google Reader
July 31st, 2009 at 8:55 AMI’m sorry, but I for one will be sorry to see Newsgator Online go. Maybe it’s the fact that I’ve used it every day for the past few years that will make me miss it.
Ironically, I did check out Google Reader about a year ago, but decided to stick with Newsgator because I liked the (back then) WinMo client.
I go my wife using it, and she’s stuck with it ever since too.
It will be missed.
