Nvu – WYSIWIG HTML editor

Just read on The Download Squad that the latest version of Nvu has been released. It’s a free WYSIWIG HTML editor – I tried it a while back and it was pretty good – I’ll have to try it again. I always thought the editor in the Mozilla Suite was pretty good but I don’t want to install the Mozilla suite now that I use Firefox and Thunderbird.

Audiobook: The Pocket and the Pendant

The Pocket and the Pendant was a Podiobook – an audiobook released in podcast format. It just ended this past weekend. GREAT book! I encourage anyone who likes sci-fi to check it out. Since the podcast is over, you can stop by the site and just download the whole thing – it’s free and it’s a really good audiobook! If you use Firefox you can download all MP3s quickly and easily with the DownThemAll extension. I use it all the time to download legal MP3s off of websites (like 3hive.com).

For other great podiobooks, visit podiobooks.com. Earthcore is GREAT!

MP3 Jukebox

Now that it is warm again, time to start on my MP3 jukeboxes again. I don’t have TOOO much left to do really. I got a piece of good news yesterday – my sister-in-law’s notebook computer’s screen died so they bought a new desktop PC and they offered the laptop to me! It should be the perfect PC for the MP3 jukebox! Not sure of the specs yet, but it should do fine – it doesn’t take much to play MP3s and run Wincab.

Password Management with Password Safe

This one is for The Sitter Downers:

For a password keeper, here is what I do:
I have Password Safe on my USB memory drive on my keychain. It’s is freeware, open source and needs no install. You can run it off of your usb drive from any computer. You remember one main password and it keeps all of your passwords. I have been using it for years – it’s great!

Audioscrobbler

I just rediscovered Audioscrobbler….I had heard about it before but couldn’t get it to work. It keeps track of what muisc you have listened to. You download and install a plugin into your favorite MP3-playing program (I use Foobar 2000) and then it keeps track of what you listen to. Here is an image that shows the last few tracks I have recently listened to:

So, what are YOU listening to?
