Process Tamer and Translator Boomerang
I heard about you from ShellX City, your Find and Run Robot I believe. Process Tamer has become my favorite though. It's pretty much perfect as is. Your site has made it onto my daily surfing list and I'm always thrilled to find you guys have released a new toy. Really that is why I decided to donate - you make this compulsive tooler happy. I really like your business model; it's very very cool of you to take this approach and I appreciate that by supporting you I'm also helping out other folks who cannot afford to donate to your most worthy cause...one more thing: you've really helped out my network's users by releasing the [Google Translator] Boomerang - responses from support are much more amusing..

The Best Introductory Language

Screenshot - 4_13_2007 , 12_20_35 PM_thumb.png
Now I'll just bet the best way to start programming is NOT to jump into C/C++, which was what I did.

...This paper examines several approaches to which programming language is the best, and afterwards gives several useful relations for which languages should come first. Finally it gives a final verdict, defends it and then gives some other good food for thought...

Five Website Annotation Programs

Screenshot - 4_13_2007 , 12_11_43 PM_thumb.png
Here is a review of five tools for adding annotations to web pages.

*Diigo (A must have for researchers) is a research tool that lets you share bookmarks and annotations on web pages using a browser plugin or bookmarklet. Notes are anchored to highlighted text and bookmarks...
*Fleck (Bare bones) is the most basic of the annotation services, letting you simply post public or private text notes on a page. Notes can be posted by using a browser plugin or by ajax when Fleck feeds web pages...
*ShiftSpace (Have your way with any webpage) is an opensource browser plugin (FF only) being developed by NYU’s Interactive Telecommunication Program and is pretty close to internet graffiti. The plugin allows their users...
*Stickis (Subscribe to only the annotations you want) is a web page annotation service that lets you subscribe to content “channels” from your friends and the community via a browser plugin. We previously covered...
*Trailfire (Create and share tours of the web) is an IE and Firefox plugin that lets you post notes (called marks) right on top of a webpage and string them together with hyperlinks (making “trails”). The plugin consists of a note...

Here's a game to stimulate your thinking (well ok, just your recall of long-term memory) in addition to your motor skills, though you do have to register to play.

How to make a multi-monitor compatible wallpaper

Screenshot - 4_13_2007 , 10_46_47 AM_thumb.png
Here's a rare post from one of my favorite magazine's website that provides a nice wallpaper-making tutorial for multimonitor users.

I run a delightful tri-monitor display at work, and over the years, I've always been pissed that wallpaper just doesn't display right with multiple monitors. Not only can you not display separate backgrounds on different displays, but if your displays are different resolution, one of them is going to look either stretched and fugly, or cropped and weird. So, last week I set out to figure out an easy way to make multimon-friendly wallpaper.
