Copy/move Replacement and Enhancement Utilities

"Is it possible to build a replacement or enhancement for the native Windows' copy/move functions such that if files in the destination directory have the same name as files to be moved, one or the other is automatically renamed?"

Flock is a webbrowser like Firefox, but it has some nifty extra features.

Flock is a free web browser that makes it easier than ever to share photos, stay up-to-date with news from your favorite sites, and search the Web.

It integrates nicely with flickr and photobucket, has support for many blog engines. There is more, but I have yet to discover everything.

I'm running a pirated version of Windows and can't get caught!

mycaps Screenshot - 001 , 11_57_AM , Aug 08 2006_thumb.png
Ed Bott's blog today contains this funny quote:

I'm reluctantly running a pirated version of Windows and can't get caught no matter how hard I try.
...
I just experienced a Windows Genuine Advantage failure. Only it’s not a false positive, like the horror stories I’ve been hearing for nearly two months now. No, this one was a false negative. The whole story says a lot about how Microsoft is approaching the WGA issue.

The Start-up Inflection point: Nice Blog Article

inflect1.jpg
Nice Blog Article by Scott Berkun on challenges faced by startups as they hire..

There is one pattern in the tech sector that is so common, and so under-explored[1], that I’m compelled to talk about it here. I call it the start-up inflection point.

The basic premise:
  • Small engineering start-up is born, does well, hires like mad.
  • Heavy hiring bias for self-driven solo programmer prodigies.
  • Company grows; scores of engineers running around.
  • Soon primary challenge isn’t quality programmers: it’s organizing them.

No matter how self-directed programmers are, eventually their utility declines as ambiguities in direction, roles, goals and ownership become increasingly distracting and frustrating. The company is changing because of scale effects - but scale effects are hard to recognize, predict or compensate for. HIring more brilliant engineers won’t solve this problem.

The Paradigm Shift on AOL's massive search keyword dump - great reading

blog clipart
Ok this is may not be everyone's cup of tea, but the blog "The Paradigm Shift" has some really interesting thoughts on a recent publication of massive amounts of keyword search statistics by AOL.  As i understand it, basically this is highly sought after data that can help spammers, advertisers, and specialists in improving site rankings on google (and thus publicity) to figure out what words to use on their pages to get more traffic.



Aol Releases Googles most prized Keyword List… Google is gonna get mega spammed.
...

The big affiliate marketers will make millions off this,  i’m already busy processing the data,  and after taking a quick peak at the data its an absolute gold mine for PPC and SEO.
