DivX Player for PocketPC

DivX player is one of our favourite media player for watching those downloaded movies on a Desktop PC. Impressing is that they are working on a Windows Mobile version as well with an update released just today, the latest version 0.90 doesn't seem to live upto the expectations.

He is recommending CorePlayer which is nothing but a remake of the free TCPMP with some nice user-interface, but I presonally prefer TCPMP which is way better.

HOW TO Quickie: Embedded Flickr Slideshows

Dig those flash Flickr slideshows? All that’s needed is a bit of code to embed them within your website to give your readers something dynamic.

<iframe align=center src=http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/index.gne?user_id=12345678@N00&tags=foo frameBorder=0 width=500 scrolling=no height=500></iframe>

Place this somewhere on your website or within a blog post. Change user_id from 12345678@N00 to your flickr id, which you can find out with this idgettr. Also replace foo with the tags of the photos you wish to display.

Other parameters include the following:

tag_mode=

set_id=

group_id=

If you want to use one of these extra parameters just add it after your user_id with a separating ampersand (&).

Snackr is an RSS Addict's Dream Come True

Snackr is a new Adobe AIR app that lets you display items in your RSS feeds in a beautiful scrolling ticker on any edge of your screen. I am absolutely giddy about it after only a few minutes of use. Snackr is something you'd supplement your existing reader with, not a replacement. It is not for the faint of heart or information averse, either.

You can have Snackr running at the top, bottom, left or right margin of your screen.

The idea is not to read every item here, but to give your eye some opportunity to catch items it might not otherwise.

Snackr was built by Narciso Jaramillo, a long time Adobe developer now working on the Flex product line.

5 Tools Everyone Working Online Should Have (IMHO)

Written by Marshall Kirkpatrick / May 9, 2008 4:49 PM / 40 Comments

Multi-service IM

If you're on a Mac check out Adium, on Windows try Miranda. Once you take a few minutes to get this set up, you'll never go back.

Cross Platform Screensharing Tool

I've been using Yugma lately and it works well for Mac to Windows sharing. Many people really like Yuuguu.

A Custom Search Engine

Google Custom Search Engine lets you paste in a list of URLs and create a "miniature search engine" that brings back results only from those URLs you've selected. I use these all day long, every day. The next time you think "Damn, Marshall sure took some time to research details on this post" - you can know now that it was really just my Custom Search Engines at work.

Startpage

usually use Netvibes just because it's easy to share pages, the OPML handling is pretty good and the mobile version is great.

Blog With Your Name and Contact Info

far better than most resumes

Step 1: Click Edit in the toolbar, then click Preferences.

Step 2: Click on the Content tab.

Step 4: Uncheck Move or Resize Existing Windows.

clipped from www.last100.com

Thanks to some great third-party software, and Sony’s decision to add support for the UPnP AV standard, the PS3 has, in some ways, become a better solution than Apple’s own offering to the problem of streaming content - audio, video and photos - from a Mac to the TV. Here’s our quick guide to creating a Mac-supported PS3 media center.
