Launchy, the open source keystroke launcher

Wednesday, December 12, 2007



Launchy is the most efficient way to open files, folders, websites, and
programs on your computer. Nobody likes to hunt through the start menu to
find an application, just to find that the application is hidden under some
obscure folder named after a company you have never heard of! Instead,
Launchy is a smart search program which tries to guess which program or file
you are looking for and will launch it when you hit the enter key. It is only
visible when you hit the alt+space key combination; otherwise it hides in the
background. Once you have used it for a few days, it becomes an indispensable
You can also configure Launchy to index more than the programs in your start menu,
such as folders, mp3s, docs, pdfs, avis, etc.

Huge "Dorito" UFO filmed in the UK. Today.

Sunday, December 2, 2007

Update:

Seems that the newspaper have used a pic from the 1990 Belgium sighting. Here's the original Belgium "Dorito: sighting 17 years ago.









I'm not a UFO fan or anything like that, though the mystery that there may be other life on other planets does fascinate me. I confess I have a huge collection of SF novels collected over the years!

Some UFO sightings do draw a lot of attention, especially if the UFO has been photographed, and confirmed that it is not a fake. The UFO sighting filmed by the Italian astronomer was pretty amazing, and so I blogged about it.

There's news today of a flurry of sightings, of what's being called the "Dorito" UFO, and seems someone has actually filmed a 10 minute shot of the low-flying giant craft.

The still photo above is amazingly clear, and does not represent any known experimental craft, nor was any sound heard. I'm waiting for more news on this!

Multiple desktops in Windows - Virtual desktop



The experience with Shock4way freeware 3D mutiple desktop cube has been, well, a little dissapointing. When run in Mojopac, there is a possibility of a hang, probably due to some sort of memory clash. The search for a stable multiple desktop led to this gem: Virtual Desktop.

Virtual Desktop is open-source, free and stable. What's more, you can have any number of deskops and switch easily from one to another. As a bonus, you can literally drag an application from one desktop to another. It's stable, I virtually (heh) guarantee that!
