Netjaxer

An interesting program that enables you to run Web2.0 [web apps] from your desktop. It actually just looks like a desktop-shortcut creator, but it does come with a Netjaxer browser you can use to run the programs from instead of [or as well as] your default browser.

I’ve installed and used this application and I can see no purpose for it. All it enables you to do is create shortcuts to your favourite web apps on your desktop, start menu, startup or quick launch. You can also minimise the program into your system tray.

One benefit I could see in using Netjaxer would be to quickly startup a document [like Writely or Gmail] within Netjaxer’s streamline browser without having to go through your default browser – which in my case is Firefox and has been using up a lot of unnecessary memory lately.

Google Earth on Conan

Just quickly:

Last night I was watching Late Night with Conan O’brien and I noticed something I thought was interesting. My understanding is Conan’s been to Finland already but here in Australia we get his show aired a few days later so this episode was before he’s his trip [it may have been a fairly old episode anyway].

I don’t know if anyone noticed, however, but during Conan talking about how long the trip will be, from New York to Helsinki, a graphic of Google Earth panning between either city played.

How cheap, I thought.

I’m looking for video of it.

Theme-a-day from If Else

Phu Ly from IfElse.co.uk fronts a great site and has started something interesting. He’s putting up an original theme every day to run on WordPress [the platform I use to make this site happen]. I have actually changed up the site and used his latest one – from Day3 – and mixed it up a bit, but, depending on what he brings out during the next few days, I might have a new look very soon. Nice work!

Skeletor

He-man was an all time favourite for me. The toys, the cartoon – that was my childhood. Remember that movie with Dolf Lundrum? Anyway, I was watching an episode on TV the other day and I was shocked to discover something I never realised..

Vyew

More web apps, here’s a great one that enables you to share your screen and other images with a group and discuss changes and what-not. Vyew is a flash-based collaborative service where you can invite people [into your own 'chatroom'] and, using a screen capture tool, make notes and draw over diagrams while talking through the skype-like application.
