Looks like its lights out at quinnware.com , home of QCD and QMP. I’ve still not found a suitable replacement for QMP yet and I probably was still hoping for that one last release despite the months of silence from the developer, but I guess the search is that much more urgent now. Thanks for the years...

I’ve mentioned that I’m using Comodo Firewall as my software firewall solution. Version 3 was even better than version 2, with low CPU utilisation (even while engaging in heavy P2P sessions) and secure (ranked consistently near the top in the Matousec firewall tests ). And now version 3.5 (renamed the...

So Firefox 3 and Norton 360 2.0 and Internet Security 2008 do not get along at all . This was probably a shock to the millions who use and trust Symantec products but I have to say this, Symantec is not nice. Symantec destroyed the reputation of the brand “Norton”, making the security applications bloated...

Came across an article about how the newer versions of software may not be better than previous versions, most of it caused by increasing feature sets and thus bloat. I am pretty particular about what goes on my PC as I need all the CPU power and RAM I can get for my weighty development tools. Rather...

Nice post by Joseph Guadagno about database drivers not provided by Microsoft . He missed a few though, so here they are: PostgreSQL PostgreSQL needs no introductions. Probably my favourite open source DBMS. Npgsql is de facto the ADO.NET provider. Performance and stability seems alright. PostgreSQLDirect...

Its been three years since the public last release but now CDBurnerXP 4.0 is finally available. The official website features a spanking new design too. CDBurnerXP is a freeware CD and DVD burning software for Windows, in case anybody did not know that. Most exciting new features for me, Unicode support...

I am typing this on WLW Beta 3 . I wrote about the first beta, which was already very usable at the time. This is the best of breed in blogging software on Windows. Quite a lot of changes for beta 3, but the best thing for me is "Publish XHTML-style markup". In other news, CCleaner 2.0 is now...

Its been a long time since I touched any classic ASP, apart from the odd quick fix to legacy projects. Anyway, I recently helped a friend out with a project, and was surprised to learn that there was an update to Windows Script, from 5.6 to 5.7. Wow! 5.6 shipped with XP, so its at least 5 years old....

I have been using QuickTime Alternative for a long time, but onegoodmove is crashing Firefox with the last available version of QT Alternative. And given the developers stopped any further development after Apple requested that they remove the package from their website, I needed an alternative. Now...
CCCP 15 "Chiyo-chan's Cute Player" is released. Whoo! Lots of smashing changes which you can read about on the release thread , but for me the best thing about this is the new, custom MPC logo. Though I guess it would be pretty weird firing up pornos after seeing that face ... ...*cough...
