Reading the News

I decided to check out the The New York Times – Times Reader 2.0 today and it was a very enjoyable way to read the newspaper online. Much better than I expected.
SETI@Home plus other ways to share your CPU
February 4, 2009
I used to have all my computers running the SETI@Home. Then I switched from Windows to Mac and never reinstalled it. Today I found BOINC. It is a way to share your spare CPU cycles with numerous projects including SETI@Home.
I’m currently sharing my CPU with SETI@Home and climateprediction.net.
Launcher for Windows
August 19, 2008
At home I’m a Mac user and I’ve loved using Quicksilver to launch apps and search for files. At work it was frustrating me that I couldn’t do that same thing. Eventually I found Launchy. It is basically a poor man’s Quicksilver but it gets the job done quite nicely. Today I discovered yet another Windows launcher called Executor. Not sure how it compares to Launchy yet but at least the number of options are growing. Maybe at some point we’ll have some comparable to Quicksilver.
