Still lots of things happening out there in software-land.
- WinFUSE - Filesystem in Userspace - Write a new file system by implementing a C# class. (via
DotNetKicks)
-
Microsoft Office Outlook Tool: Time Zone Data Update Tool for Microsoft Office Outlook
- An important part of dealing with this year's changes to Daylight Savings Time.
- 6th Sense Analytics - These folks instrument
your computer to keep track of your development productivity, slurp the info up
to their server, and present it back to you in pretty reports in your browser. Free
personal account, enterprises can pay to aggregate team data. Doesn't float my boat
but the PSP crowd will be all over it, I expect.
-

up 20 new templates yesterday. Arno Nel has details and links.
-
ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0 Source Code - With debugging symbols.

depends on Exchange. Trial version is

- dbdesc 2.1 - Upgrade to this documenter for
SQL Server, Access, and Firebird databases. Trial download is

Spam Made Up 94% Of All E-Mail In December - That's according to Postini, who
have a vested interest in selling anti-spam services. But I keep track, and mine
is running 80-85% spam and viruses these days. Depressing, just depressing. It's
a wonder we can manage to use e-mail for anything useful at all.
- Joe Hewitt Firebug power user demo - Video of one of the best Web debugging tools out there.
Firebug by itself is enough reason to dump IE for Firefox. (via
CodeHappy)
- Serph - New meta-search engine aimed at reputation
management and similar use cases by searching across multiple other engines. In
beta, but easy to get an invite right on their home page.
- 3 Reasons Why Snap Preview is Ruining Your Blog, and Hurting Your Readership - Nick Wilson administers a quick kick
