Learn Anything, Be Anything, For Free 2008-10-13 03:20:56 The title of this post might be a slight exaggeration, since “anything” is a very broad term, but let’s not quibble over semantics, k?

Power Toys and Tweak Utilities For PC, MAC and Linux 2008-12-22 03:58:28 I remember the first time I downloaded Tweak
UI for Windows 95 twelve years ago. Ok, I don’t really remember much about it, but I do remember being all giddy and excited to be able to tweak lots of little system configurations via a simple, all-in-one-place utility. Tweak toys generally don’t enable users to [...] Read more:Linux
