MAC users have enjoyed a quick launch tool for programs that is intuitive and easy to use. Now XP and Vista users can too with Rocketdock
. When you mouse over the icon, it enlarges and takes an exaggerated shape that you can click on to launch that application. Check out www.rocketdock.com. 
I wrote about this in Early August but am bringing it back up. The dreaded subject of disk defragmentation.
If you are diligent about keeping your machine running optimally, as I try to be, check out this screensaver which, when it runs, it defrags your hard drive. Don’t be alarmed by all the comments you will get on it, but it will surely get someone’s attention. Us this if you are constantly forgetting about defragging your drive.

Take the screensaver program and copy it over the system32 directory and then right click on your desktop > select screensaver and pick the JKDefrag screensaver and you’re done.

Ok, I have to tell you about my new favorite web site. Fancast.com. 
Fancast is an aggregator for TV shows and movies you can view online. Because it is an aggregator of various TV shows and websites, you don’t have to go to the different websites to go view the show you want to watch. Whether it’s on CBS or Hulu, it doesn’t matter, you can search for it on Fancast. Also, when you leave a show in the middle before you finish the show, because you know the phone always rings during the climatic part of the movie, Fancast will remember where you left off and you can resume your program. My new favs are the Fringe and the Mentalist. Check it out, you’ll like it.
Adding to your music library is as easy as a simple Google search if you know a bit about some advanced searching hacks in Google. Here is the simple way to make this work, just copy and paste this text below in the Google search field:
-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(wma|mp3) “<creed/weathered>”
The above entry is going to do a search of directories on the Internet with mp3 or wma files that are by the band called “Creed” and in particular, I’m looking for the song called “weathered’.
Just simply change the entry for BAND/SONG at the end of this statement to get what you are after. If you want just entries from that particular band or artist, simply put that name in there and leave the slash and the song off.
Ok, go ahead and give it a try and happy listening.
