After rewriting TC’s engine I figured out that it needs more informative progress bars. It will now display the amount of both read and written data.

This version is still in development, any suggestions are welcomed.

Update: v2.0 beta is released

Yesterday I’ve read a few lines about Pidgin in a computer magazine and immediately downloaded it, because it looked very promising. Support of multiple protocols (AIM, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, Google Talk) is exactly what I need for technical support purposes.

Some time ago Trillian was the good option, but then I discovered QIP, which was much better in many aspects. Unfortunately, QIP works with the ICQ protocol only, but I still highly recommend it to the ICQ fans who do not like to mess with plugins. QIP already has a lot of nice features in the standard package.

Pidgin looks rather simple right after install, but it comes with plenty of plugins. There are many useful ones, so check them out. Additionaly, I’ve downloaded Guifications, a customizable plugin for “toaster” popup notifications. You can see here how it looks.

Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It’s intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).

With synergy, all the computers on your desktop form a single virtual screen. You use the mouse and keyboard of only one of the computers while you use all of the monitors on all of the computers. You tell synergy how many screens you have and their positions relative to one another. Synergy then detects when the mouse moves off the edge of a screen and jumps it instantly to the neighboring screen. The keyboard works normally on each screen; input goes to whichever screen has the cursor.

Do you wish you could cut and paste between computers? Now you can! Just copy text, HTML, or an image as you normally would on one screen then switch to another screen and paste it. It’s as if all your computers shared a single clipboard. And it does it all in Unicode so any text can be copied.

If you regularly use multiple computers on one desk, give synergy a try. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
