Clusty the Clustering Search Engine

Filed under: Interesting Findings around 4:22 am

Clusty is the search site owned and operated by Vivísimo that aims to change the way people search online. It uses our award-winning Clustering Engine to organize search results into folders grouping similar items together. This is a nice alternative to the all powerful Google.

Search the web in clusters. Results are grouped, or clustered, in ways that make sense, such as by topic, by source, or by Web address. Will this new search engine be the Google killer? Well it is a pretty good search engine. Hey why don’t you try it out and see?

Really useful tool for hunting down suspicious tasks in Windows

Filed under: Interesting Findings around 4:22 am

Very comprehensive list! At the least it’s great for ID’ing spyware, virii and worms on infested machines.

In fact, this site is a bit better. e.g. svchost on tasklist.org has about 8 entries. Most of which indicated that the svchost.exe is spyware or worm added and NOT the microsoft file that it is. On processlibrary.com (and any number of other sites) it indiacates that it is a microsoft service host process and that it MAY be used by a few viruses, but that it is low risk.

Another way is to download Process Explorer.

These are good tools that would be helpful for finding what processes are running adware/spyware/malware. It would follow along with an article on removing spyware. The article is a good rule of thumb to follow when you are removing malisious software.

Now I dont have to freakout whenever I see a process I dont know. I think a simple google search is better for hunting down processes. You get more sites likes this, some better, some worse, to choose from and base a decision on. You can also flip the search over to Google Groups/Usenet to see if there are any discussions for the REAL suspicious ones.

Good Fonts for Grapic Designers

Filed under: Eye Catching, Interesting Findings around 5:48 am

A great resource listing 300 good fonts for graphic designers. They are free to download in .ttf format (works on both MacOSX and Windows machines). A nice way of wading through the enormous list of fonts available on the web nicely organized.

I hate searching for a font only to be asked to pay at the very end when I have already decided I like it. This is a great resource. Just in case anyone is wondering, if you want to download all these fonts, use the Down Them All! Firefox extension and choose *.ttf. Save them all to a folder and drag all of them into the Windows Fonts folder. Done :)

It’s great to not have to look through hundreds of junk fonts. This will be truly useful, especially since it also breaks it down into types of fonts.

In addition, I’d recommend DaFont. Their collection is huge, and includes most of the fonts covered. Just check the licensing before using any of them in a commercial project, as it varies, depending.

Other interesting sites: 1001fonts.com
and Larabie Fonts .

Download DVDShrink here

Filed under: Interesting Findings around 5:46 am

Feel free to jump on this opportunity. Not many websites continue to host it.

The program is not hard to find. Here’s the link which gave the true story. Follow the links…

“The development of DVD Shrink had already ceased, the last version of the tool was released more than a year ago..”

My only question is were is the source? If they do not want to continue the project, the community should continue it! Good to see people are all willing to keep these programs alive and served for as long and frequent as possible. If the community gets a hold of it, the software will never die just grow. I do not see these programs going a way like many have said.

Tech Support Excuse Generator

Filed under: Interesting Findings around 5:38 am

Ever want to talk over people’s heads while working on the support desk? Here’s you new best tool!

I think I’m going to call Dell up and use a couple of these on them, they will explode like fembots that have been aroused. Anyone that has actually ever provided tech support by phone knows that most end users will not accept techno jargon for answers.

Anybody who thinks those retarded mixed up tech words would actually make good tech support excuses, has obviously never provided tech support, or they have no business providing tech support.

Here’s a BOFH excuse generator you can put on your desktop. This lik prompts you to download an .exe file.

Web standards complient WYSIWYG

Filed under: Interesting Findings around 5:37 am

The problem with most content management systems is that they are let down by their WYSIWYG. Finally however there is a WYSIWYG that not only enforces semantic code but also ensures basic accessibility.

Ultimate Boot CD for Windows

Filed under: Interesting Findings around 5:37 am

UBCD4Win is a bootable CD which contains software that allows you to repair/restore/diagnostic almost any computer problem. All software included in UBCD4Win are freeware utilities for Windows®. UBCD4Win uses Bart’s PE© to boot into a Windows® “pre-install” environment, basically Windows® booted from CD.

It’s decent but I think I prefer Knoppix which has all the functionality that this does. It’s great for those not familiar with Linux though.
