EVENT: RSSWinterfest Webcast: January 21 & 22, 2004: Two Days of Overviews, Case Studies, Technology Demonstrations and Roundtable Discussions! This is a must attend event for anyone interested in learning the emerging field of RSS and Internet Content Syndication.

TIP: Grabbing Graphics In One Easy Click: If you are an avid Internet graphics grabber, use this quick tip to make your life easier. Using Explorer (with your links toolbar turned on), drag a shortcut of your 'My Documents' or 'My Pictures' folder, or any folder in which you save Internet graphics. When online, simply drag the picture from the Web site to the shortcut on the Links bar. The only downfall is that the file is saved with the server-side filename. This link takes you from 8 or more clicks to one! That's a time saver!

DOWNLOAD: Adventure: {Atari classic game} The program comes with the source code so programmers can add their own modifications to the classic. Adventure is one classic of which I am not familiar. That @#$&* dragon keeps scaring the heck out of me with its loud sound and won't go away. It plays just like the old computer games like Apple Manor where you work your way around a maze, picking up objects in search of the Chalice. Where's that sword so I can stop the duck-looking dragon from getting me?
DOWNLOAD: SyncBack v2.2.2: {Back up or sync files} Back up or synchronize important files to another drive, directory, or network. SyncBack is configurable and integrated with Windows Scheduler for automating backups. You can accomplish a simple backup by entering the destination and source directories and running it from there, skipping all other configuration. It successfully copied everything in the source directory in the backup directory. Process took less than five minutes. This is a good solution for those on a network or have backup media. From what I can tell, you can't ftp the files.
