Commodore 64 nostalgia (II)

If you simply cannot get enough of the groovy music from the good old Commodore 64, you should take a look at the Danish Commodore 64 revival band: PESS PLAY ON TAPE.

ImageWell - free image editing for Mac OS

I was looking for a handy application for editing my photos and stumbled upon ImageWell. ImageWell is not as fancy as Photoshop but it is very useful for everyday tasks, such as resizing, cropping, and rotating images. You can save the images in PNG, JPEG, or TIFF format and even add watermarks (for very secret or copyrighted stuff :) Oh, I forgot to mention that ImageWell is freeware and available for Mac OS X only.

Alternative Clocks for the iPod generation

Do you also fell that conventional clocks are too boring and too mainstream. Well, if you are looking for new ways of spending your time without knowing what time it is...you should take a look at the three rather innovative clocks below. You can get both the Polar Clock and the Grid-Based Clock as screensavers for Mac OS X and Windows.

Commodore 64 nostalgia (I)

Do you remember the good old tunes accompanying the classic C64 games? Would you like to revive them? Yes, I assume that you are very interested in hearing soundtracks from great games, such as Commando, Burning Rubber, Flying Shark, Into the Eagle's Nest, Nemesis, Spy Hunter, Wonderboy, Tiger Mission, and my all time favorite Who Dares Wins. Well, I could go on forever...

For Mac OS X, you can use SIDPLAY to play C64 songs. SIDPLAY is a Commodore 64 music player that emulates the C64 sound chip (SID). You can get most of the classic tracks from The High Voltage SID Collection, which contains more than 33,000 titles keeping you busy for a long time :)

Detecting LCD pixel errors

Just came across LCDTest, a Mac OS X application for detecting pixel errors, checking color transitions, etc. by providing various test patterns. Fortunately, I didn't have any pixel errors on my MacBook. Unfortunately, I have encountered the infamous display flickering problem.

Analyzing web traffic using Google Analytics

If you are looking for an easy-to-use-and-free online tool for analyzing your website, Google Analytics is certainly worth trying out. It has been around for quite a while but the latest update offers a complete rewrite of the user interface (using Flash) which is really cool. Tempted? Take the guided tour and sign up afterwards :)
