Help us to set a Guinness World Record: most software downloaded in 24 hours. The version 3 of Firefox, the best browser in the world, is released today.
UPDATE: Seems like the Mozilla servers are hit hard by the traffic - they seem to be down. Still waiting for the final version (20:48 CEST)
Today I tried to upgrade to the newest Skype version 3.6.0.244 but I had some issues. Every time I ran the installer it stopped in the middle of the process showing me the following error message:
I found this forum post describing how to get rid of Error code 1603. Therefore I just had to download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and remove the Skype Plugin Manager.
It happened to me more than once that while I am working on my computer I forget about something I put in the oven only minutes ago (pizza, baguette, …). When I smell it it is always to late. So I looked out for a piece of software that reminds me after a period of time to go and catch my meal.
After trying a few different tools I am happy with Egg Timer 2.02 - might be something for you too!
This week I found a great tool for encrypting files - TrueCrypt. TrueCrypt is OpenSource and allows you to encrypt a whole partition or just files with AES-256, Serpent, or Twofish. These algorithms are very strong so without the selected password it is not possible to get to your data - do not forget your password 
TrueCrypt works under Windows and Linux. It is also perfect for storing files on USB memory sticks. Encrypted files are mounted like partitions and the access speed is really fast.
I also downloaded the free Virtual Appliance for Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn from jars.de. With the free VMware Player you I use it for test purposes under Windows.
As I already stated out some time ago I love Launchy! Now there is a new version 1.25 available and this is my download of the day. Thanks to LH for the information!
