Ever since Google disabled its RSS reader, I have been using Fever. But there are two problems: (1) The developer shut it down, and (2) the license is tied to a specific domain. But now I need to move my server to a new domain. The good news: domain checking only happens during installation. I…

Bad Experience with Afian File Manager
I recently installed the Afian File Manager for a customer. All they needed was a simple way for safely sharing large files with customers. There are plenty of web file managers available (free and commercial), but surprisingly few support uploads beyond what the web server allows. Afian was one of them.

The Hunt for Gollum
This weekend an amazing film got released: The Hunt for Gollum, a side plot from the Lord of the Rings. Watch it for free online. This movie shows how the whole can be so much more than the sum of the parts, and that the Internet is an amazing enabler. Enjoy.
