Link Roundup 2-25-07

Some cool links I found this week while surfing teh InterWeb:

  • Woot Watcher Firefox Extension - Get the latest from Woot without having to visit the site or check your feed aggregator
  • LibraryThing Suggester - you tell it a book that you like and it will suggest other works you might find interesting
  • Visuwords - graphical dictionary, must experience this one for yourself
  • Google Talk as Universal Messenger - use your Google Talk account to talk to all of your friends that are still on loser IM networks like MSN, AIM, and Yahoo (EDIT: YMMV with this one, it's only kind of working for me in that I have to be signed in on Psi and logged in to the MSN transport for my msn contacts to show up in Google Talk)
  • Delete Mistyped Entries in Firefox Url Bar
  • Windows To Linux Roadmap - IBM developerworks article with handy tips for migrating from Windows to Linux
  • Virtual PC 2007 - for some strange reason, Microsoft has decided to release the new version of Virtual PC as a free download. This app is great for experimenting with Linux without leaving the comfort of your Windows installation.
  • The 4 Best Ways to Sit at Your Computer - me being ever more RSI conscious, I found this one interesting. I'm seriously considering the exercise ball, myself.
  • Learn the Fingered Whistle - I always wanted to know how to do this...we'll see how successful I am
Note: Almost all of the above links were found through http://lifehacker.com a site which I have recently discovered and really, really like.
