One of the World's Best Jobs...

noreply@blogger.com (Kelly Software) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:39:00 +0000

From "The World's Best Jobs"...

Google (GOOG) has hired two lucky young men to ride around France on dopey looking tricycles snapping up photos of historical sites that are inaccessible by car. This three-wheeler is a sight with its long pole holding nine cameras, a GPS, a computer and a generator. But the contraption tooling around the French capital needs all that gear to do its job – adding three-dimensional images to Google's Street View Maps.

The riders, wearing Google tee-shirts and white helmets, are visiting well-known sites such as the Chateau de Versailles, west of Paris, the Jardin du Luxembourg on the city's Left Bank or Les Halles, in the busy centre of the French capital.

KatMouse...

noreply@blogger.com (Kelly Software) — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 21:31:00 +0000

KatMouse is cool, free mouse wheel enhancement for Windows that I've been using for several months now. Great tool!

The prime purpose of the KatMouse utility is to enhance the functionality of mice with a scroll wheel, offering 'universal' scrolling: moving the mouse wheel will scroll the window directly beneath the mouse cursor (not the one with the keyboard focus, which is default on Windows OSes). This is a major increase in the usefullness of the mouse wheel.

It actually produces the full page. It takes about a minute, so be patient. You get a choice of jpg or png. The png is much better quality.
