This lil critter looks to be a MUST have if you work on computers!

I am not doing it much any more but I may get one just to be able to mount hard drives without having to screw around with the entire computer. Gotta be a way to justify getting this. The refurbs look a little better price wise. The marketoid blurb states:

“Disk Jockey can be used with your Windows or Macintosh computer connected via the high-speed Firewire or USB 2.0 ports or it can be used as a stand alone unit. Disk Jockey lets you mount drives to your desktop, mirror (RAID 1) or span hard disk, copy data between hard disks at lightening speeds, verify, test and erase hard disks. Disk Jockey is the only hard disk copy and diagnostic tool you’ll ever need!”

Welcome to java vector graphic drawing application and library kingdom!

Works fine on the iBook. Got to spend some more time with it but that seems the way of everything lately. Not sure that I will use it for anything but not sure I won’t. Gimp does most of what I need and Graphic Converter does the rest but they aren’t drawing apps.

Time will tell…

Free software movement – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Free software movement – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And once again it sneaks into my thoughts… as i sit here on my iBook with it’s totally proprietary os and hardware platforms…

This paragraph hits especially hard:
“On the other hand, many who prefer the term “free software” and consider themselves part of the movement do not believe proprietary software to be strictly immoral. They argue, however, that freedom is valuable (both socially and pragmatically) as a property of software in its own right, separate from technical quality in a narrow sense. Moreover, they may use the term “free software” to distance themselves from claims that “open-source” software is always technically superior to proprietary software (which is often demonstrably false, at least in the short term). In this sense, they object that “open-source” advocates, by concentrating solely on technical merits, encourage users to sacrifice their freedom (and the long-term benefits thereof) for short-term conveniences that proprietary software may provide.”

Xebece is a multipurpose tool for information visualization and organization.

Looks interesting. Not sure I have a use for it but not sure I don’t either.
