BurnCDCC.

BurnCDCC. Nice little freeware utility for burning ISO files to CD. Saves powering up big clunky progs like Nero.  This utility is used to burn an ISO file to a CD/DVD disc. Many new systems come with a limited CD/DVD software package which lacks the ability to burn .ISO files.

Retraction

Mmm…a Ferret retraction. Apparently the openwares.org site (no link for obvious reasons) is not as OK as we believed in this post. So please remove the recommendation from your hearts and minds immediately. This has been a public service announcement. [Thanks to Ecio for the info and apologies all round.]

Favour.

Thanks very very much to all of you who’ve taken the time to comment on the site performance (what a lovely bunch!). I’d love for just a few more to get a statistically significant sample. Purlease? Don’t make the Ferret beg, he’s far too old.  Ta! :-)

Bodyboard.

The BodyBoard. Wow, the Peugeot Design Competition really throws up some funky concept vehicles, eh?  BodyBoard – the lie-down electric go-kart. The BoadyBoard rider lies head first in a harness, getting a speed sensation blast just centimeters above the tarmac. Propulsion comes via the powerful electric engines inside each wheel that are powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. The BodyBoard also has the lowest centre of gravity possible – it’s below the axle line. Along with the bird’s eye view and four powerful inside-the-wheel…

Cuff control.

A real gentleman wouldn’t be seen dead with his shirt cuffs askew. Hence the uber usefulness of these Emergency Cufflinks. £7.99 ($12.92)  This wafer thin sheet of etched steel, comes complete with two pairs of twist-out emergency cufflinks for all those times (and oh how many have their been!) when you’ve left your real ones behind or more probably just lost one of them. They are quite simply, brilliant.

TrafficCam.

The TrafficCam proglet for Symbian Series 60 phones. More a proof of concept than a proper ‘product’, but super cool anyway. Although you need Python installed on the phone, which is not so great if you don’t know where to get it from (hint!).
