I’ve recently started using Croppy, a simple Windows screenshot utility. It works perfectly for quickly sharing images with friends and colleagues - launch the app, resize the transparent crop window, and click “upload to web”. An image of whatever you were looking at is uploaded and a URL copied to your clipboard. Very similar in function to the Mac-based Skitch software - but much more lightweight.

Friday, October 20th, 2006Looks like Linux is finally getting some love from Adobe/Macromedia! After being stuck with a bug-ridden Flash Player 7 for years, they’ve stepped up and put out a beta version of Flash Player 9 for Linux. I have yet to try it, but it looks promising. More and more sites are moving up to Flash 8, and now (hopefully) we’ll be rid of the terrible audio-video synchronization issues that the Linux version of Flash 7 has always had.
