VLC media player on Windows Vista

Posted in Tools at 19:47 by Niklas

The new version (0.8.6) of VLC Player works on Windows Vista! Good news indeed, it can now play stuff and still let your windows be transparent. It might have been called a small glitch, but it was very annoying every time the entire screen blinked and told you about the problem. Now its back to just being the best video player. Thanks!

More fun for swedes

Det verkar inte finnas några krav på teknisk windows-kompetens för att få översätta programvara till svenska, en anledning i raden för att inte köra windows på svenska. Men vi kör svenska på en dator ändå… Vid installation av en förvissa gammal bluetooth grej dök denna upp och slog mig med häpnad:

Förarsignatur… typ på sitt datorkörkort :)

Snap installed

Installed the cool Wordpress plug-in Snap this week, I was quite surprised the first time I encountered in on an a site, and was amazed by the fact that I could have it for free… :) It generates a little preview of the page a link links to when you hover the mouse pointer above it.

Look at it go :)

Sometimes it takes some time to generate the preview, but ofter it’s really quick.
