They often use a command line to run programs such as ping, traceroute, nslookup, whois, etc. Codeflux has an Internet tools gateway that allows you to run such programs from the convenience of your web browser.

Google boffins are starting to play with colors. The good thing is that now we can too! This Wednesday, Google rolled out a much awaited feature to Gmail. Bright, colorful, fantastic themes! I wouldn’t have caught it but for the little feed Google gives on the signing page. And lo and behold, just a little [...]

Automattic, the company behind the Wordpress blogging platform, currently hosts over 4.5 million blogs. According to their download counter, they have served just over 3.1 million downloads of their self-hosted blogging software. With nearly 8 million blogs in the wild, it’s easy to see that many content publishers have embraced the platform’s ease of use [...]

How To Make XP Look Like Windows 7

Just recently Laurence gave us a little preview of Windows 7 . It looks like it is going to bring major improvements, with the benefit of being just as pretty as Vista. Unless you decide to finally go OS or Linux (I put off Vista because I could not decide), Windows 7 will hopefully make [...]

Gmail gave all its loyal users (and even the not-so-loyal ones) an early Christmas present yesterday: themes.

Get More Use Out Of Your RSS Feeds with Snackr
From MakeUseOf.com, 1 day ago,

RSS feeds have become the de facto standard for delivering massive amounts of content in a very simple to read and simple to understand format. Any website delivering daily, weekly or even monthly updates, and lacking a ‘Really Simple Syndication’(RSS) feed, just isn’t delivering what is becoming the most popular form of delivery.
Along with [...]

Batch Edit Your Images with GIMP [Windows only]
From MakeUseOf.com, 1 day ago,

For my MakeUseOf articles I’m constantly resizing images so that they will fit into our page template. As a result, I go through a lot of repetitive actions with GIMP, the free image editing program. After a quick Google search, I found a powerful tool to help me save a ton of time by batch [...]

Revive Old School FPS Gaming With Marathon (Multi-Platform)
From MakeUseOf.com, 1 day ago,

New games come out all the time, old games don’t. Seems logical doesn’t it?
Well, we tend to lose contact with the old days, the days of the games that brought the genre to what it is today. Days when they didn’t bury you under a ton of shooter games.
I’m not going to say that I [...]

3 Easy Ways To Add Borders To Your Photos
From MakeUseOf.com, 1 day ago,

There’s nothing quite like a nicely framed photograph. Ideally we’re talking about some classy wood and quality glass. If your image is heading to Grandma for her birthday, then that’s probably the best option.
But for many of us, photographs largely live online, ready to be admired and/or criticised by the masses. For some situations, a [...]

We have to admit that we’re mad about watching videos online. It’s because it’s simply so easy to do. Plus, there are so many sources where you can get your video-fix from: YouTube, Google Video, Metacafé, just to name a few. There are even a couple of other sites (which I can’t really mention) that [...]

4 Microblogging Firefox Tools You Shouldn’t Ignore
From MakeUseOf.com, 2 days ago,

It seems that the world and his dog now have a Twitter, Facebook, Jaiku or Plurk account. Some of us see these services as an extension of our mobile phone or our blog, some as a way to get into internet communications. Whatever you like to call it, microblogging has propelled itself into the internet [...]

I used to be addicted to sticky notes. There I said it…
The kids in the mail room were bringing me a few new packs daily. I stuck them everywhere. On monitors, servers, laptops even on interns. (Hey I have problems remembering names more than IP addresses!)
So when I came across this simple <1MB application that [...]

Send Free Email Newsletters With YMLP
From MakeUseOf.com, 2 days ago,

One of the best ways to interact and keep your website, blog, or customers coming back for more is through an email newsletter. If you have a loyal following they are happy to hear from you. But, too often you have to pay for an email newsletter service because sending out an email to thousands of people from your regular email account will brand you as a spammer.
