Yay! My Belize Real Estate web site is now listed on DMOZ.org - and in only about 2 weeks. That HAS to be some kind of record. Last time it took me about 2 months to get a site listed on DMOZ.
It’s here:
Open Directory - Regional: Central America: Belize: Business and Economy: Real Estate
Whenever we (theoretically, of course) find an unencrypted WiFi network around one of our projects, Greg has taken to calling it FreeFi. And, he sent me this interesting link about someone getting busted for using it, although, it sounds like it’s in the other extreme, above leeching onto a neighbor’s.
Lately I’ve been listening to Pandora quite a bit, and I really like it. One thing that bugged me, was that I had to have a separate window open for it, where things like Musicmatch, Winamp, iTunes, etc would minimize to the system tray so it’s just an icon not taking up any toolbar space.
Today, I found something (free!) that solves that issue. It’s simple and unglorified, which is the best thing about it. Download it from here: Metcasoft
There are 2 versions. Classic and 1.5. Either works just as well. One little gotcha though - how does one actually minimize it? Well, you have to righ click the icon in the tray and then select either “hide” or “show” player. It took me a bit to figure that out, because many “hide-to-tray” programs automatically do so when you minimize or click to close.
Thanks, Brian @ Metcasoft for making this!
