Geek Software of the Week: Freemake Video Converter!

Leave a comment

Free Video ConverterI know, I know, I do a lot of GSotW releases that are video converters. But, there really is a big demand for this kind of tool! Freemake is free, very important… and it is easy to use, and has a lot of features other converters don’t have!

Freemake Video Converter

Here’s what their web site says:
“Convert video free to AVI, MP4, WMV, MKV, 3GP, DVD, MP3, iPad, iPhone, PSP, Android phones. Video to MP3 with one click! Rip & burn DVD. Convert YouTube to MP4, AVI, etc. with Freemake! Guaranteed result.”

(I suspect English isn’t their first language! But, it is great software!)

Roll Your Own Amazon S3!

Leave a comment

Cross-posted from VirtZine – A company called Skylabel has released an open-source version of the Amazon S3 service which can be installed in a data center and be used just like Amazon S3 with the same tools such as Dragondisk, etc. Both source code and binary packages are available for download.

They have a quick start guide which will get you started very quickly, they claim you can be up in minutes!

Microsoft Issues an Emergency Patch for IE!

Leave a comment

Microsoft announced yesterday an update to Internet Explorer thT patches the security issue that the government has been warning about. And, in an unusual move Microsoft is allowing this patch be deployed to Windows XP, which as of April 8TH is no longer supported. However, they wisely decided that this was not only a good move on their part from a security point of view but from a publicity point of view.

Even more unusual this was an out of band patch not issued on a Patch Tuesday. That’s how serious this is!

However, I am hearing all kinds of good reports from people personally as well as in print, that they are moving off of Windows XP, and on to some distribution of Linux! How I love the smell of Linux in the morning!
