After the release of the new Google Maps API, I’ve rewritten the Blogmaps tool (currently still Beta) to take advantage of the new interface. Check it out, then let us know what you think!

If you have Google Earth, you can browse blogs in that

The OpenCD project aims to introduce users of MS-Windows to the benefits of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). We include only the highest quality programs, which have been carefully tested for stability and which we consider appropriate for a broad audience. We provide a description and screen-shots of each program, so you can get an idea of what it does before installing. All these applications install and un-install cleanly, so you can be comfortable testing them with the knowledge that they will not adversely affect your system. The programs on the disc are all distributed under an Open Source License (OSI approved), which allows you to freely use and distribute them. You may even change the programs using the source code, which we make available, and distribute your own modified versions, provided you then in turn make the source code available, and give appropriate credit to past contributors.

RT says..: Im all for this idea, people need to realise they have choices and should not be afraid to explore the possibility of having a home computer that does not have to run Microsoft Windows but offers the same or better functionality.

I actually use it at work sometimes, would be nice to have some VNC software included but seems to work great, I have a static IP so I had to let it do all its attempting to configure DHCP etc. Also would be nice if it checked early during startup for a configuration directory on for example a USB storage stick so you would be able to be completely portable to any machine on a network.

Still, a very promising offering, if it supported a USB disk for configuration files etc you could even have diskless workstations !
