Zattoo is a program that enables you to watch live television on your computer. Some of the channels currently available are ARD, arte, BBC Prime, BBC World, Bloomberg TV, Canale 5, CNN, EuroNews and EuroSport, to name but a few. (Also many non-English speaking channels).

The bad news is that, currently, Zattoo will only work in Switzerland, the good news is they say they plan to go worldwide with it “soon”.

This looks like it could be a good service, as they say that it’s better than the usual internet video quality. They say it’s equal to TV quality. It remains to be seen if they can keep their promise, as my country isn’t currently served. But i was able to add my email to their mailing list so i can be notified when (if!) it is.

But it seems like one to watch, no pun intended! Check it out here.

If you have a problem remembering your schedule and you find yourself late for certain meetings and events just because you forgot or you had it written somewhere but couldn’t find it on time, then this application could be of great help. I’m talking about Stickies.

Stickies is a PC utility to cut down on the number of Post-It notes. It stores all information in a single text-based file. They are yellow rectangular windows onto which you can put some text notes. One of the things I love about it is that once Stickies is used to create notes, the notes will stay on screen until you take them away. Just like a real sticky piece of paper.

Latest Changes in the latest version, Stickies 6.0b, includes:

• “Unlock/lock” action available on skins
• Can now snap to other stickies when shift-bulk-moving
• Left-click to place the cursor at a specific location, and then press and click at a different location to select the text in-between
• Setting an alarm into the past removes it
• Single-item right-click menu pops up on snoozing for clarity
• Save As style guesses at a font style and colour now rather than copying the default style font
• Message-ID now written into the headers for SMTP mails
• Bug meaning locked stickies can be change after being unrolled fixed
• Recurring stickies now have the correct create date, not a copy of the original
• “Don’t duplicate” was only intermittantly working depending on on-top status at sleep time
• Pressing alt-enter with the Friends top item selected no longer causes a crash
• Close button mouseover now drawn correctly
• Unrolling a sticky using a skin which doesn’t support rolling would cause it to disappear until Stickies was restarted
• “stickies.exe -” now obeys the default settings for a new sticky
• Creating any new sticky no longer forces on the desktop “set drop shadow” setting

This is a useful little freeware program for converting between just about any units of measurement. The user interface is very simple to use and understand. You simply select the types of units of measurement you need to convert between and it instantly converts for you. For example, centimetres to inches or pounds to kilograms. It supports many types of units of conversion, such as speed, weight, temperature, time, volume and much more.
