Hoshi Saga

...is a flash-puzzle where you need to find stars (literally translates to "search a star" in Japanese).

It has a very unique interaction style to it, with simple yet effective graphics.

Warning, this was really addictive.

Flashback: “Doskey”

Does anyone remember the days when you would have to edit your autoexec.bat file and turn off the 'doskey' command from loading on startup because it took too much memory?

Just thought of it as I was looking through this site of an A-Z of the Windows NT/XP command line:

Unlocker

This remains one of my favourite programs around.

If you've ever gotten these errors:

  • Cannot delete file: Access is denied
  • There has been a sharing violation.
  • The source or destination file may be in use.
  • The file is in use by another program or user.
  • Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.

Features:

  • Closes handles
  • Kills locking processes
  • Unloads DLL's
  • Deletes index.dat
  • Performs delete, rename or move
  • No reboot necessary
  • Context menu
  • Command line or GUI
  • Free

Unlocker will sort you out.

CSS: Centering with Position:absolute

If you're working with absolute positions in CSS, then you'll love this:

Simple in theory:

  • Set position to absolute;
  • set left:50%;
  • and then set margin-left:-##px; (where ## is half the width of the object)

Plus, you could always customize and spiff it up a little.
