Trugger!
A couple of tech friends, who I know from the CodeProject-List, have teamed up to work on our tech blog Trugger.com. The site is still being worked on but you can expect great things in the future.
The theme will probably change when everyone decides on something.
You might want to add this site to your aggregator!

One Llama: A new music discovery service!
Lately I've been trying every one of these services, but this one really sticks out.
You type in your favourite artist, which isn't really different from the rest, and then click Discovery at the top to get here:
Each song branches off into another group of songs. Sadly, you can only preview the songs. Maybe they will take it a step further and stream full songs in the future? I hope.
Apparently they use some sort of analysis system (non-human) to determine if songs are similar.
I've already found four new albums I want to buy, even though their music database seems to be quite limited.
Another thing which makes this service stick out from the crowd is their iTunes plugin. Now you can discover music from inside iTunes! Ok, wait a minute, i just checked out the plugin and it's not really a normal plugin. It's actually a program (that has no shortcut installed?!) that makes playlists from the song that's selected in iTunes. Not really that useful (Yet?). Oh, it also doesn't work with my iTunes version.
Something that is odd is the fact that I haven't received a verification email yet and can't seem to login. It's been about five minutes now.
Enjoy!
InviteShare – Share those Private Beta Invites!
Via LifeHacker
InviteShare is basically an invite sharing place for invites to private beta web services. I was actually thinking of putting something like this together recently, because it's definitely a niche according to the recent swarm of "Beta Marketing" going on. Going to head on over there now and find some cool stuff.
Welcome to the new location!
Yeah, welcome to the new location of my little blog. Now let's see if everything's all in working order!
Please make sure to update your links and RSS feeds.
Thanks.
Yod M 3D has been acquired!
Otaku Software has acquired my latest favourite piece of software, Yod M' 3d! They are planning on calling the new software DeskSpace.
For those of you that haven't heard of it yet, it's very similar to XGL's (Linux) Virtual Cube thingy. It's basically a 3d cube with a desktop on four sides. You can use the mouse to switch between desktops. I've set it up to pop up when the mouse touches the bottom right corner of the screen, which can be extremely useful when you have one million windows open, as programmers generally do.
I'm going to be very unhappy if they decide to make it shareware, though.
Buzzword Preview
A document editing service to compete against them all, Buzzword is in Beta and looks beautiful! I would seriously contemplate using this instead of Word! I'm not even joking.
The menu bar is so intuitive, and "just works". When you click one of the icons a menu bar slides out like the Word Ribbon.
Documents can be "Shared" with other users. So, for example, you could set a Reviewer to add comments on designs etc. This feature seems to work in real time.
Here's a screen of a document being edited.
Nice. I just hope it's going to be completely free!
RadioBlogClub
Quite a sweet service. You can stream nearly anything, and you can also embed tracks on your site/blag.
New WickedOrange Site
The WickedOrange site is being redesigned. Check it out at the sandbox if you're interested.
The site is being done entirely with asp.net, so I might add a few nice features.
