* Airset seems like a very very cool little program to share calendars to the world, in a multitude of formats. I’m trying to use it for a National Halo and Perfect Dark Zero calendar, but we’ll see how that goes.

* I just stumbled on this hint: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20051211070333671 - I have been using my Mac as a way to share an Internet connection and set up a make-do Access Point for my Nintendo WFC and for my other PC’s. I may use it tonight when I go to my grandparents’ so I can use my PSP and other goodies from the basement. Apparently there’s some questions still but maybe this will allow IP’s to automatically dole out instead of me having to do manual setting.

Here’s the cool stuff for today:

Property Records for Insurance? Use the internet. - This is an awesome idea and one I might work on soon. Of course, to index a full video game collection, that will take thousands of pictures. The advantage however would be easy sale when that day comes around to eBay the collection.

!note bookmarklet - A quick way to take text you’ve selected and save it to your Yahoo! Notepad, which I think will prove to be quite a handy device indeed.

MinimizeToTray This extension allows you to minimize FireFox to the system tray instead of a taskbar. If Desktop space is a big deal, this is a good place to start from.

Hard to Find 800 Numbers (Stephen could have used this at the store a bunch of times) - Doesn’t have a ton of numbers but the ones it has are awful nice.

Performancing (Blogging extension that gives you a split screen effect)

Feedping.com (I can use this to send my blog to lots of places)

Indeed Launches IM Interface (This may be what I don’t need, IM’s and job hunting together. Doesn’t that get you in trouble?)

Sorting your email with GMail (I saw this the other day, but it’s disposable e-mail, without the worrisome setup and time)

To-do List (Google now supports a to-do list … of course, I have to put adding that on ANOTHER to-do list)

8 Cool Firefox Plugins You Never Knew Existed (I missed this one, but this will make those rapidshare links much much easier!)

Google free proxy! (If you can’t access a page on your local Intranet, use this method to beat it. Google should be smart enough to know that translating from English to English is a bit dumb, mmmkay?)

So I have had a project for a while now to take sound from an emulator and output it to a file … I’ve been meaning to do it forever. Now, I might be able to do it with my Mac, no issues at all.

Here’s a couple of programs I need to try:

StreamRipper: http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/

This is the hint that led me to looking all of this stuff up: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20051219161639252

Next on my list is how to do this for free on a PC, so I can use both my laptops for this purpose.
