Recolored is only free while in its beta stage, but it’s a very cool program. It allows you to easily colorize black and white photos by specifying areas of color. The program does the rest for you.
Hit-a-Hint, “KeyboardAccess For Firefox”, by Pekka Sillanpaa
It’s a sad day for me – I found out that someone (whose name is Pekka Sillanpaa) implemented something that I wanted to do myself. Pekka implemented what I would call “KeyboardAccess For Firefox”. The funny thing is that he thought of the idea himself the same way I did. He didn’t know about my own Internet Explorer plugin, KeyboardAccess For IE.
His Firefox extension is called Hit-a-Hint and I must admit that it works considerably better than my plugin for Internet Explorer. I wrote him an email and he kindly offered me to contribute to his project.
Happy Birthday To… ME
I am 29 years old today, and very happy about it.
Like I said, those of you who will wish me a happy birthday and mention this blog entry will get special thanks (which will be composed of the words “special” and “thanks”).
Tomorrow is my birthday, and don’t you forget it
This is a quick reminder to all 5 readers of this blog that tomorrow is my birthday. I will be 29. Those of you who will say that they read this notice on the blog will get a special thank you (which is pretty much the same).
