Continuing the interesting find series, here are the next set of finds.
- Grasshopper 2.0
- is a free VS.NET plugin that allows you to code in .NET 2.0, build for Java and run on Linux, without rewriting any code! Sweet!
- IKVM.NET
- is a implementation of Java for both Mono
and .NET
and includes a Java VM, .NET implementation of the Java class libraries and some other tools which enable interoperability between both .NET and Java. This is more of less compliant with JDK 1.4, though there are some gaps and AWT and Swing are not implemented yet.
- EasyVMX.com
- lets you create virtual machine of the free and awesome VMware Player
. I know many others share the same opinion that VMware Workstation
is many generations ahead than Microsoft’s VPC. If you are too cheap to pony up the $189 license fee then EasyVMX might just be what the doctored ordered.
- Solid freeform Fabrication
- DIY, on the cheap, and made of pure sugar! This is a project to construct a home-built three dimensional fabricator which allows for a low cost design leveraging recycled components, large printable volume emphasized over high resolution, and ability to use low-cost printing media including granulated sugar.
- SavaSocket
- Allows you to power off standby appliances and as a result save money, energy and the environment! It is like any other power socket, with the exception it has a infrared receiver and can learn a specific button from any infra red remote control allowing the user to control power to the socket and as a result all devices plugged into that.
- Windows Splash Screens - a trip down memory lane showing all of Windows splash screens thus far from Windows 1.01 released back in 1985.
