Ping is one of the most basic and useful network commands. It sends request to networked computer and waits for response. It’s easy to ping single PC but it’s pain to ping dozens (or even hundreds) of them.
Network scanners are the same ping command deep inside. On the outside the are equipped with graphical interface made for targeting and displaying responses of multiply computers in one sweep.

Codec - something you never knew you needed until your videos started to play upside down and with green stripes.
Current situation with video codecs (mpeg4, DivX, XviD, h264, Theora) and containers (avi, mp4, mkv, ogm, wmv) is a mess. Solutions to this problem are abundant and stir holy wars second in fierceness only to “Vista sucks” issue. :)
As always I am sticking to tried and true solution. I am using K-Lite Codec Pack for a long time and I never had issues with it (some minor but those were solved by updating to newest version).

My previous post on coping with information overload was probably too much theory and no actual tools (even no fancy pictures). So I decided to do small follow-up about online service that may help you deal with giant RSS feeds.
AideRSS takes any RSS feed, does some calculations and assigns so-called PostRank for each post. Sounds simple but there are lots of issues here.

How much information do you get from Internet daily? And more importantly - do you want more of it… Or maybe less?
Less or more either - Internet users struggle for control over that incoming stream of stuff. No one wants to look at clock and realize he had wasted hour absolutely aimlessly. It’s good to look at clock and think how much you had done in that hour.
This post isn’t about magical software or online service to instantly make you information guru (I wish there was one). It’s about my coping with information stream and invitation to share your methods on same.
