ipcopy
A quick post about this software that allows you to transfer files over a LAN using TCP/IP. Its useful when you want to quickly transfer over a network even if you have access to only good old DOS command prompt. Check it out here.

Pocket PC freeware and other such goodies
Here's some more freeware goodies I discovered for the Pocket PC after wasting several weekends searching.
Agile Messenger - neat piece of free software that allows you to connect to MSN, Yahoo, AOL, and some others I don't remember using the Pocket PC. It also has a nifty Today screen component that tells you how many of your buddies are online and also if you have any email on any of these services.
nPOP - this freeware allows you to check your POP3 email and also send outgoing email using SMTP. Pretty fast and optimized for Pocket PC (I can single tap to select hordes of spam that I receive and then mark them for deletion). It also has an icon next to the taskbar (or whatever they call the place where it shows the wifi and bluetooth status) that allows you to quickly check for new email etc.
sshCE - this is not freeware but I couldn't get PocketPutty to work on my Axim so I had to settle for this. sshCE allows you to connect to remote servers using the SSH protocol. Its useful for mostly for network administrators (or if you would like to show off geeky software on your Pocket PC).
Other than this I'm also exploring Mercora. A sort of a public webcasting network that legally allows you to listen and time-shift music that is not from up and coming artists. They have a small fee monthly if you want unlimited access but the free membership allows you to listen for up to 1 hour a day, so thats probably about 10 songs a day for free.

Some random thoughts
I'm waiting for one of the servers I admin to go back online. And while I wait I had some thoughts.
First, in about two months time I will be completing one year of blogging. I never thought that I could keep this up for so long, even though I've probably not blogged for a few months at a stretch some times.
Second, today after about a gap of about 10 or 12 years I met a some of my old school mates. It was great fun comparing stories (we had lost touch after we got out of school). And sometimes you wonder... oh well, I am not able to get the 'blog flow'. Will write about this later. After all its 12am in the night and I can't be expected to be productive. :-)

More Firefox stuff
I'm still in the 'tweak' Firefox mode. So here are some Firefox extensions that I started using recently - SessionSaver, WebmailCompose and Tabbrowser Preferences.
