ViewCVS: Repository Browsing

ViewCVS is a browser interface for CVS and Subversion version control repositories. It generates templatized HTML to present navigable directory, revision, and change log listings. It can display specific versions of files as well as diffs between those versions. Basically, ViewCVS provides the bulk of the report-like functionality you expect out of your version control tool, but much more prettily than the average textual command-line program output.

Google Search Now Indexes PDF files

I am still amazed at what this tiny software program can do! Google has addressed one of my biggest complaints with the initial version of Desktop Search which was indexing PDF files. Now in addition to indexing PDF files, they have a built in plugin extension mechanism for other file formats. One file format I would love to see added is the help .chm file format. Imagine being able to search all of the help files on a machine from a common interface.

Google Preview Extension

Another must have for Firefox. The extension inserts preview images (thumbnails) of the web page result.
Note that I had to delete my google cookie before this worked correctly.

Avant Broswer
For those of us stuck using Internet Explorer for some things, I suggest using the "Avant Browser". It is the Internet Explorer window embedded in something that actually can do Tab Browsing. I've been fairly happy with it. Still prefer Firefox and that set of commands.
