Capture screens on the Blackberry Bold

Just downloaded CaptureIt 1.4 from www.thetechmogul.com OTA (Over The Air or wirelessly straight to the phone). Installed and removed it 4 times before I figured out from this post -Capture it 1.2 install details at crackberry.com that the key to this working is you have to allow ALL permissions . If you don't, you just get an image that is just a white screen. Otherwise, you get a screen shot of whatever was on the screen at the time. Here's mine of downloaded apps on the Blackberry Bold.

One desktop not enough, how about 20?

Following the beautify-your-desktop theme, if you suffer from a cluttered desktop, let's face it who doesn't, and you haven't quite got around to either

a. Replacing windows with an alternative like Emerge Desktop
b. Adding widgets like Yahoo Widgets

this may be what the doctor ordered for all icon junkies.

How about trying out the following prescription, Dexpot 1.4?

Yahoo widgets to beautify your desktop

Need a sight for sore eyes or do you just want to remove the eyesore that is Windows?

I wrote previously about Emerge Desktop as a replacement to the default Windows desktop. I have come across another tool to beautify your desktop, The Yahoo! Widget Engine.

To quote Yahoo:
"The Yahoo! Widget Engine (formerly known as Konfabulator) is a JavaScript runtime engine for Windows and Mac OS X that lets you run little files called Widgets that can do pretty much whatever you want them to. Creating them is very easy too."

The Widgets are self-contained packages that provide cool looking functionality for your desktop. I had used Konfabulator previously and just tried the Yahoo! Widget Engine 3.1.4 on Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4.

Fisheye exposes source code repository gems

Need to find out what's rolling around in your source code repository? I am assuming that you wouldn't be reading this if you don't know what a source code repository is or maybe you are just interested. But it is still only source code, lines and lines of it. You have to know what code has been submitted and where it has been stored to find it.
