I just uploaded XdN Tweaker 0.6.2.
There are some minor changes from 0.6.0, including a new option to add/remove the ATI Catalyst Control Center item from the Windows Desktop right-click menu.
You can view the Change Log on the XdN Tweaker page.
i'm making an official announcement regarding the release of a little program i've been working on.
XdN Tweaker is the current name of the program. i started creating it as just a way of messing around with Visual Basic. right now, it works with the registry and makes a few tweaks and/or changes to a system running Windows XP (with the .NET Framework 2.0 installed).
you can download it here:
xdn_tweaker
here are some screen shots of the program (click the thumbnails to get larger images):
you can find different builds of the program in my VB section: programming/vb, and read the change log here: xdntweaker
i started working on the program back in 2003 with Visual Basic 6. later, i started over with Visual Basic .NET 2003. just recently, with the release of VB 2005, i ported the program over to that and have continued working on it.
its not meant to compete with other tweaking programs, as it obviously has far less options. i just wrote it to see if i could.

the uTorrent client was recently updated (or "µTorrent", as it's really called).
uTorrent is like many other BitTorrent clients, except for a few notable things. while trying to copy the features and look of Azureus (the most popular BitTorrent client) its is able to use significantly less resources.
while Azureus requires that the Java runtime environment and itself both be installed, uTorrent is a native Windows application, and doesn't require anything else installed. as of version 1.2, uTorrent is just 105K total in size. typical ram usage is around 6 megs or less. Azureus would sometimes take up 64-80 megs of ram, even when on no torrents!
you can get uTorrent here: http://www.utorrent.com/

Microsoft has just released Visual Studio 2005 Express for free (free to download for the next year).
Visual Studio includes applications such as Visual Basic and Visual C# (C "Sharp"), which are used to create Windows applications.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/
A Microsoft program manager put things a bit more clear than what the VS Express site states:
"Until November 7, 2006, we are promotionally discounting the downloadable versions of Express to free. This doesn't mean that the product turns off after a year, but rather that as long as you download the product before November 7, 2006, you can get it for free and you can use it forever."
