Filezilla, my favorite standalone FTP client, has been ported for Linux and OS-X. The OS-X version is available for both Intel and PPC installs. I have installed and tested it on a PPC based OS-X machine, and on OpenSuse 10.2. Binaries are also available for FreeBSD.

Long story short: I built a new PC a few weeks ago. Now it randomly freezes up, or drastically slows down, usually resulting in a hard shutdown. I have watched CPU cycles spike to almost 100% while nothing is running except a couple browser windows and WMP playing an MP3, sometimes with nothing but a single browser window open.

Adam Baratz, of Ars Technica has posted a review of DesktopX 3.1. http://arstechnica.com/reviews/apps/desktopx.ars While it's perhaps not the most flattering review, it does mention the great potential of DesktopX.

I recently upgraded to Photoshop CS from PS 7. Since then whenever I try to resize an image I get the message that the task could not be completed because the scratch disks are full. I have moved the scratch disk to another partition on my main drive (didn't help) then to a slave drive (also didn't help) both partitions have over 10 GB free, so what gives?

Did you, like me, spend way too much time playing Space Invaders when you were younger? Visit http://www2.b3ta.com/notepadinvaders/ for an odd twist on an old favorite. You know, in case you were getting tired of solitaire.

A while back Litestep.net had a message saying they were temporarily down, now all you get is a refused connection, not even a 404. Isearched around a little, and the same question has been asked in some other forums, but no one seems to know.
