Treehouse Burning

Some very good mates of mine from home play in a fantastic rock band called Treehouse Burning. Tonight, one of their songs is being played on the Huw Stephens show on Radio 1 – that is absolutely amazing!

Glory Lasts Forever Demo

You can see the listing and download the song on the Unsigned show page.

Congratulations to the guys!

Fraps

Scott also points to Fraps, a very handy utility allowing you to screen capture DirectX renders – I’ve been looking for a tool like this for ages!

Expose for Windows

Scott Hanselman points at TopDesk, an Expose clone for Windows. Expose is a great feature in OS X that allows you to replace Alt-Tab with a feature showing you resized versions of your open applications all on one screen.

TopDesk

TopDesk uses DirectX to display the resized windows and seems to work a treat – it’s the best bit of geek software I’ve tried in ages. I’m going to try it for a couple of days more to make sure it’s stable and then buy it – at $9.95 it’s a bargain!
