FreeMind – Open source mind mapping app!

Howdy all,

Was searching for a multi-platform mind mapping application and found FreeMind. Check it out, it’s free, multiplatform and quite easy to use :)

A friend pointed out it is a Java application, and everybody who knows me know how much i looove Java! However running it on my Macbook is pretty darn smooth and this app has everything i really need from a mind mapping application.

I’ll try to map some of my projects this week and see if it helps me out, i have already mapped some projects in the past but most of that was just from brainstorming about a specific project, not to create a work schedule out of it.

Well, off to do something!

F12, Firefox 3.6…..the open source community is rocking!

Howdy all,

I upgraded my home workstation from Fedora 11 to Rawhide last week, and with the updates this morning i got the F12 release package. The release rocks! KVM is awesome! Had to do some testing with Windows servers and loaded up two on the F12 box and they seem to run pretty fast. Everything has been stable so far, and it looks awesome :) .

Also i have installed the Firefox 3.6 betas on my work laptop and my Macbook at home. It runs pretty fast, has some cool theme options (for those who like that) and Windows 7 integration features along with the option of installing addons without restarting the browser! See the full feature list here.

Red Hat has released it’s new virtualization platform, RHEV, and I’ve asked them for a evaluation version since it has all the features i expect from a hypervisor, and it costs half of what VMWare vSphere costs. Hopefully our evaluation goes as planned.

Well, I’m off to drink more coffee and work on a small project.
Laters!
