Cool web album creator software and its free. As of today, there is 6 way of web photo presentation or they called it “skin”.

1. Boxer 
2. Chameleon
3. Minimal
4. Simplicity
5. Spartan
6. Tiltviewer (My favourite)

Each skins comes with its own sets of styles or themes.  Last time I’ve used tiltviewer (from my previous post)  for my projects. Had lot of XML coding to do. This one is a lifesaver.  Try it yourself here.

1. Circle Dock
circledock.wikidot.com
Windows
Circle Dock brings up a spiraling launcher interface with all the icons you want to click. Rotate it with the wheel on your mouse and change the skin to suit your desktop.

2. ObjectDock
www.stardock.com
Windows
Replace the Windows Taskbar and Quick Launch toolbar with this Mac-like animated toolbar of icons for all your programs. It comes with a few “docklets” for displaying info like the time, weather, and a Web search form.

3. Launchy
www.launchy.net
Windows | Linux
“Keystroke launcher” is a fancy way of saying “command line,” but if you like to type rather than click for control—a practice that goes well beyond app launching—Launchy is your best choice.

4. Quicksilver
www.blacktree.com
Mac OS
Quicksilver does more from the keyboard than just launch programs. It can act on any item you can find or drag on your Mac. Quicksilver plug-ins add even more functions.

5. Audacity [HIGHLY RECOMMENDED]
audacity.sourceforge.net
Windows | Mac OS | Linux
On a par with any commercial audio editor, Audacity is the free sound editor of choice. The latest beta (1.3.6) even supports MPEG-4, Dolby Digital, and Windows Media.

SOME 250 investors from the three of the biggest cities in Europe are planning on investing RM5 billion in several sectors of the country in the near future. Minister of International Trade and Industry Datuk Mustapa Mohamed said investors from Frankfurt, Milan and London have indicated their wish to invest in Malaysia during a meeting with the Malaysian trade delegation led by him last week.

Following a briefing on the progress of Kulim Hitech Park (KHTP) in Kulim today, Mustapa said the investors from Frankfurt were looking at an investment of RM2.2 billion in the manufacturing and chemical sectors while investors from Milan planned to invest RM1.77 billion in the engineering sector. Investors from London meanwhile are planning to invest RM1.1 billion in the services sector.

Mustapa also disclosed that in June several trade missions were being lined up to attract investors from China, Korea and Japan, while a trade delegation will be also visiting Australia in August. He also hoped these trade delegations overseas will be able to bring in more investors to the country and achieve a higher investment amount than the RM62.8 billion registered last year.

On the Kulim Hitech Park meanwhile, he said its progress was commendable having become a premier industrial zone in the country and attracting 21 foreign investors as well as local investors. He said there were plans to get more investors particularly foreign investors to invest in the park as it offered the best facilities for various sectors.
