I’ve sold the S2 Pro. To this guy, so it has a good new home now. Filip is a nice guy, looking for a job in DTP, so if you run an advertising-agency and are in need of an DTP-er, he’s your man.

Adobe released version 3 of Photoshop Album Starter Edition, their free version of PSA. PSA integrates with Photoshop Elements, like Adobe Bridge integrates with Photoshop, albeit with less features. At the moment only an English version is available. This version will upgrade albums from earlier version, but if you have bought your earlier version, please note that features available in a licensed version are not always there in the free version. So, make a back-up first!

Yeah! We bought the camera yesterday. It’s a dream: it’s small, it’s light, it’s easy to use, it’s fast, and it makes excellent pictures.

Yesterday I switched from ZoneAlarm to Kerio as my personall firewall. Although I’m not sure if my findings will apply to someone without any knowledge of how tcp-filtering works, but I like KPF more than ZA. It seems to detect more, it starts BEFORE Windows starts (ZA starts after you login), and it does not seem to slow down my system as much. Furthermore, it works with Azureus, the Bittorrent-client (with embedded tracker) I use. No more ZoneAlarm for me.
