I always find it tedious to keep all my software updated. AppUpdate is a free widget that scans your harddisk for programes, and then checks the versions number against a list on Apple’s software directory, MacUpdate and Version Tracker. Once it is finished — and this goes surprizingly fast — you are presented with a simple list that shows all available updates, with links to the respective download pages. All for a very affordable 0 Euro/Dollar/Yuan.

Georg Kaindl, the programmes, also makes a little widget for the iPhone/iPod Touch that quickly checks the TV schedule of Austrian TV channel ORF, for whom I have worked a couple of times. Another iPhone App makes for quick getting-around in Vienna (which is a phantastic town, with more than enough historic places).

After my recent trouble with the WordPress update, quite a few of the former features of my theme no longer worked. I could have spent some time (which I don’t have) to fix those problems, or I could spend some time (which I equally don’t have) to set up a new layout. Obviously I went for the latter one. Not quite finished yet, but more of a work-in-progress.

Thanks & Kudos go to The Upstart Blogger for the great theme.
