ZuneLatest.NET goes live (ish)

The fantastic new ZuneHD has great new UI elements which includes the ability to quickly locate recently added music on your device. If you are one of the lucky ones to be using the ZuneHD, check out the great built in features of the device. For everyone else ZuneLatest.NET is still available for download in a slightly new location.

ZuneLatest.NET, the automated playlist creation utility for Zune (and Zune Pass) lovers everywhere. Version 0.4.0 is currently available for download in zip format. Installer and so on will be made available in later versions.

Now you can finally browse though recently added music directly on your device, no more trying to remember what the song / album / artist was which you found on the marketplace the previous night! Mixview without the mixup... no that's just cheesy. Head over to the ZuneLatest.NET home page and see what all the excitment is about.

PhotoRecover.NET goes live!

In record time PhotoRecover.NET 0.2.0 is ready for download (specially considering how long it took me to get GalleryRemote.NET out of the door. This is the best Windows XP/Vista/7 application for recovering lost digital photos from my memory cards and USB memory sticks.

For those keen to get their photos back there is more good news, the application is completely free. No it's not free to download but then costs $50 to actually unlock the ability to save the recovered photos. It's free, or like the info-mercials like to s absolutely free.

Take a look at the PhotoRecover.NET home page, and don't forget to tell your family and friends. Lets hope you never need it, but best grab it in case you do!

GalleryRemote.NET 2.0 Released!

The new release of GR.NET is 2.0 and this reflects the support it has for Menalto Gallery 2.x installs.

This release will be the last major release for Gallery 2.x installation as I move my focus to supporting the new Gallery 3.x architecture. You can still expect bug fixes and minor tweaks but like most I plan to move to Gallery 3 as soon as it is fully proven.

In this release of GalleryRemote.NET I have made it even easier to add keyword support to your site, as well as enabling updates to existing site content using the Gallery Remote API specifically extended by the application. No programming required! The application will automatically generate a new PHP include file for you, all you have to do is upload it!

Go check out the new release now!
