Ok just a quick post.

Have you ever looked at a website and thought ‘I wonder who made that’ or something along those lines? Well, finding out that information is relatively easy if you know how to do it. So I created a service called ‘WhoIsRichard’ to help people find out information about domains easily. WhoIsRichard will tell you who registered a domain, their address, contact information and some other things. It’s a free service, provided by me, but please respect the fact that it is free and don’t mess around with it as it is resource heavy.

You can find WhoIsRichard here, and I recently made a windows sidebar gadget so you can lookup domains from your desktop. You can get that here.

Have you ever wanted to record your desktop, to create a video, tutorial etc.? Perhaps you don’t want to download dodgy looking software at high prices? Well, here is a way to do that without buying any software. www.screentoaster.com. And here is a random video I made using it:

I am doing random things to demonstrate the quality of audio, video and webcam stuff. Whilst the picture quality is not brilliant, I think that this is an excellent online tool. Very highly recommended.
