Helpful software
October 25, 2009Again, not coding stuff (I’ve been sick so I’ve been sleeping a little more than normal, I think..), but a couple different somewhat related programs I’ve found helpful.
Virtual Box: my Linux install on my USB keeps having errors for one reason or another (literally, I’ve reinstalled it 5-6 times), and it has stopped working from the CD as well. So this allows you to install other operating systems on a virtual computer.
VirtuaWin: one of the things I did like about Linux was the multiple desktops – this allows you to have that on Windows. So if you’re coding one project, you can have all the windows associated with that open on one desktop, have games and stuff open on another, some other project open on another, etc… I have it set up with 4 desktops (most of the time I don’t need more than 2 or 3), but you can have a whole bunch.
