An interesting overview on various disk size Disk Usage Analysis Softwares. Worth a visit.

Some tip for mac-os users:

Confessions of an Undercover Geek » Where did all my hard drive space go?:

"Where did all my hard drive space go?

Lately it seems like my hard drive space had been getting less and less.

On Friday, I was watching the latest episode of DL.tv. They talked about different tools you could use to visualize where the space was being taken up on your hard drive. The mac tool they talked about was Disk Inventory X. It is awesome.

It shows a rectangle and splits the rectangle up with different colors and boxes to show the different files that are taking up space on your hard drive. The tool makes it easy to go and clean out old files that are taking up space. I was able to successfully clean out a bunch of space on my hard drive.

This tool just works for Mac OS X. If you are a Windows users, there is SequoiaView and TreePie."

comment on treepie:

I went looking for software to search for large files and found that most of the “good stuff” is commercial. However, a fella in Italy has written a clever open source program called Treepie. At first glance you will look at the output and think “What the hell does THAT mean?” but once you start running your mouse over the output you will see how he’s organized things and it makes a lot of sense.

It’s not the fastest or the slickest program in the world, but it’s free and it gets the job done. It helped me find a folder off my root directory where I had forgotten to delete a number of ummm *cough* DVD images *cough*. Data, of course.

visualcomplexity.com | Musicovery: "Musicovery, by Frederic Vavrille, is an interactive webRadio, or if you want, an hybrid of two of the most compelling music services on the Internet, MusicPlasma and Pandora. Frederic Vavrille, creator of the discovery engine MusicPlasma, has just materialized my wish. Being an enthusiast of both services, I had acknowledged that Pandora was missing a visual component in order to map all the relationships and influences between the artists, while on the other hand, MusicPlasma was lacking a key feature of a music engine, sound."

FROM MONKEY BASNew AJAX search engine called SNAP. It's look cool and has some interesting function : http://www.snap.com/

The old blog layout has been lost in a "save template" failed. Very strange. For now I'm using this terrible layout and I hope to change it with a better one soon.

ALSO: I have just discovered the new Google tool to create web page: http://pages.google.com/

I have created a darft page just to test it in 30 seconds: http://treepie.googlepages.com/home

I love FILEMON! It's so usefull and easy to use, try it !

(and also the others freeware utilities from SysInternals).

I'm working on some new idea on how to make a smarter local homepage.

Instead of using as homepage google.com or yahoo.com why don't using a configurable local page with some IFRAME inside pointing to google and yahoo but also showing my link.

Persistence is obiousvly the problem, but it can be fixed by using a site as a configurator and at the asking the user to download the modified page.
