I listen to both podcasts! I think I have mentioned this one before, but I use WinDirStat, it is open source, and I think it does a better job than SpaceMonger, it is faster. However, I also think that the free (non shareware/trial crippled) version, is very hard to find (I love how they hide it away, behind a tab and the bottom of a page!)! Hang on, the download isn't even working, it is giving me an error! Well that sucks.... Hey Steve! I listen to both podcasts!

Like iso or something? Or does it have it's own format and can only be restore using this? If it is a closed format, I will not be using this, as I always need a known good backup, and if the app was removed from the site, then my installation of it messed up, what do I do now? I can't restore the backup without the program! Does it make the images in an open format? Like iso or something? Or does it have it’s own format and can only be restore using this?

Opps my bad! When we use it at work we only really do one full client backup and then restore a client from that image as need be. Thanks for pointing that out, i'll edit the post on the site now.

This is not actually true. It has a 30 day trial, after which the backup function stops working, although you can still use it to restore any backup or image you have made during the trial.

I don't think you mentioned that you mentioned that it is open source, but it is so, that is a plus! Windows users might want to look at <a href="http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/SDelete.html" rel="nofollow"></a>, it is a command line program, but you can use <a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/hard-drives/the-windows-file-shredder-211357.php" rel="nofollow">this tip from Lifehacker</a> which might be useful to you!

I had tried this on my old computer, but it ran extremely slowly, thanks for reminding me about it, I am going to try it right now! You could also make a clan server game on this, and have a massive battle, I really think that is a good idea, but let me get a bit of practice in please! God, that was a quick install! I love it when apps do that! This is really cool, thanks guys, I love FPS and hate sports games also!

This can easily be done, built it with Windows! In Explorer, go to Tools > Folder Options > File Types and choose there! You can even use the command line with the "ftype" and "assoc" commands! Yes, VLC can open nearly even format, including .wmv files. Yeah, I bet you install a load of apps, just for this podcast! Another win for Windows! This can easily be done, built it with Windows!

Cool web app, I think it could last, though there aren't enough videos, or maybe not enough of a time span. I think it might go under, but then come back when there is enought data to warrant it.

Yeah, they get to know what you are doing with your PC, 24-7? I wonder what there business model will be, advertising perhaps... :)! Also, it is kinda interesting as a social experiment, but if you have all the apps you use posting as a twitter feed, it sort of clouds out the useful, interesting posts. I don't really want to know if someone is using Firefox more than they use Internet Explorer! Finally, I wonder whether it polls itself as an app, and then someone is really surprised that the most used app is itself...
