Open-Audit Released

It looks like Open-Audit has finally been released to the public. I may be a few months slow here, but the website is now up and running.

The file release on Sourceforge is a old though, from December 2006. I’ve been using the latest build from Subversion since I started using Open-Audit, and I’ve never experienced any problems.

 To download the latest version from SVN using Linux, do the following:


svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/open-audit/trunk open-audit

tar -czvf openaudit.tar.gz open-audit/

I normally use Filezilla to download the tarball from the linux box to my Windows machine.

Just make sure you make a backup of your ‘audit.config’ file (contained in the ’scripts’ subfolder) before you overwrite any files.

Launchy

I discovered an awesome little open-source tool the other month. It’s called ‘Launchy’, and it indexes your Start Menu. You can then bring up Launchy at the press of some hot keys, and start typing the name of the program you want to run.

It also supports plugins. It can index your Internet Favourites (including Firefox), and there is also a handy little calculator plugin that you can use.

I’m going to install it on all my PCs from now on. Very handy.
