I use Pencil, too. It has some limited features and the UX could be better, but it is open source and works across Linux, OSX and Windows, so other people on the team can edit diagrams I have created.

I still use Picasa, because it is so fast and easy to just copy an SD card somewhere to my hard drive and have it show up at the top of Picasa seconds later. Then I browse the pictures, star the ones I like and process them. An no other sof

I tried a lot of the popular Backup solutions (like Acronis and others I don't remember now), but none of them really worked for me. I'm using HardlinkBackup for incremental, local USB backups (periodically creates a new folder wi

OK, I've been digging into this a bit further. When I do a request from a remote machine, I do get an Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header, but from my local machine, this header is missing. I assume that the proxy on this network dis

It is not working at all on either Firefox 30 or Chromium 34 (both Ubuntu). All I see is two large maps and a bit of text in between. The developer console has a few CORS errors, though: > XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://gra
