XML Notepad 2006

by Ryan Carter Sep 3rd 2006

Everybody likes quick and dirty apps, especially me. Anything quick and dirty that is also free is my holy grail. Microsoft is offering the XML Notepad 2006 for download, which is quick, dirty, and free. It is exactly what it sounds like. It is a simple XML editor for editing XML documents. Sometimes less is more, and this app proves it. XML Notepad does a nice job of helping you organize XML nodes and easily modify XML documents. Like I said, quick and dirty is the focus here, and it isn't (by any means) full featured, but it does it's job well and makes quick work of editing XML, should you ever need to. I 'm sure that most of the time, XML documents are managed by more complex processes and programs, because that is the point after all. This app is nice to have in case you run into a small-scale edit that needs to be done. You don't need to launch your behemoth programming IDE to do it.

This one shows the nodes expanded. That is about all there is to XML Notepad 2006, but it works well.

Now that is a nice little tool, thanks for linking to it.

I know most people want the all in one solution, but seriously - as long as those programms are fast, easy to use and good, I see no reason not to have a lot of tools for the correct usage on different purposes!

I am still using windows ports of sed / grep / awk and alike because they fullfil one purpose - but this in a great way.

thanks!

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
