Winsplit Revolution – A window placement program
by nemof on Aug.08, 2009, under News
Just came across the extremely useful Winsplit Revolution, a small system tray based program that promised to allow people to arrange their windows any which way they want.

It works exceptionally well, allowing me to arrange programs in a similar manner as above, in literally no more than a few seconds. It works well with dual monitors, letting you push windows in-between monitors and arranging them in a few key taps.
The best bit? It’s available under the Creative Commons license.
**Edit**
After further use this program just gets better and better. It’s useful even if you don’t happen to have massive monitors.
The only thing I would say against the app is that anything with Revolution in its name loses brownie points, and the program configurations are not very well laid out, being separated in a cascading menu as shown below.


It would be simpler and more useful if all the configuration options were in one configuration panel with tabs or similar.

Digg Top Ten Normalizer, an excellent Digg Greasemonkey script

Here is a great greasemonkey script called Digg Top Ten Normalizer. It rewrites the digg sidebar to link the stories directly to their respective websites, rather than the comments section – that however is still available below each link.
If you don’t have greasemonkey already get it now, it will change how you surf. The Firefox addon describes itself thus:
Allows you to customize the way a webpage displays using small bits of JavaScript.
Along with Userscripts, a repository of GM scripts, it gives any Firefox user the tools they need to make their favourite website that bit more functional.
