So long Acrobat Reader

Thanks to Scott
Hanselman
, I have put Adobe Acrobat reader out of its misery. Good riddens! I
won’t miss your long boot times, amazingly bad updating story, and endless prompts
to download other random Adobe software I don’t want. Plus I won’t have
an aggravating experience viewing PDFs in IE.

Foxit is great.

New SlickRun Beta Release

Eric Lawrence has updated my favorite
windows application
with some great little tweaks. If you aren’t using SlickRun you
are missing out. Slickrun is like the “address
bar” you can enable in the task menu but far more powerfull. I use it dozens
of times a day.

+ Autocomplete of filenames as parameters to MagicWords

+ Hit CTRL+F or CTRL+I to insert filename(s) in command line

+ ESC (or ESC,ESC) activates last active window instead of no window

+ Added SmartPaste (trims pasted text, removes crlf,etc)

+ Prompt before “Undo changes” in Jot

+ _STARTUP MagicWord executes on startup
+ _DISPLAYCHANGE MagicWord executes on display resolution change
+ New NoMouseActivation setting in [General] section of SlickRun.ini for those who
don’t want to be able to Activate Slickrun via click
