Two outstanding bugs that the Dropbox team are still working on:

SpywareBlaster 5

SpywareBlaster 5 was released on March 1, 2013. Head out to BrightFort.com to download the latest version of SpywareBlaster. I do recommend people to get the Auto Update, for a small fee to support the developer.

Glad to know BrightFort (formerly JavaCoolSoftware) no longer distributes SpywareBlaster through download.com.

Makeshift Light Box for Coin Photography

Vondiggity asked me to photograph a few late antiquity coins of Roman origin. I used my MacBook Pro, an iPad and a piece of white paper to create a light box.

The results are not bad at all. The photos below were not re-touched other than 16 by 9 cropping and resizing.
