Episode #82
I’m wondering if you know of a good auto click program for my mouse to use on Vista Premium OS? I’m trying to get onto a streaming video site that only has so many slots (80) and I need to give my fingers a break!!!

I recommend a free program called AutoHotKey - it’s dead useful in many circumstances, including this one, but…
I don’t know of any such software, but I can tell you why I think it’s an incredibly bad idea: anything that just automatically clicks away might click on anything that pops up, which is the quickest way you can infect your system. Even if such a thing exists, I wouldn’t recommend using such a thing.

- Traxxpad:Portable Studio
$40
So you think the PSP is just for games, huh? Well, why not turn it into your very own beatbox? Traxxpad:Portable Studio is a virtual drum machine that you can use to sequence short drum and percussion loops, to play live, and to play pre-saved sequences on the fly. It takes a bit of work getting used to the interface (figuring out how to switch modes can be a bit unintuitive if you don’t have the instructions right in front of you) and the button layout of the PSP isn’t ideal for this purpose, but you can certainly create your own killer beats with the Traxxpad.Traxxpad:Portable Studio
Eidos Interactive Ltd.Pro:
- ability to program your own beats
- play back various sequences with the touch of a button
Con:
- interface difficult to learn

- Today in History
Developer: Iain Grant
What the title suggests. Today in history with an admitted Canadian slant. Interesting events, people, birthdays, and some surprises.
At present, you get EVERYTHING for the day. The developer is working on a ‘mini’ screen with just a few events, with an option to see everything. Unfortunately, because of anomalies between IE and Firefox this is taking a bit longer than planned. It will be available soon though. So yes, at present this app does eat up a lot of real-estate.
