I’m a bit slow to catch up on internet telephony. A friend from Malaysia suggested Skype to me. This software is is ad-free (and free) and works just like you’d expect it. You download and install it, create a user name, look up your friend’s login and start talking through microphone and speakers (or exchange URLs via the integrated chat window). You can also search for contacts anywhere in the world. I suppose this only works smooth with a fast connection on both sides, but once you got it running well you won’t have to pay astronomical rates... which makes all the difference when I call Malaysia.
Colorzilla is a Firefox extension which lets you pick any color from web pages. After installation (and restart) you will see a small icon in the lower left; just click it and move the mouse over the screen to see the RGB values for every pixel. This is a handy asset for web designers. [Via Dr. Web.]
