Need to find real estate comps? www.redfin.com

Need to find real estate comps? www.redfin.com is a sweet site. Not only can you search for new homes on the MLS listings but you can also search previous Sale Records. I don't know of any other site that offers the same functionality. Click the 'More Options' link by the 'Search Listings' button.

Another really nice feature, If you find a bunch of homes for sale in a viewable area on the map, click the 'DOWNLOAD' link to get all of the info in excel (csv).

Uptime and performance monitoring made easy - pingdom.com

This is a nice service - http://pingdom.com/

Get an email or SMS alert if your site is not responding. They ping your site from multiple servers in both North America and Europe.

They offer one free account where you can ping a single url or get one of their payed monthly plans if you have additional sites to monitor.

GIMP install on MAC

Don't bother installing GIMP using MacPorts; I started this process and it ran for over an hour before I stopped the install. It has alot of dependencies and MacPorts was busy installing all of them.

Just go to http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/Download.html and download the package for your OS version

around 75mb download but installed in minutes :)
