Did you know the guy who wrote PuTTY also wrote a bunch of free puzzle games for Windows, Linux and Mac? The games, currently 27 in all, are freeware with sources available. The games include Minesweeper and Sudoku clones, as well as a few I’ve never seen before.

Whether you love puzzles, or just hate spending time productively, these games are definitely worth checking out. Try solving an enormous 30-vertex game of Untangle.

Version 3.0 of my favorite cross-platform SFTP/FTP client was released over the weekend. Filezilla now boasts full drag and drop support, which was my most desired feature in the 2.x versions. It also got rid of the purple and orange icon, which was probably my second-most desired change! I do tragic amounts of FTP stuff at work, so I’m pretty happy to have the drag and drop functionality finally implemented.

You can snag up a copy of the free software, now specifically called “Filezilla Client” at the Filezilla project website. (and NOT at filezilla dot com or any of the other sketchy sites using the Filezilla name)

Meanwhile, still no major updates to the server software, which is my favorite “nearly zero config” FTP server software for Windows.

Also I’m not dead. I just forgot about my blog.
