I took a class in undergrad that taught us how to program in Fortran in 2 weeks. Not very exciting so I can’t say that I understand the full potential of the language if there is any potential at all. Oh well, for all of you Fortran geeks out there here is a nice stop for ya. Read more »

WinCheat

WinCheat is one of the coolest little utilities that I’ve come across in a long time.
