Using Delegate and Undelegate in jQuery 1.4.2 » Learning jQuery – Tips, Techniques, Tutorials
As some of you have heard, there have been two new methods added in jQuery 1.4.2, .delegate() and .undelegate(). These methods achieve the same thing as the .live() and .die() methods, they just use a different syntax. For those new to .live(), it’s a method in jQuery that allows you to attach events to elements that appear in the document as well as elements that will appear in the future

Monitor Windows CPU usage with Python
This little Python script lets you monitor the average CPU-load on a Windows machine. Needs WMI to be present.
import os
def get_cpu_load():
""" Returns a list CPU Loads"""
result = []
cmd = "WMIC CPU GET LoadPercentage "
response = os.popen(cmd + ' 2>&1','r').read().strip().split("\r\n")
for load in response[1:]:
result.append(int(load))
return result
if __name__ == '__main__':
print get_cpu_load()

WinSnap – ALT-PRINT replacement tool for “screenshots on steroids”
Winsnap is a multi-featured screenshot tool for Windows. WinSnap can enumerate and capture all visible windows of the foreground application and combine them into one screenshot. It can make shots of non-rectangular windows with rounded corners, add a shadow or watermark and much more. It is free for private use.
TaskSwitchXP – famous alt-tab manager
TaskSwitchXP is an advanced task management utility that picks up where the standard Windows Alt+Tab switcher leaves off. It provides the same functionality, and adds visual styles to the dialog and also enhances it by displaying thumbnail preview of the application that will be switched to.

Nice alternative to the classic Luna skin: Royale Theme for WinXP available for download
A new theme, potentially destined for Windows XP, has leaked out of Microsoft and onto the web. The theme appears to have come out of a beta version of Media Center 2005, currently in testing.
The theme is not a substantially different incarnation of the existing of Luna, the current default theme for Windows XP. You can see the main changes in the screenshots below; one could describe it as being a ‘glass mod’ of Luna.
Download the Theme here.
