So I’ve been using virtual machines much more frequently recently, but only new VM’s that I’ve created. This weekend was my first attempt at P2V (physical to virtual). I have a decent XP dual core machine that has served me well for the last 2 years, but after my upgrade to a nice I7 Win7 [...]

I recently needed to modify hundreds of links on a wiki page based on a dynamic value, so I created a simple bookmarklet (ModWikiLinks).
I searched for a tool to properly format/shrink it and found: the bookmarklet crunchinator.
