No gift for gab: Four more console tools

,----[ Quote ]
| Usually I focus on console programs that 
| include an interface of some sort. The 
| reason for that, as I have said before, is 
| because there really isnât much difference 
| between GUI programs with buttons and 
| menus, and a console application that 
| arranges things visually and cues you from 
| that interface. The long, long list of 
| available audio players for the console 
| should be illustration enough of that.

Simple Invoices review

,----[ Quote ]
| Simple Invoices uses a simple approach to 
| help small organisations create and manage 
| their invoices. What we like about it is 
| that it does what it does well, without 
| using the âkitchen sinkâ approach and 
| trying to do everything else. If you 
| already have a LAMP stack in place, the 
| installation shouldnât take more than 15 
| minutes, and is well documented. Overall, 
| the software has a good feel to it. The 
| main hiccup is the need to install LAMP. 
| This may place the software out of the 
| reach of users who arenât familiar with 
| using LAMP.

Potamus: The way software should be

,----[ Quote ]
| I like sparse software. I like programs 
| that do one thing. I like applications that 
| donât try to manage my life or my schedule 
| or my music. I want clean interfaces with 
| straight lines and no rubbish. I donât want 
| glitz, I donât want frills, I donât want 
| glossy album covers fanning out between 
| tunes, all hovering over a mirrored 
| backdrop. And I definitely donât want one-
| button clickable interfaces to social 
| networking sites owned my multimedia 
| conglomerates.
