Buds Biased Utils Report, 17

Bud's Biased Utils Report #17 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wow... I'm starting to like this Tuesday (Read: Thursday) deadline more and more. After all, it gives me a considerable amount of extra time to write (Read: Sleep) in. Honestly, though, it does give me more of a chance to reflect back on what has come out during the week, and some more testing time as well. If my release dates are a little off this week (I don't think they are, but I can and usually do fuck up), it's because Doopie isn't recording new releases while certain systems are being upgraded, DOD dupe checker is busted, Dupecheck.com's URL isn't resolving, and I have finals this week. I'm also too lazy to root through sites for every release of the last week. Usually my way for checking up on what I missed while off IRL is Windupe/Doopie... I don't think I fucked up though. I hope. Anyways by next week all my classes will be done till September so hopefully I can be a little more in depth and get some more of those interviews done. Disclaimer: It's BIASED moron. My opinion. So don't send me a bunch of mail & messages bitching about this or that. If you don't like it... SCREW YOU =] Rankings: Groups get a score out of 10. Points are given for amount of releases, but QUALITY titles will give a group a much higher score. Nukes for duping, broken releases and just plain CRAP will lower a groups score. However on the occasion that a title is nuked which I don't feel should have been, MY OWN JUDGEMENT TAKES PRECEDENCE. Cuz I'm writing this. Groups can also get points for any other reason I see fit. Week: Week is based from 04/04/99 to 04/10/99. I'm in the EST time zone so dates/times run according to it.

And they did some nice tools here, in the Development field especially, although a dupe on Parts for Java set them back a point. Xing Audio Catalyst 2 is my fav here.

For those of you who ask, I don't care where apps come from, I'm more concerned about quality. Especially since these days one can card MS Word online and download it. Not that I'd ever do that <g>. Applet Button Factory is one of my favorite Java Applet packages, unfortunately both it and Marquee wizard are dupes. I still recommend it though. A good week even with a point gone for duping.

People I've spoken to from RiSE say the move wasn't entirely expected... with his parting, Kiterith has been promoted to a leadership position. With all the movements memebr wise in RiSE I sometimes wonder how they can keep track of it all. ;) They did manage three nice titles this week, quality as usual... yuk this is getting gushy so I'll stop.

That paired with Desaware's StorageTools 2 are probably the best apps here. On the downside, a few repacks, on a filename for the MS SQL Server Access Lib. for DBTools.h++ and a worse job on Thumbs Plus, where the original had the wrong file rar'd, an earlier version. Whoever packed that should be castrated and boiled in oil! <g> The repack works fine however. They ravaged the RogueWave product line as usual on Saturday.

Netscape Messaging Server 4 is the best thing here in my eyes, but titles like LabView RT and Platinum SQL Station are nice as well. Not the best quality seen this week, not bad either... as usual they're more inclined for megs than excellent smaller apps. I'd really like to see PFT worrying about more than megs for a change though.

CuteFTP, despite the frequent cries about it being shareware, will be one of the most downloaded titles of the week. McAfee Office is really a selection of dupes however. Rest of the stuff is so-so, as usual some the these updated apps are way to minor.

That and my finals. But they're over by next week!!! And hopefully the clouds will lift then and give way for some nice summer weather. This was a really dull week, I gave it to SGE mainly for Matlab, but MFD deserves special mention for it's PowerQuest releases. - Bud
