Found a great site that I had not previously known about, to create the virtual machines for use in VMWare Player. The site is called Easy VMX and its a very slick web interface that allows the creation of these files. Then the free VMWare Player will just run it like it was built normally in any other VMWare product. Of course now all the VMWare software is free, one way or another, even down to ESXi now, but this is still useful/good information to know about.

Also added a bunch of great new Firefox 3.0 add-on’s today :

Update 2011-04-22, this really should be its own entry, but I’m so used to searching for this July 31 entry that I don’t want multi steps. But Firefox 4 has dropped the keyboard shortcut for F6 to take you to the address bar. This fixes that :
