Links and odd ends By Roy Osherove May 3, 2006 **Historical article** · Originally published May 3, 2006; technical details may be outdated. [Scott is so totally wrong](http://www.hanselman.com/blog/ReplacingExplorerexeTheReturnOfNortonCommanderWithXplorer2AndFAR.aspx) \- it hurts to read. He thinks  [FAR](http://farmanager.com/screens.php?l=en) and [xplorer2](http://zabkat.com/x2lite.htm) are the best explorer replacements ever, but personally I think once he tries [Total Commander](http://www.ghisler.com/), he'll never go back (the UI looks like an oldie, but it has more features than both combined, methinks) Oh, and have I mentioned how much I like [Larkware](http://www.larkware.com/) yet? I like it a lot! Unfortunately, I haven't had enough time lately to check it out, so here's a collection of links posted there in the last month or so, which I find interesting: - [cl1p.net](http://cl1p.net/) - Make up your own URL, paste in data, go to another machine, visit the URL, copy the data back. An easy way to use HTTP to transport data between computers. - [csUnit 2.1.1 BETA](http://www.csunit.org./) - This unit-testing tool for .NET now supports .NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005. - [Automise](http://www.automise.com/) - VSoft has released their general-purpose automation utility, with a GUI based on the fantastic FinalBuilder. You can download a 30-day eval copy [here](http://www.automise.com/automise-downloads.aspx), or license it starting at $195 In other news - **NUnit 2.2.5 Released **This is an update to the recent 2.2.4 release, the first new production release of NUnit in over a year. See [this blog entry](http://nunit.com/blogs/?p=18) for a summary of features and links to the release - [Ohad keeps making his Beat-Box Demo cooler and cooler](http://weblogs.asp.net/israelio/archive/2006/05/03/444931.aspx).It's for Tech-Ed Israel and demonstrates creating a beat mixing application that uses [EntLib](http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/entlib) for all it's backend stuff.  I saw this live and this is indeed a demo for the books. In fact, he should distribute it after Tech-Ed Israel with source, because this is one cool demo! That's it. Nothing else interesting happening out there for us .NET techies. Really. I swear.
