José Luis Sánchez Navarro in avemundi tells us that he is updating his web site, alanit, with the latest versions of Cuaderno de Bitácora (inventory of personal information and collections of disks, videos, books etc.) and Colossus (management of passwords). The latest version of Cuaderno de Bitácora has a new system of registration that does not tie the program to a specific machine. The latest version of Colossus now works in Windows98 and Win2000 as well as XP. He is thinking of collaborating with Softonic in order to facilitate the distribution of these programs. Softonic is the "7th most visited Spanish web site according to AIMC 2004" and distributes a wide range of software titles. The latest change to the alanit web site is a re-styling of the logo and is inviting comments.
