Using Eclipse (Helios) and following the “Hello World SWT” tutorial, I would get “No projects found to import” when trying to import SWT into my new project. Turns out the current SWT archive (3.6) is incomplete. I was able to import SWT 2.5.2 into my project. Download it here.

Fixed my iTunes skipping problem
Since I upgraded my PC to Vista, iTunes had been skipping. Under XP on the same machine, iTunes had been playing OK. Playback would stutter/skip several times a minute. It was really annoying. I couldn’t find a fix anywhere, although all the fixes seemed to point to Quicktime or upgrading codecs. However my fix turned out to be something else. In Quicktime, I changed “Play audio using” from “Direct Sound” to “Windows Audio Session”. No more skipping! Apparently the “Windows Audio Session” option became available with iTunes 9.
