About me
Interested in all things technical. Always looking for a good deal on line or in town. Free and cheap software is good. Current favorite website: Giveawayoftheday.com and its sister gamegiveawayoftheday.com . Hansen's Pomegranate Green Tea Soda is good. So is John Pointer's music.
Why I use Clipmarks
They are so cute. I love the way they scurry around on the ground gathering nuts. It's too bad they are wild - I'd love to have one as a pet..

Clipmarks? I thought it said chipmonks.

Screen Recording software for free
VampireRat
by VampireRat  11-28-2007   
 The free download is for version 3.1.3. The current version, Camtasia Studio v5, retails for $299. This software is used to create little movies of what is happening on your screen, typically for software demonstration or training purposes. With the download, you get an offer to upgrade to v5 for half price. Below this article, on the same Ghacks page, you will also find a link to get an older version of SnagIt for free. Made by the same company, Snagit snaps still pictures of all or part of your screen and includes an editor with which you can add text, highlighting, arrows, and more to your image. Another great tool for educators, software developers, or just people who want to save pictures from the Internet and add text "bubbles."

Free online collaboration website

by VampireRat  9-20-2007   
 Online collaboration tools run the gamut in price, features, and complexity. If you're looking for something that's so simple you can start using it immediately, Stixy would be an excellent choice, and FREE is a good price. Share notes, photos, documents, and a To Do.Calendar. Does not include online document editing. Go directly there: http://www.stixy.com/

Free software to create greeting cards

by VampireRat  9-10-2007   
 The description says this is a "creative game," but that is incorrect. Perhaps they meant to say "creative gem?" It is free software to design and print your own greeting cards. Great for kids.

 I just found about a superb piece of freeware called HelpMaker from Vizacc. http://www.vizacc.com/ As well as the text editing application it comes with a range of other tools such as a button maker, pdf creator, a screen capture tool, and more. It is so good, I cannot believe it is free.

 This is Donation Coder's review of a new website, "Play This Thing." You can just go straight to the Play website here: http://playthisthing.com/ I find it interesting that they will offer board games once a week, too. The site is new and there's not much there yet, but it bears watching. This is a participatory site. They want you to comment in the Forum and/or even set up your own free blog.

CCleaner -Free System Cleaner - Portable Beta Available
VampireRat
by VampireRat  8-22-2007   
 (Crap)Cleaner has been known as an excellent system cleaner for some time - and it is free. You can try the beta version now. Ver 2.0 is a complete rebuild in C++ with these features: # Portable CCleaner can now run from a USB thumbdrive and be installed/run on a computer without a complicated setup process. # Compact The rewrite removed all external file dependencies, so the main EXE is now half the size of the original program and support files. # Faster analyzing and cleaning Each scanning process was rewritten from scratch and fully optimized. The result being a noticeable speed increase in all areas. # Redesigned User Interface The original CCleaner user interface was looking a little dated, so the GUI was redesigned with a modern look, but without sacrificing speed or usability. New icons were created for the interface and the main program icon was updated with a more modern style. # Exclusions It is now possible to specify files, folders and registry keys to ig

 DownloadSquad also saiys: "Litepost stands out with a number of unique features, including email tagging and rating, as well as interesting 'Who, What, When, Why' sorting methods with which, for example, you can sort by date first, then sender (or vice versa). You can also arbitrarily group messages together for any reason, solving one of the complaints of the message threading or conversation view that Gmail made popular."

Easy Duplicate File Finder
VampireRat
by VampireRat  8-22-2007   
 Scan your entire hard drive or specified folders to find identical files. If you've got thousands of MP3s or photos, Easy Duplicate Finder can save you hours of work tracking down files you've downloaded twice. The program looks at more than just the file name. It also analyzes file size and other properties so that if you've got two identical files with separate names, Easy Duplicate Finder will find them and let you delete duplicate files while retaining the originals.

 Collagr.com gives users the ability to generate backgrounds from images they have stored in multiple places on the internet. They can then place that background image on their MySpace/YouTube/Break.com page. Right now they only support getting images from Flickr, but they are adding a lot more image sources and extra graphic editing functionality very soon.
