I love free software. :P I have a large amount of it installed to my computer, so I’m sharing a few of it with you guys. Here are five applications which I don’t think I’d survive without.
-
Tweetdeck – I’m always on
Twitter. It’s one of my favorite web apps and I’m more active there than on
Plurk (which is evident, by the looks of my Plurk karma – that was 95 about a couple months ago – don’t care anymore). If I didn’t have Tweetdeck, I probably wouldn’t tweet that often, since I’m lazy with regards to logging into my accounts.
-
Blogdesk – I have about three Wordpress blogs, so it’s a bit of a hassle to log into my accounts one by one just to blog. Blogdesk helps me post to all my blogs using just one application. I don’t have to log in, and it comes with a few nifty tools.
-
Combined Community Codec Pack – I don’t like the media player bundled with XP, and it’s a pain looking for the codecs that I need one by one, so this codec pack is very convenient. It has all the codecs I need, plus Media Player Classic. :)
-
Filezilla – A few months ago, my Firefox installation started working really slowly because of the amount of addons I use. I was very dependent on FireFTP. So after reformatting my computer, I went on a search for a nice, free FTP client and found this.
-
Fotosizer – I’m usually rather active on
Flickr (not right now, because I haven’t had time to process my film). So this batch resizer is pretty useful, because uploading high-res images takes so long, especially if you consider my ISP.
I could go on and on about the other applications I regularly use, such as foobar and Foxit, but I only said I’d list five. :D
Diventare turned a year old two days ago. :P I intended to blog, but it slipped my mind. :)
It’s midnight, and I just got home. I’m tired, but very happy. Let me list the happy things that happened during the past 24 hours:
- I was able to catch up with friends I haven’t seen in almost five years. These people were my kids’ church classmates, and it’s amazing to see how we’ve all grown up.
- One of those friends is now a pastor, and is a pretty good one if I may say so.
- While on the way to the youth service where I caught up with aforementioned friends, we stopped by a convenience store for ice cream (my insistence). In that convenience store, near light fixtures, I found a clear yellow (yellow!) umbrella, which I bought right away. Squee!
- Wimbledon. Novak Djokovic. Need I say more?
- Life is good. Life is very very good.
- My friends are always awesome. And even though they annoy the crap out of me most of the time, I still love ‘em. ♥
Diventare is turning a year old in a few days, and I’m looking forward to it. I think I’ve gotten back to normal, but only time will tell. Maybe I just need to be in a good mood to be able to blog properly. :)
Still feeling a little sad about Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson, though. :(
I seem to have lost all motivation to blog. Which is why I was bewildered when I found myself renewing my domain this morning (hurrah, diventare.org is turning 1 year old on the 1st of July – never mind that everything has been somewhat dull for the past few months, it’s still my first time to stick with a domain for a year).
No matter how unmotivated I am to blog, I’m not sure if I want to let go of this whole blogging thing yet, mainly because of all the amazing people I’ve gotten to know through blogging, such as Feah and Grace. I’ll probably let go of this when I feel the need to contact a Morristown personal injury lawyer. Which is never, I hope.
I’ll be back to normal soon. :D I just don’t know when, but soon.
On a lighter note, one of my closest friends, Jem, graduated today. I didn’t get to attend the graduation ceremony, because I had other things to attend to, but I’m sure he had a lot of fun.
