FREE TO DOWNLOAD
Here are some nifty free stuff you can find online that I like and find very useful:
EXPRESS SCRIBE - I always mention this software in my posts because for me, this is the best transcription software ever, even better than some paid transcription software. The best thing about this transcription software is I can change the speed of the recording without affecting the pitch of the speaker's voice. (Sorry, StartStop. Express Scribe trumps you.)
GOOGLE DESKTOP - Indexes my files and makes it a breeze to locate them.
MOZILLA THUNDERBIRD - Perfect for my Gmail accounts. Organizes my email and my contacts, and keeps out spam. I use it with Lightning, an extension that adds an organizer and a calendar.
PHOTOSCAPE - A great alternative to Adobe Photoshop. It has all the features I need and more. Comes with a screen capture utility. Very easy to use.
FREE STUDIO MANAGER - A whole suite of programs that enables me to download videos, edit video and audio files, convert videos to MP3 sound files, convert video files to DVDs and burn them and more. With this suite, who needs Nero?
K-LITE CODEC PACK - Allows me to watch and/or listen to audio and video files of any format.
CUTE PDF - Allows me to create PDFs from any printable document. This can be used to create ebooks.
7ZIP - Allows me to unpack or open .tar, .rar and .zip files.
ONLINE STOP WATCH - An ADD sufferer like me needs an online stopwatch to keep myself focused on what I am doing (Beating deadlines keep me focused). I also use this to remind myself during breaks when I should go back to work. It has a fairly audible alarm. You can either download or use the online version.
Be careful when you download free software. Some of them come with trojans, viruses and spyware (some people are just really bad). So far, I haven't had any problems with all the programs I have mentioned above so go ahead and download. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I have. :-)
New Video (Free!)
I haven't written here for quite a while. I've been under a great deal of stress. Something terrible happened the day after I wrote my last post. I won't bother to write about it. All I can say is that when something bad happens, cry if you have to, then learn from the experience, look for the blessings behind it and move on.
I wish every one a Happy New Year and I pray that 2009 will be a much better year for all of us.
We just celebrated Christmas. In my country, people start to feel Christmas-y in September; this is when you begin to hear Christmas carols and see Christmas decors in department stores. The Christmas spirit pervades through the -ber months (September, October, November, December). The feast of the Epiphany, which is on the first Sunday after New Year's Day, marks end of the Christmas season. I think we have the longest Christmas season.
The real spirit of Christmas is the spirit of sharing. So with two more weeks before the Christmas season ends in my country, I would like to share the gift which was given to me. This is a free video that could prove valuable to everyone who would like to make some serious money online. It was made by Adeel Chowdhry (You can find his blog at http://www.adeelchowdhry.com). It won't ask you to spend money. It's just a guide on how to make money online. Hint: Adeel will show you how to get jobs and how to use leverage to earn more money with less effort. I suggest that you try oDesk, too (He didn't include oDesk, but I strongly recommend this site.) To see the movie, fill out the form found at the right side of Adeel's blog. He will send you a link to the video. To go to Adeel's blog, simply click here.
I wish every one a Happy New Year and I pray that 2009 will be a much better year for all of us.
