In the Cockpit with Craig: New! - Read My Books Online and Download

I have been writing a lot on other things and one of my passions is Aircraft!

That's another story!!
Anyway, if you are interested in all things Aircraft related then I have a book to download and some war stories to let you read from time to time.

Just picking up the pieces

2009-05-11T19:53:00.003Z

You may have wondered where the heck I was for so long after Christmas, with good reason!
Many of the people in my circle are wondering the same thing; has he kicked it or is he ill or maybe he was taken away by Aliens and probed for the wealth of knowledge stored away in that vast chamber of dark secrets called a mind?

Does anyone really care, nope!

Well the truth of the matter is just a simple event like my web host all of a sudden in the middle of the busiest season of them all just up and died on me, not really death as we know it Jim! Just a vanishing act, and whilst the disappearance was happening they took all of my lovely web sites with them, those barstewards!!

So, in the ensuing weeks and months I have had to rebuild and remake and research and find a new host and start all over again. O.K., YES, I have been told numerous times about making backup copies of all the hours of pounding away at the keyboard and still Never Got A Round Toit!

Please take the lesson from me and make a backup of all your files, and also make them so that they can be added to or "Append To" so you always have an up to date copy of what you're doing.

You can see the fruit of my keyboard antics and play some Free Online Games as well or add them to your website or blog or profile on Facebook or Myspace or any other Social Networking site you wish to, just by copying the code below the game and pasting it into your page, and you can even download them to your machine and play when you're not even connected, simple eh?

I'll be adding some really cool stuff now that I am sort of back to my old tricks, so stay tuned, you may be surprised!

FREE Santa Claus Letter for Your Children

2008-12-08T18:51:00.001Z

Santa Claus is writing to all children for FREE if they have been good boys and girls.
That's one thing I always wanted when I was a child, now I get to make sure everyone who wishes can do this for their child and for no cost.

I know that I should of had this working before now and I did want it to be, but I also wanted to make sure everything was working properly!

The site lets you add the details of your child and then personalizes a letter to them from Santa Claus and sends it by email to an email address you choose.

The smile on the face of a child as they or you read this letter from Santa to them and mentioning their name, age and where they live, what toys they expect, parents & friends name - all add to their excitement for the coming holiday.

You can create as many as you like - No Cost - at this address:
http://budurl.com/FreeLetter

Choose to mention Both parents or just Mother or just Father in the letter and it will make the necessary changes to the letter and then send it by email.

Please let your friends know that they can use this service at no cost too.

New URL Shrinker with Tracking

2008-10-30T17:57:00.000Z

I have found out about the newest online URL Shrinker and it's called BudURL.
If you're not sure what that means then let me explain why you need to be using one of these in your daily business efforts online.

When you are trying to get people to go to a certain website and the only link that you have to give those people looks something like: http://www.mediafire.com/?8v2bq4v3tdw , then most people will probably think I'm not goin' to type all that in or even remember that link for more than a couple seconds.
Then you can see why it make sense to use the BudURL application to shorten that link to something more memorable like http://budurl.com/MasteryofTheAir and have all the link information to hand whenever you want to see it and be able to then see if your efforts have made an impact.
You can use this service for FREE now and they are adding more features all the time!
This tool is the "Love Child" of Live Oak 360 .

Make a Cool Word Graphic from your blog

2008-09-24T18:43:00.003Z

I was reading Joe Vitale's blog and saw the link to this really cool Word Cloud graphic creator.
It will take a URL of any website and turn it into a word cloud by using the actual words on your page.
This TOY is Cool because it takes the words that are used more frequently and gives them a bigger font size and then scrambles them all up and places them into a graphic that you can then use on your page or print and/or place in their Gallery for the world to see.
Of course if you think about it a bit there is a place on the gallery images for comments about your creation which you can get another link to your website!
After it creates your graphic, then you get to tweak it by making changes to the Font, Layout and Color Scheme.

Official Google Blog: A fresh take on the browser

2008-09-02T12:57:00.000Z

Official Google Blog: A fresh take on the browser

Well, Google have definitely had their thinking caps on again with the emergence
of "Google Chrome", what's that you ask?

Google Chrome is a NEW Web Browser built from Open Source and that means to
you that when it gets out of the testing stages (in Beta now) it will be a new FREE
browser made to the specification of the people who are probably online Most of
Their Lives - the Google Team!

Look out for news on the release of the stable version of this browser because it
promises to be "The One" and it should be.

For now check out the comic book that Google has used to describe Chrome.

I will be keeping up with this one to be sure!

Torn Paper Effect using GIMP

2008-08-03T19:38:00.002Z

I wanted to give you a very cool idea this time!

There is this FREE SOFTWARE called the GIMP and it is a very good rival to PhotoShop, it is really easy to get to grips with using it. It also works on Mac OS X and Unix!

Also there is this website called Stock.xchng where you can find FREE Photos to add to your projects, most of these are marked as Royalty FREE and some are just marked as "let publisher know where/when used" no fees to pay.

The website also hosts photos that will cost a nominal fee but there is no need to use those unless they are the ones that you Must-Have to use in your project.

My suggestion is to take a look at this tutorial, yes people even show you how to use the different tools available for manipulating photos with on this website, it shows how to take a photo and convert it to a picture that looks like a ripped in half photo, very cool and useful!

Play with the Gimp and see what you can do with the many Plug-ins that are developed for it, you'll be pleasantly surprised to see all the support this software has and probably won't even give PhotoShop another look!

Finally - Firefox3: The Best Firefox Browser Ever is Released

2008-06-18T18:07:00.002Z

The Best Firefox Yet

With more than 15,000 improvements, Firefox 3 is faster, safer and smarter than ever before.

I've been waiting months since the announcement from Mozilla that Firefox3 will be stable and ready for everyday usage, it was officially released on 17th June 2008 and it is all it's cracked up to be!

It is Faster to load; no more waiting ages for a page to load from a link in another app. like Outlook or other link farms and RSS readers.

Less Memory Hungry; this version (3.0) runs with much better memory use and that adds to the speed of page access, definitely a much anticipated upgrade to previous versions!

More Secure Than Any Other;

When Are You at Risk?

An independent study shows that, in 2006, IE users were vulnerable to online threats 78% of the time. Firefox users? Only 2%.

“At risk” defined as publicly available exploits with no patch. Source: “Internet Explorer users Unsafe for 284 Days in 2006”

Brian Krebs, Washington Post, 1/4/2007

Fully Customizable; there are over 5,000 Add-Ons to help you create a "Truly Personal Web Experience" that no other browser comes close to!

This is by far just scraping the surface of what this new version release can help you do, the best part of all of it is that it is an Open Source application and that means that it is FREE!!, always has been and always will be.

Take the Tour with a cool Video to show what it's all about.

You should at least download it and have a play with it, especially if all you've ever used is IE. There will be no compatibility issues if you have both Firefox3 and IE7 installed, I've done it for years.

Comment Kahuna | Free Link Building Software

Comment Kahuna | Free Link Building Software

Jason Potash has a great FREE Software that helps you with the task of building links to your website that get you ranked higher in the search engines.
You should act quickly on this as he may not be giving it away for FREE for too much longer!
Watch the video on the page and it will show you how to use the software and tell you the finer points on getting ranked higher in the search engines.

You basically use this program to post comments on other blogs that are 'Relative' to your website; his example is getting his 'Trout Fishing' website ranked higher by listing all the blogs that have anything to do with trout fishing, fishing, etc. Anything that may be relative to the subject of your website will be listed and then, you select those which have the higher rankings to post comments on.

All this is 'White Hat' or 'Above Board' and very easy to do. You of course will want to make sure that those blogs which you choose to post on are 'very relevant' not just close to your subject or what services and products you sell.

The software is still growing and an updated version will also be sent to you when completed, so it looks like this is one of those times when having your finger on the pulse is going to pay off and in a big way if you are prepared to put in the small amount of effort involved in using this Free Software!

Jason Potash has been around the web for more than a few years and continues to surprise me with his creativity, well done again Jason.

When you need a place to host your files online that you want to give friends, family and others access to, then MediaFire is the place to go.
Just look at what they say:

MediaFire is the simplest way to host files and images and share them with others.

MediaFire is a free and unlimited file and image hosting web site with no strings attached. Our goal is to help make the internet a more interesting and media rich place by provide the fastest and most simple to use tool for sharing all kinds of files in almost any way imaginable.

With MediaFire's easy to use sharing tools and embedding links you can share entire folders of files and images by email, instant messenger, or on your MySpace page, blog or forum.

Rokario Software - Free Bandwidth Monitor

2007-07-14T19:56:00.000Z

Rokario Software - Free Bandwidth Monitor
Continuing on the the theme of bandwidth issues I've been using this monitor from Rokario Software to keep a check on my bandwidth usage. It is a very cool little application that stays mostly in the system tray unless you want to watch the various amounts monitored like kb/sec incoming, kb/sec outgoing, traffic(transfer) this hour, (amount)downloaded today, uploaded today and traffic this month. You also get a daily log to see your past usage and compare data.

I've been determined to keep track of these issues since my run-in with the Broadband Rip-Offs that I mentioned in my last post!

The really cool thing, after all the different things you can monitor is the fact that you can use many different "looks" for the application and not only that, you also have the ability to create your own "look" and not just use it, but upload it to their website and let others use it too. Now, I know we all are not interested in going that far, but if you are it's very tempting and makes the whole application even more desirable.

Like I said I've been using this tool for a while now and have found it to be very informing, especially when I'm still having issues with connection speed and making sure I do not exceed any limits for any month. When you look at all the features and benefits you get from using this application and the fact that you can get it for FREE!! just make it a really valuable asset to my toolbox.

Rokario.com do offer a Pro Version of Bandwidth Monitor 2 for $15.98 which has about 9 more options available, but if you are just looking for a personal application then go for the FREE Version.

When Unlimited does not mean Unlimited

2007-06-04T19:33:00.000Z

You may think this makes no sense and to most of the people that grew up learning English when I did (some time ago) this will not by any definition make sense. But when you are looking to find a ISP (Internet Service Provider) then the rules have been changed for the better, better that is for the ISP.

You see, there is this thing about ISPs that most people don't get to find out unless they are a "power user" or someone that is connected say for 18 of the 24 hours of the day and maybe they are the kinds of users which like to download loads of content from the online content providers.

You may not be aware that there could be anything worth downloading other than a few desktop wallpapers or tunes for your playlist. That's all the better for the ISPs because they are looking to become your Service Provider and you will be the "IDEAL" user for their services.

There are so many commercials, adverts, posters, etc. that are advertising to these "low bandwidth" users - Unlimited Broadband for a ridiculously low price and they are making out like bandits, charging for an unlimited service that you could not possibly use all that is offered if you tried, even if you really, really tried! Look at it from their point of view:

We provide a service that most users will never be able to push to the "limit", oh there is a limit! So we can confidently propose to those users the fallacy of "unlimited" because they don't have enough Free Time to be able to use even a small insignificant part of the bandwidth which we provide, so they will never find out that there is actually a "LIMIT" and most do not ever consider the case.

Now, take a different scenario and look at this "Unlimited Broadband" con.

The main householder, "user 1", spends all day, roughly 10-12 hours actually connected to the internet and is not only downloading but also uploading content to the Internet on one or more websites.

There is another user in the household, "user 2", and they are at university but do all of their coursework and research for their course at home because they are disabled and find it more to their liking to do it all from home instead of traveling to and from campus everyday or living away with a full time carer. This user is also using the same connection through a wireless router and is online roughly 8-12 hours a day and downloading as well as uploading throughout the day everyday.

Then we have our next user in the household, "user 3", who just likes to listen to the online-radio stations and they easily listen to this all day long for roughly 8-10 hours a day.
So far we have three users pushing the "Limit" of the "Unlimited Broadband" but wait, we have a couple more users to add to make this even more complex.

The next two users work a job outside the home, "user 4" and "user 5", are online chatting with friends, downloading pics, downloading ebooks, downloading music to put on phones and portable devices, etc. These users are the only ones that the service was envisioned for:

the crowd - the ones that are out most of the day and when they do get home, only have a few hours to get online and use the "unlimited" broadband they got for such a good deal!

But one day the householder receives a letter from the ISP regarding their usage of the service and is told in no uncertain terms that their usage is in contradiction of the terms of the agreement and a clause has been broken in the contract and to remedy this they can pay for "unlimited broadband" and of course the householder agrees because otherwise there would be a disconnection.

The next month brings the next letter from the ISP, again the terms of the contract seem to still be in contradiction with the user's use, but this time the ISP is giving no more warnings and gives notice of termination of the service forthwith. Of course the users are all up in arms about how this could happen and a call goes to the ISP to query the termination. The ISP is not interested this time and quotes the clause of the contract that has been broken and is immovable on the decision.

The terms of the disconnection are such that it will take about 12 days to disconnect the line and there are no other ISPs able to give the user a broadband line, either unlimited or not because the first ISP has not actually disconnected the service yet, so the user has to wait until the disconnection is complete before they can carry on their daily activities and so too do the other users in the household have to wait.

Well, 18 days later and there are no signs of being disconnected so the user phones the ISP and enquirers about the length of time till disconnection and the ISP has no idea but that the order has been sent through to the appropriate department and it shouldn't take much more than a couple more days.

In the meantime the user sets up a new account with a new ISP after phoning all the other ISPs and enquiring as to their "unlimited broadband" accounts, which turn out to be the same as or close to the first ISP as far as actual usage of the account.

Finally coming to a relatively new ISP with accounts designed for “Power Users” and of course there are “limits” to the account, but the limits this time are far superior to the other ISPs and they are not afraid to tell prospective users the limitations of the service upfront and letting them decide if it fills their needs.

Happy days! They can finally get back to some sort of normality without being disrupted by threats of disconnection or actually being disconnected because they broke one of the terms of the contract, which when searching for the said clause in the original contract, was never found to be included! Make up your own mind.

As this all was taking place, a well known and trusted investigative programme on TV actually did an investigation into the very same question of "Unlimited Broadband" and found that while these ISPs touting the "unlimited" banner were actually misleading users into believing they would have free reign to use as much of the service as they could possibly use. The only thing that was keeping them out of court for false advertising was the fact that most people do not know the difference between "unlimited downloads" and "unlimited connection" and it is this unlimited connection that they are selling in their packages.

One more definition that pertains to all this is the "Fair Usage Policy" which turns out to be something along the lines that; as long as you are not using too much of the service during peak times then all is well and good, but if you are exceeding this usage then you're in trouble!

So at the end of the day, when you have a large household and you think you're getting a really good package from an ISP who quotes "Unlimited Broadband" make sure that you are not going to be exceeding their Fair Usage Policy or their limits for how many Gigabytes a month Downloading and Uploading otherwise known as “transfer amount” you are actually able to use within limits, or was that unlimits!

You decide, but make sure you don't make the wrong choice, You Have Been Warned!

"Gary Halbert has left the building"

2007-04-11T19:34:00.000Z

If you sell anything and you write sales letters, this will prove to be sad news for you!
I've been receiving emails telling me the bad news, I had to go to the only source which I felt I could trust-John Carlton and found like so many others, that the great copywriting and direct sales genius GARY HALBERT has died.
Many copywriters have learned their craft from Gary because he shared so much of what he knew that "actually works" with the world of copywriters and direct sales people, that's just the kind of person he was.
If you are just getting started and looking for some really, really great copywriting, marketing, direct sales advice then go to Gary Halbert's website and read, read, read!
I don't know how long his family will leave the website intact for us to gather his "nuggets of pure gold information", but suggest to you to get over there NOW!
Just go to the archives of his newsletter and you will be blown away by the genius that was Gary Halbert.
I never got to meet Gary personally, but he has helped me to understand more about writing sales letters than any other person I've chosen to listen to for my education.

Gary, you are a diamond, maybe rough around the edges, but no one would ask for anything different, just be gentle with those angels, won't you?
We will all miss you, but will always remember you.

NOW FREE - Video On Your Blog

2007-02-23T20:14:00.000Z

I just found this by accident and all I can say is THANKX!
You can now add free video to your blog in the same way
as adding Adsense code or some other widget.
Now, that all sounds a little bit like WORK, I know, but it
is no more work than going into your template of your blog
and replacing a tiny bit of code () with another
little bit bigger bit of code.
Then you have video added to your posts every time you
make a post. The little icon resides at the end of each one
of your posts and will (hopefully) be related to the subject
of your post.
How cool is that?
I am now in the process of adding it to my other blogs and
will be trying it out in my BigDaddyFriends and BizPreneur
accounts.

You should know by now that Video is the new BIG THING
on the Web and "Everyone" who makes a living online should
be embracing this technology now and getting it working for
their business.

P.S. Look below this post now for the new links to Free Videos!

How to customize your Private Label Content - PLR101

2007-01-08T19:09:00.000Z

How to customize your Private Label Content - PLR101

Private Label Rights are a great way to help you succeed without too much effort or work required. There are some very important things you need to remember though...

There are many ways to build content sites, the web offers a good amount of tools and
software that enable you to quickly and easily create keyword rich content site. With the growing popularity of Private Label Rights (PLR) membership sites, webmaster and internet marketers alike, are finding these PLR sites a valuable tool to boost their growth of their business in 2006.

The fundamental idea of the internet is to provide content to its users. Thus, PLR sites that provide quality royalty free, and copyright free content can drastically fill the void for website owners who need quality content but are too busy running their own business online.

In this article, we will review the various ways to easily customize PLR content in order to have unique content to use and build with your own content sites.

For those who are fairly new to the game of internet marketing this is intended for you to help sort out from easy to difficult in terms of using PLR content. Those who are more advanced may find some parts of this article a review. But it’s a good overall review for anyone looking for use PLR content in their online
marketing and presence.

Here are a couple of ways to make your PLR content unique:
(1- 5 scale | Easy to Difficult)

- Use synonym finder in word and find and replace -1
- Use Rewriter Software - 2
- Write an Introduction and conclusion - 3
- Reorder some paragraphs or sentences - 3
- Cut down and summarize the article - 2
- Manually rewrite the whole article - (2 to 4) depending on % of rewrite
- Start a fresh article without PLR content - 5

SYNONYM - If you’ve used Word before, this synonym finder is a great tool to edit and
change words around, without losing the meaning of your sentences. This is very easy to do, just highlight the work you wish to replace and select synonym. Word will give you a list of alternative words. Just choose the best one that fits in your PLR content. Then find and replace that word(s) to customize your content.

SOFTWARE - There are many software titles to choose from in terms of taking PLR content and have a machine regenerate the text with alternative words and keyword phrase. Most will create new articles for you based on the "SYNONYM" method, they regenerate the PLR content with only a few clicks.

ARTICLE WRAPPING - Article wrapping is the method of injecting an introduction and
conclusion to another article. Although it’s merely, adjusting total keyword and keyword density, some have found it useful in terms or quickly and easily adding some customization to content. In addition, you can also add some text in the middle of the article to add more content of your own.

Personally, we find it more effective if your introduction and conclusion are more specific to the article content and NOT some generic useless fluff.

SHUFFLING - Shuffling is a great way to emphasize and give new meaning to PLR content.

The basic idea is to reorder your content or paragraphs to emphasize and refocus your
content from a different angle. For example, this article could have be approached as

"The Lazy Way to Solve Writers Block", and written it in terms of editing the PLR content to make it your own without stumbling trying to write your first sentence.
Here, we could have just taken 3 out of the 6 ways to customize PLR content to tighten up the article.

By the way, if you ever need help with overcoming writer's block, then I have a special gift for you today.

Head over to http://www.ezinementors.com/dl/5simplewaystogetideas.pdf right now and you can have this Special Report at no cost - my gift to you. Best of all you can rebrand it with your name and website address, as well as quite a few affiliate links and it comes with Master Resell/Giveaway Rights, so you can use it to add another income stream to your business, or just rebrand it and give it away at no charge, using it to grow your list even bigger. It's my gift to you at http://www.ezinementors.com/dl/5simplewaystogetideas.pdf.

CUTTING THE FAT - Without getting into too many details, you can basically boil down any content into a shortened version. Have you ever read an article and say, "Geez, get to the point?" Well, cutting down paragraph and summarizing content can easily make your content unique. Just as there are million ways to skin a cat? ( bad example), cutting and editing down content is a method that works great. But back to the point, you can just boil your content into smaller segment without bloating the total word count and increasing keyword density.

REWRITING - This method is an obvious choice, but not the first choice for many since it can lead to fear and frustration to get started without a baseline. The good thing is that pre-written PLR content, provides a backbone to your rewrite, which you would other wise have to research and find on your own. With PLR content, you can simple read, absorb and well rewrite it with your own ideas flowing from the content you just read. Plus, you can add and inject your own personality to your content and you can basically do what you like with the PLR content, since you own the rights to it.

NEW - By far, depending on your own knowledge, can be quite daunting. This perhaps can be the most time consuming, but can yield the most unique content since you are basically starting from the ground up. However, as your own knowledge and comfort level increases by utilizing any of the methods above, you will find it rewarding to know that its not as troublesome as you may think. Being confident in your own voice will not only enable you to customize your PLR content with ease, but perhaps find yourself an expert in that particular niche.

Remember, the great thing about PLR content, is that you can use it over and over and
over again - with a little care, you can starting expanding you online business with an army of content rich sites. It just takes some action. So start today and try out some of the methods laid out to get you started on building your own unique content to use in your online business.

Babble-Babble-Babble-Clunk-Slam-Coo!

2006-11-11T14:50:00.000Z

The Babble-Back Machine
[This program is inspired by author Win Wenger's article at http://www.winwenger.com/part27.htm ]

Every parent — and infant day care provider who, alas, may be more relevant these days — knows, sometimes until their own ears ache, that the baby or very young toddler signals his entry into his prime state of language learning by echolaelia. He makes noise. Lots of noise. Babble-Babble-Babble-Clunk-Slam-Coo! Most learning, and most growth and development, comes not from stimulus input as such but from feedback input — what we get back from what we put out. The baby's to-us-maddening experimentation with mouth noises is the beginnings of the long process wherein he gets on top of the noise patterns we use, learns how to associate them, and becomes able to express them in a way that has meaning to us — "Da-da! Ma-Mah!" — and so on toward Shakespeare and beyond.

The better that feedback — in this or in any other sector of activity — the better the learning and growth. Here is how to give your child not only a far better gift of articulateness for life, but a far better grasp for life of verbal meanings and intelligence:

The babbleback machine is a program that continuously records sound from your PC's microphone and continuously plays that sound back after a delay. It is a fun, educational game for children as young as 6 months old.
WARNING!
Only download this "FREE TOOL" if you seriously want to give your child (or someone you know) a very big head start in vocalization and expressing themselves, way before they even get to start school!

Just when they thought I was Dead!

2006-08-02T16:24:00.000Z

Yes, they thought I was Dead, but it was not to be!

Sounds like an opening to one of those flat foot detective movies, don't it?

Well, the good news is - I'm Back, and there is no gettin' rid of me know!
I've been occupying every FREE minute of my time learning how to get by in this world without going out to work for someone else every day for that miniscule pittance called pay from what some would call a J.O.B. (Just-Over-Broke)!

The whole reason I almost ended up dead was because of the stress related to that J.O.B., workin' for some S.O.B. (withheld)!!

"Michael Senoff Interviews"

This should be the name of this website, because it is exactly what the site is . A compelling, never before in one place collection of audio recordings put together by a guy who claims to be just like you and me!
Well this guy Michael Senoff, weather you like to believe it or not is 'not' out to grab yer money and run like so many other 'so-called' marketing gurus.

Michael, gives and gives and keeps on giving! His audio recordings just tell you the facts, mostly about copywriting and marketing, but the few that aren't, give you a better insight on things like how to get the most out of what you are listening to.

Listening to them in your car on your way to work or when you are doing things like jogging or doing your workout or even doing the housework is the best way I find to get the most out of them, and I really do enjoy them and I've learned so much in such a short time!

Simple to get, simple to listen to or read the transcripts, yes he supplies you with the transcripts also!

Michael Senoff will even send you a 61 hour CD in the post for FREE! Now you can't ask for more than that can you?

If you are at all interested in learning how to make your business or even life more profitable then just check it out, I guarantee that you will be impressed with what you find.

Back from PC Hell!!!!!

2006-02-07T17:15:00.000Z

YES!, Finally, I have returned from the dark depths of PC Hell and let me tell you; It was not nice!
At least I've now got a better PC out of the problem, so that was the good that came out of it. The Bad that came out of it was the fact that I did not BACKUP my files as often as I should have!! That means when my hard drive stopped working I LOST loads of information, stuff that I needed to keep and should have had already backed up on CD or DVD. I want to give www.eBuyer.com a plug because they are the company that had what I needed, when I needed it, at the price I needed, and delivered it before the stated delivery date!!! You can't ask any more than that can you?
So, I've been reinstalling all my software and putting in place new versions of programs that I never got around to doing. One new program I just found and installed is 7-zip and of course it is FREE.
I've also had some good experiences with IrfanView, sounds strange I know, this it what it does... Taken from their "About" page;

OPEN SOURCE seems to be the flavor of the week, this time we look at INKSCAPE.org this is another quality drawing program that goes hand in hand with Open Office and Open Clipart, to give you an extra hand in productivity, this is from thier home page:

"Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format. Supported SVG features include shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, patterns, and grouping. Inkscape also supports Creative Commons meta-data, node editing, layers, complex path operations, bitmap tracing, text-on-path, flowed text, direct XML editing, and more. It imports formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and others and exports PNG as well as multiple vector-based formats.

Inkscape's main goal is to create a powerful and convenient drawing tool fully compliant with XML, SVG, and CSS standards. We also aim to maintain a thriving user and developer community by using open, community-oriented development process, and by making sure Inkcape is easy to learn, to use, and to extend."

Well every once in a blue moon something comes around to "SHAKE-UP" the I.T. world and this is one of those times!
We've been asking for a 3D desktop environment for age and now Java.net has come to the rescue of all us bored desktop users.
The software is called "Looking Glass" and it is absolutely fantastic! If you are at all interested in taking a look into the future, you absolutely must download the Live-CD offered on their website, it is already stored as an ISO file so all you have to do after downloading it is burn it to a CD. Once you got it on a CD, just slide it in and boot from the CD, I was thinking they must have read my mind, it is just how I imagined it to be, but better!!
This is the FUTURE.

Freeware is the way to go...
I found this place today and think if you are looking for more free software without the hassle of tracking it down yourself, then you are at the right place!
We all need to find this type of software from time to time, and we sometimes will need to find a place to show off our talents and this website serves the purpose on both counts.
I like the Flash converters, as many of you know, Flash comes with a huge price-tag and also with almost as big of a learning curve. If you don't have the time or the money to invest then there are some good alternatives.

2005-10-25T20:04:00.000Z

If you are in the market for a good office program, then you should definitely download this software, it's name is OpenOffice. First because it doesn't cost anything, and second, it is an Open Source software. Open Source has the advantage of being constantly under development.
You can get OpenOffice 2.0 from HERE.

Gadgetopia, check it out man!

Gadgetopia:
Here's something that plagues organizations and their Web sites: knowing what information should be published to their readers and having the willingness to publish that information. I don't think a lot of organizations get it.
I just did some work for a group with which I'm involved. Part of the site was a section for "Updates." Despite the fact that I know of at least a half-dozen things that deserved to be published as an update, nothing was ever done. They had an interface with which to update the site, and they could have just sent me an email or a Word document, but the site has remained silent.
As someone who blogs a lot, I guess my threshold for pushing something out onto the Web is a lot lower than other people's. For every organization with which I'm involved, I know in my head what I want to see in terms of news or updates, and I can never understand why no one else sees this too.
I just think there's a "mode" you need to be in regarding blogging or Web publishing. A lot of organizations are still stuck in the "paper newsletter, once a month" mode, whereby they have a publishing cycle and they work towards getting things done for the big burst of info. They're not used to the constant trickle of information that the Web allows.
A lot of potential content for some organizations gets tossed as "too insignificant," since it's not something that would make the print version of the newsletter. And a lot of it gets labeled as such because it's very "on the spot" — it relates to something that's happened very recently or that's happening at the moment — so it doesn't live up to the semi-timeless quality they look for for their periodical communications. Things that would seem out of context three weeks later in the print newsletter are right at home in a time-stamped blog post.
The communication models of these organizations never gets...conversational, like a blog allows. They still seem very one-way, very formal.
Part of me wants to get people in a room, tie them to their seats, tape their eyelids open, and make them look at blogs for 10 hours straight. Perhaps then they start to shift their thinking about the information that they can, and should, push out there. What will it take to get these organizations to understand the new model? And is there a new model, or am I just blathering?
If indeed I'm on the right track with this, then we — meaning the blogging community and especially those who work with business and organizational blogging — need to collectively develop some training materials and resources that get people to understand. I'm wishing for a 30 minute training course or video that would suddenly make people...get it.

Funny...was thinking around the same issue on my site yesterday.
One issue I see is that most people just aren't communicators. Communicators have some special gene that makes that connection from hearing or seeing something, and in the next nano-second thinking "that should go on the website" - blog or otherwise.
I can't count how many times I'll be periphial to a conversation where email addresses are being exchanged to ensure some data gets communicated to a group and I just throw out - "why don't we just put it on the site"? It's like people have a 3rd hand and you're just reminding them to use it...
What's sad is the number of stories that go untold because of this. I'm thinking more about church websites, but even in the business world - if you start talking to folks involved you'll hear some cool stuff that's happened...yet for some reason no one ever thinks to put it out on the web.
I'm not sure this is something that can be taught or trained. I've sure tried...with very limited success.
I think it's time for "reporter" positions in companies and organizations - let's hire someone who "gets it", and charge them with posting things to the web.
