OK, so the nerd in me is surfacing again. I am one of those sad people that gets really annoyed if my taskbar icons (those icons representing open programs that you click on to switch to that program) are in a strange order because that is how you happened to open them up. You would think that Microsoft would give you a way to rearrange these, but they don’t ! Step up Taskbar Shuffle – this little app does nothing more than allow you to drag and drop your icons around your takbar – invaluable to someone like me ! Incidentally, for those wanting this at work, you can point the install to any directory (personal network drive, temp directory, wherever) and it doesn’t need to install any system files.
A working reverse dictionary is one of the most useful sites out there. We’ve all had those moments when we know there’s a word for some concept, but we don’t know what it is. We need something more than a thesaurus, because we don’t know an equivalent word. Onelook.com‘s reverse dictionary helps. You can even enter wildcards, if you know what part of the word looks like.
In one of the stranger websites I have been to recently, you can answer that question that has always been bothering you – if I dig a very deep hole, where will I end up ? Go here and you can select anywhere on the map (you can zoom in and drag that map around to get to where you want to dig) and it will show you exactly where you would end up. Now isn’t that what you have always wanted ?!?
I love this – if you are a fan of Star Wars (which, incidentally, I’m not), you can now see it in your browser window. Go to http://www.asciimation.co.nz/index.php# and you can see a rather different version – in ASCII (that’s those pictures made up of letters and numbers – very ’80′s).
You may not sit through the whole thing, but you have to admit – it’s very clever.
OK, so it’s been a while since I last posted, but I’m back and running again !
This is something too good not to post. For anyone out there keen on shooting birds, this is an absolute must. Take a look at Season Shot. This is basically seasoning in a shotgun cartridge, so you effectively season the bird by shooting it. Fantastic – no more removing shot and your bird come pre-seasoned. It doesn’t get better than this !
I spend a large amount of time on the net and have a huge number of bookmarks (anyone who has seen my bookmarks file will vouch for this !), but if I was asked for the most useful site that I know, I would definitely say it was http://www.moneysavingexpert.com. This is only really useful for UK readers (not so much use for US readers), but if you are in the UK, I guarantee that you will save yourself some serious money by visiting the site.
It is split into sections (e.g. Credit Cards, Shopping, Savings & Investments, Travel, Phones & Utilities, etc.) and has lots of articles written by Martyn Lewis (the MoneySavingExpert guru) all designed to save you money. There is also a chat forum which is invaluable – almost as important as the articles. Take a look around the forums and you will find tons of imformation. You can also ask questions from other savers and help out others if you can – it is very interactive.
I have personally saved lots of money by looking at this site and it is the first place I go to before making any kind of financial decision (buying something, subscribing to something, changing electricity/gas/phone provider, etc.).
I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Really cool little game – very simple, but very infuriating ! Basically, them aim is simply to get to the goal by moving your mouse. However to thwart you in doing this the actions of your mouse have been reversed – up is down and down is up, left is right and right is left. Sounds easy, but can get very challenging.
