Welcome

 

Welcome to my site we are under construction at this time. I have about 3000 files to upload and index in the Downloads section and about 25 articles to update and post. This site is not my day job, but just a hobby so I hope to never actually finish I see new manuals to download, new software to link and ideas for new articles come to mind a couple times a day. I had thought to keep the front end closed for another mouth while I got more content up and made it look more like a site and less like the Joomla shell it is. Please join the site if you are not a bot and if I refuse your membership because I think you are a bot drop me a email and I will let you in.

If you find anything of use please tell five people this site runs on word of mouth. All reviews of anything will be plainly marked as to ether the products were supplied by the manufacture or publisher, available for free or If I bought them for my personal use.

 

If you want to contribute to the site feel free just contact me first (other than forum post). I will not limit the file downloads until it gets to be a problem(I said 10 a day how about you can have as many as I do in a week? No then it would just be another thing to update.

2011 best of the web

This year was a bit slim on great web innovations or new services so some of this list is the same as before, that in it’s self says a lot being the amount of advance seen over the past year and most of the list was here last year or before.  These quality products were either ahead of their time or been innovative in keeping their edge.  So with that said here we go in no particular order..

  • Gmail.  OK no surprise it has been on the list for the last three years, Gmail is still the best email service money can’t buy.  Nearly everything you would ever want in an email provider for free.  Still the industry leader in spam filtering, configurable and the ability to forward other accounts through Gmail fro spam scrubbing. Generous storage space and integration into the rest of the Googlespiere.
  • Windows Live.  MS Office for free and 25 GB of online storage OK you have to use Office as a web app but this is a great service and integrates well with the larger versions of current MS Office applications installed locally.  There are other on line free productivity suites available and another is on this list but for integration into an MS Office environment this is the best.
  • Google+. Contrary to popular belief's I do not hate all social networking sites only the bad ones.  Some of Google+’s appeal may well be that it is number 2 and not as crowded as Facebook.  However I believe that Google has a better understanding of people and privacy than Facebook, and that Google has a reputation of acting responsibly or at least not maliciously know their business model and with many of their competitors in the social scene you are not sure where or what the bottom line is and what feeds it.  Google+’s melding of Facebook and Twitter Plays to the strength of each service and leaves room for truly innovative features to be added.  
  • Google Docs.  The second cloud based productivity suite for today.  Google Docs is light and fast with simple and powerful controls, Where Windows Live Office has the look and feel of MS Office in a browser.  Google Docs supports MS Office file formats, OpenOffice file format as well as downloading as .pdf.  I find Google Docs to be an excellent choice for normal everyday work though it may lack some of the advanced features of Windows Live Office.


A quick note on BitCoin it almost made the list however until it catches on a bit more and it becomes apparent how it will be received legally and with merchants I am a holding judgment.  Maybe ext year.

2011 Dogs of the Web

Well it is time for me do the end of year list thing this is the Dogs of the web list or the worst websites, services or concepts on the web.  This time I am not going to list the worst of the worst just put them in on great big stinking pile of shit, here it goes.

  • AOL, Another Online Looser, back in the day in rural areas AOL was the shit; OK the only way to connect to the web and now they have switched to trying to be a content company.  Lets look at their services Email is awful, they have a IM program and is that page a portal.  If you have a brain that has not changed after some accident in the 1990’s you may find comfort in last decades Internet but who cares.  Yes I know they have changed since 1993 but it is too little change and being the gimpy kid i the track meet only gets you pity points as long as you try hard and it looks like AOL stopped years ago.  Putting one of the worse liberal hacks ever in charge of their media and content is a huge mistake now nothing associated wit AOL can be trusted to not carry the bias of the Central European scorned ex trophy wife from hell. I can say the bitch carries a grudge.
  • Facebook, wow what can I say I wish I owned it, and that might be part of the reason I hate it so much, but even with my dislike of the life wasting shit it still has some major problems.  OK a little site to check up on people and to see if they may be available is how it all started and look at what it has grown into.  Still when on facebook I can not help to realize how little there actually is there and what a huge waste of time it is.  Yes hearing people posting stuff about their selves they should never make public is amusing for about five seconds after that it all boils down to “Tom “Likes” the fact that Mary is an idiot and accidental showed the world photos of herself doing something that will cost her her job ad relationship.  Now I think i need to play a farming game the excitement.  All this makes me question the mental capability of Facebook users and I have drawn some not to flattering conclusions on that one.  then there is a total don’t get it attitude of the management of the site, this rant like my Facebook account is done and history.
  • Brochure on glass service websites like Quicken and 1 & 1 MyWebsite.  IF this is your idea of a website go back to Facebook and spend your time.  If I wanted no current information and a design I have seen for years I have the yellow pages and I can find your businesses there easier.  Isn’t it good for business when your website proves to the viewer that you are a half asses idiot.
  • Buy a bid auction sites.  There are some things that must not be illegal because sensible people believe that no one would be dumb enough to get caught up in it.  Never bet against the stupidity of your fellow man or you will be the one causing the next guy to be against the stupidity of people to loose their money.  It is nothing but a cakewalk game.  With any scam or con look at what they are selling they are not selling the iPad, laptop, car or what ever you are bidding on they are selling the bids and can you set you own bid price ? usually not you bid 1 cent more that the last rube to place a bit.  get it? If not contact me I have tons or great business and investment opportunities.
  • File Sharing.I got me some of that free music and movies in that there Internet Machine.  Well I almost want to make all the music and movies in the world available for free just to get back at the MPPA and RIIA but yes file sharing is even more stupid than theses ass wholes.  There are laws it is illegal and the industries trying to maintain their hold on entertainment with their predatory unfair early 1900’s business model only get stronger the more you stick it to them by ripping off something they actually own.  The best you can get is a poor quality rip of some movie or song, possibly a lawsuit you can never win, and a good chance you will get a virus or Trojan.


So if you were planning to work on your new easy to make website, read you AOL mail while downloading the latest Twilight movie while watching your penny ante bids on an iPad, tell everyone about it on Facebook and have a great Christmas.  Suggestion on your new-years resolution is “Give up all technology back to before running water.
