Backloggery!

huge-game-collection

Well I told you I would find something to post about this week so I did. Anyways I thought I’d tell you guys about one of the coolest sites ever called Backloggery. It helps you keep track of all your games for everything you can think of. Once you make your account you can begin adding games to your list. After you have done so you can rate them track your progress or post comments about them to share with other people.

Added: Link to our IRC chat using Mibbit's widget

On the right, under "Chats", you'll notice an addition. You can click the "IRC chat" link and, using Mibbit.com's (new?) widget, you can join the blog's IRC chat. I think it works great, better than any other web client I've seen. As always, you can still join using an actual client by clicking this link.

avast! Home Edition

krabice-home48

I have used many Anti-Virus programs since I’ve been using computers Norton, MacAfee, AVG, and Anti-Vir. The last three I have used have all been free Anti-Vir was awesome but had a really annoying ads. AVG was awesome but one time didn’t catch a virus like it should have so I switched when my long time friend Walter suggested I use avast! I haven’t had any viruses since I’ve switched to it avast always detects threats before I even download infected files and has saved me many times. It’s very easy to turn off when you need to and when it’s on its awesome it tells you with its own voice when it updates and doesn’t have any annoying ads. You have to get a new free license every so many months but its as simple as visiting a website and clicking a button for an email to renew it. I highly recommend avast! to anyone who doesn’t already have an anti-virus program or who wants to switch to a different one.

CDBurnerXP Burning software

cdbxp-about

Most people online burn discs, whether they are on a CD-R or DVD-RW, to backup their files, burn a mix CD, or watch their family movies or slideshows. I’ve been using this program for years and it has yet to fail me. It’s a free program that burns everything that you can think of. It even burns ISOs for your Ubuntu Live CDs or whatever else might be an ISO. It’s great to have freeware when it has such great quality. Anyways, check it out and I’ll be posting more of my favorite programs I use on here!

Tiny Wiimote Projectors


I just saw this on ThinkGeek and thought it was funny. They're little Wiimotes that you press a button and it projects an image onto stuff of Mario and other characters on their karts. I wish I had the money to buy a couple. Maybe I will later if they're still making them.

Pidgin IM!

logo_pidgin

There are so many messengers out there: AIM, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, Google Talk, Groupwise, ICQ, IRC, MSN, MySpaceIM, QQ, SILC, SIMPLE, Sametime, XMPP, Yahoo!, Zephyr, and Facebook. I have friends on many of these different messengers, but who wants to have 7+ different messenger programs? I have 3 on my computer: Windows Live Messenger (main), Pidgin (secondary), and Google Talk (email). Pidgin is awesome for all of your messenger needs. When you just want to chat with someone, or if you're on Linux perhaps, it’s a great way to not have to use so many messengers. I will greet the day happily when all the messengers merge together like email and other things have done in the past. For now, however, I use Pidgin as my little bird messenger friend to help with my needs.
