Gracey

Specifically Software

I’ve done a few updates to this previous journal that lists some new software (well, not necessarily new software, just new to the list).

At the very bottom of the page is a listing for a site that offers one “licensed software” for free every day – be sure to look for it, and mark the site to your faves. Then go everyday and check it.

Under Fractal Generating programs is “Fyre” – not really a fractal program, but pretty darn close; it generates sine-like random images. It’s pretty cool.

Under Graphics is one called “Ivy Generator” – it’s not really a graphics program either, but what it does is one thing – it generates random ivy that looks fairly realistic. Pretty good for those who do image collage work.

There’s some useful additions under Utilities for those who aren’t that tech savvy, and a couple for those who are.

There’s a section for Office software – the well known open office is listed, as well as a not so well known program called Floppy Office – the whole set (a dozen apps) will run from a floppy disc, a thumb drive or your computer. Small download (the zip file is 1.9mb!) makes it useful for dial-up users – it also has a very easy ftp client included.

A new section for computer security programs – includes antivirus, antimalware, anti-everything :D Almost all of the listings are programs I use & trust, or have used in the past. (doesn’t include firewalls but there’s a link to a page that does)

There’s also two links for removal of “VIRUS ALERT” and “ANTIVIRUS XP 2009 (or 2009) – there’s been a lot of that going around lately.

A couple of site links in this security section as well that will be most helpful to those who need information on computer clean up and safety.
