Fri 19th May, 2006 - Windows Freeware
These are apps I use everyday and the best thing is that they’re free, here’s a list with links, enjoy.
Visual Task Tips - This small piece of software gives you a preview image of windows in the taskbar to give it a Vista look. Remember to restart your computer after installation.
Ccleaner - Crap Cleaner, this is an all in one utility removes all the crap from Internet Explorer and Firefox, cleans the registry, allows you to remove stuff from windows startup, and also uninstall applications.
BitComet - In my opinion the best bittorrent client, written in C++ (makes it really fast.) What really distinguishes this app is that it features disk caching, so when those downloads are coming into your disk you don’t thrash it.
Bloodshed Dev-C++ - For all you programmers out there who don’t have the money or the time to deal with Windows .NET, this is the tool for you. It’s free and includes all the features you need to write those C++ programs.
PDF-Creator - Need to create a PDF, this the app, it allows you to save files to PDF and you can select the quality and the type of PDF you want to create.
JDiskReport - Don’t know where all that sapce in your disk is going to, this app allows you to view how disk space is distributed in a graphical form.
MP3Tag - This tool allows you add mp3 tags really fast, it allows you to edit a bunch of mp3’s in one sitting.
Tight VNC - When you need to control your home computer remotely through any browser with Java support. This basically allows you to control the computer like if you were sitting in front of it.
VideoLAN Player - The ultimate video player, if you can’t play it with videolan you can’t play it with anything (well that’s not exactly true, but this player can take almost anything you throw at it)
FoxIT PDF reader - Don’t wanna install adobe reader couse it sucks, install foxit, like they describe it in their website: small, fast, clean and free.
Screamer Radio - freeware Internet Radio player, plus recorder. It organizes recorded music by folder. It allows you to record continuously or splitted by song. I use it everyday to record all that awesome jazz music from SKY.fm.
7zip - At first I downloaded this utility cause I needed something to unzip rar’s, but then I started using the 7-z format which has great compression. I also use it for unziping pretty much everthing including zips cause it’s fast, really fast. (Right now the website is unavailable, but do a google search and I’m sure you’ll find it elsewhere)
Democracy Player - This app allows you to download all those free internet video podcasts (podcasts, video blogs, and BitTorrent feeds.) You subscribe to the one’s you like and the program takes care of the downloading. This written in python (kinda slow) you may need a powerfull computer to make the app run smoothly. It features a very mac like interface.
Well that’s it, next time I’ll be posting a blog entry of my favorite mac freeware.
I don’t think “splitted” is a word.
