If you’re a poker player but you find online games and leagues to be too annoying - whether it’s because of their structure or rules - then you’ll enjoy taking a look at PokerDIY. Seriously. Do it yourself poker.
This cool concept allows you to set up your own home poker league. You have to see this to believe it. You can set up and manage a poker league (or two) whether live in your own neighborhood or online. You can send invites out to your friends to get in on the games and PokerDIY sets you up with RSVP tracking and emails. If you need more player outside your circle of friends you can put an ad up to invite more players in. You can also track winnings and see who’s on the leaderboard for your games with the widget you can put on your own blog.
If you don’t feel like setting up your own, maybe you can find a poker group online - including many freeroll leagues. There a lot of options at PokerDIY for poker players who like to do it themselves. Enjoy!
I found a cool download - at least it would be cool if it actually worked on my ratty-assed computer. (No offense, babe. I loves ya!) Take a look:
MakeitOne MP3 Album Maker (allegedly) allows you to (allegedly) join selected MP3 files into a single file that is (allegedly) compatible with any MP3 player and tag editor. The album file is (allegedly) a single, large MP3 file that contains the (alleged) merged tracks. The Album Maker (allegedly) can also (allegedly) unpack any album that was (allegedly) created with the software. (Info shamefully stolen from freesofwaredownload.blogspot.com
MP3 Album Maker is written in C# and requires the DotNet Framework which can be download direct from microsoft.
The parenthetical comments are mine. If you get this to work, let me know what if anything you had to tweak.
Google Inc. will be placing a detection system on one of its advertising programs in an effort to stamp out a practice used to generate income from domain names without paying for them.
If you haven’t tapped into the hot search spot known as “Spock” you’re really missing out on a cool way to find people and things you’re looking for. Spock is not like most search engines in that it doesn’t simply return a dry list of text links.
Say you use a keyword search to look for web design or a web designer. Hit enter and Spock bring up a list of people - with their photos when available - and all of the links associated to each person. It will show you their community links like LinkedIn, MySpace, Twitter and their professional links like their education, affiliations and associations they belong to.
Spock also lets you create widgets of your searches that you can embed in your own pages or blog posts. This adds cool functionality to your site, allowing you to offer information for other searchers. Spock is still in beta but it works without a hitch. It’s definitely not a “bares bones” beta, as you can see from the widget of my search result below:
Spock’s search engine allows you to search people by their names, by tags related to their work or profession, and - this is really cool - by their email address. Try that with Google and see how far you get. You get a document not found message. Once you register with Spock (don’t worry, it’s free and easy) and try the same search you will find what and who you are looking for.
But enough from me. You’ll only get the full flavor of Spock.com by checking it out yourself. You don’t even have to register to do great searches, but once you do you can access even more features. Enjoy your search for a change. You will find what you need - and, dare I say it - “prosper”?
From what I hear, you can never have too much water. While we may be facing more than we need soon if global warming (natural or otherwise) comes about, the Moon and its future inhabitants are a bit short at the moment.
Of course once you get a decent base set up, you can ferry craft off the moon’s surface much easier than from Earth. Go grab an asteroid or two composed mostly of ice and melt it up there. Mmm good.
If you’ve caught the GTD bug (Getting Things Done) you know the importance of setting up a “tickler file” for yourself. Hinx RemindMe might fit the bill for you and it’s a free download. Here’s the rundown:
Hinx RemindMe is software for reminding you of important appointments by popup, sound and email. The appointments, messages, schedules, etc. are stored in file form and can be viewed at later time. Multiple emails are supported. Java and Windows supported.
It seems like there are payday loans available to every subgroup, culture and affiliation possible. So I guess it only makes sense to offer a faith-based option as well.
Christian Faith Financial is a loan matching service that offers a variety of production and solutions for Christians, with quick loans of $200 to $1500 available. I can’t personally vouch for them, but if faith is an important part of your finances, they may be worth a look.
Here’s a cool freeware alternative to the standard post it note programs you can find around the Web:
Stickypaper is a sticky note application that has much more functionality than most of its kind. It enables you to create normal sticky notes as well as pictures, real-time notes with RSS, and just about anything else with its fully scriptable system.
The documentation is in Japanese, but the program is in English. It shouldn’t be too hard to figure out if you have basic familiarity with these type of apps. Also, this application requires GDI+.dll (883 kB). Download Stickypaper and the .dll file here.
I’ve been curious about what’s up with Mercury… revolving around out there with no one watching. Let’s take a look, shall we? So much has changed since 1975.
