Go Hyper

Wow, have I got a hot link for you today. Stand back as I announce the unveiling of the “Holiday Hypermart.”

Now you know I’m game for anything that has hyper in its name, but this is uber hyper. Yes, we’re talking the ultimate deals in international travel. (Thus the uber – get it?) The European company offers a heck of lot more than cheap tickets though; they have the line on millions of package bargains, last minute deals, low cost flights and all inclusive holidays that you can book online in second or over the phone in a few minutes.

Imagine the Mediterranean: Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey. The Caribbean. The Red Sea. Egypt and the Red Sea. Or if you’re tired of the heat how about the Lapland at Christmas time?

At the Hypermart you can even make your deals. You’ve worked hard. You deserve it. You’re welcome.

FireStats Update

So far so hot.

Other than the fact it took one million internet years to ftp to my server, FireStats is a huge go. Nothing buggy so far and I’m just looking forward to a few days of information accumulation to proclaim it good.

Favorite Freeware – Audiograbber

Hot! This is one of the best free downloads I’ve found in years. It’s made life with Windows and mp3s – and that sweet Chinese iPod knock-off – a breeze. Now I can listen to my favorite Indie artists just as if they were actually available for purchase somewhere online. (!)

Let’s allow the developer Jackie Franck a few words:

Audiograbber is a beautiful piece of software that grabs digital audio from CDs. It copies the audio digitally-not through the soundcard-which enables you to make perfect copies of the originals. It can even perform a test to see that the copies really are perfect. Audiograbber can also automatically normalize the music, delete silence from the start and/or end of tracks, and send them to a variety or external MP3 encoders… Audiograbber can download and upload disc info from freedb, an Internet compact disc database. You can even record your vinyl LPs or cassette tapes with Audiograbber and make wavs or MP3s of them. There are a lot more functions in Audiograbber, but to put it simply: Audiograbber has the most features one can wish from such a program!

Another great thing with this software is that it does not put a single file in your windows directories! No DLLs, OCXs, device drivers, spyware, adware or whatever else that messes up the computer. Not a single entry in the registry or win.ini. If you delete the Audiograbber directory it’s all gone, that’s it!
