Gerald's Blog

...um. Sorry. I guess.

Well we are offically moved in. I have FULL working internet connection (Even if it is Dial-up). So expect me to be posting more othen now. Anyways. I have tried multiple blog hosting sites but this was the only one I liked. Mostly because its not mainstream like many other companys like WordPress, Blogger, or LiveJournal.

The Best of the "Net" (August '08)

Alot of people use the internet just to get information or watch YouTube videos. But what some people do not know is that the internet has plenty of games, "Fun" stuff, and services.

Best Online Game Sites-

NotDoppler.com provides ONLY great games and is updated every Thursday.

FreeOnlineGames.com is exactly what it is called. It gives you MANY games and ALOT of downloadable games.

Kongregate.com provides awards for doing certain things in the games they have. This is revolutionary site.

Best web services-

HippoPost.com gives you FREE postcards. I use this service regularly. You get to send 2 free postcards daily.

Picnik.com gives you full picture editting POWER!!! No Registration. Upload a photo and get started. You can crop, rotate, sharpen your pictures online for free.

SearchMe.com is the best search engine ever made. Say Good-bye to boring text based results (Like google and yahoo) and replace it with a complete visual layout of all the results of your search.

TinyURL.com lets you create small URLs out of super LONG URLs. So if you entered http://www.ask.com/web?q=Dogs&o=101483&l=dis it would be http://tinyurl.com/69gxsb

Best of Fun Sites-

HuLu.com lets you watch your favorite T.V. shows ONLINE for FREE! It has very little comercials.

CarbonRally.com lets you take challenges to help the enviroment but does it in a fun and exciting way.

WikiHow.com is a great site to learn how to do something new.

If you disaggre with something just comment about it.

Portable Applications

I have a U3 Cruzer Flash Drive (also known as a Pen Drive.) and I am capable of running programs such as FireFox, Opera, OperaTor, EssentialPIM, uTorrent, just to name a few.
I am using Lupo PenSuite. Lupo Pensuite (Full Edition) comes with many useful applications.
It includes 2 web browsers. FireFox and Opera. 2 email clients. ThunderBird and unPOPuk.
2 instant messengers. Miranda and PixaMSN. Lupo is fully customize-able. It has 6 or 7 themes. Thats is just the start of everything. You can also add apps from PortableApps.com and PortableFreeware.com.

Opera web browser

Opera is a wonderful web browser. It has an intergrated email inbox. Think of it as Outlook mixed with FireFox or Internet Explorer. There are many things that make this browser great. But one that sets it aside from the rest is its "Speed Dial" page. When you open a tab on most browsers it displays a nothing or your search engine. When you open a tab in Opera it takes you to your custom "Speed Dial" page that shows pictures of your favorite sites and links to them. Adding a new link to your "speed dial" page is a easy as opening one. This web browser has a huge community that is constantly adding to exstentions or add-ons and games for you play on your browser online or off. It also has a built in Bittorrent software. www.opera.com

Look at all the new smilies I can use.
