Windows Must-have Apps

Jun 22

The Windows (2000/XP/Vista/7) interface is well established and pretty much usable, for the most part.  It offers a good platform upon which to accomplish tasks quickly and easily without too much time wasted, but that isn’t to say that it can’t be improved upon.  There are certain areas that, for some reason or another, leave the user wanting more.
Thankfully, there are individuals and companies out there that are clever and willing enough to extend the functionality of the Windows interface to make things even better for the rest of us.

Below are just a few of the applications I simply would hate to do without…  in fact, I wonder how I lived without them in the first place.  :unsure:

Oh, by the moons of Jupiter!!!

Jun 13

Well, after I dunno how many years now… -5, I think- I’ve finally found some backups of my earlier skinning work which I thought was lost for all eternity. :O

It’s unbelievable that after all this time they should resurface, as I’d given them up as lost forever (although I still have the crashed drive that I hope to somehow be able to restore when I can afford it), and it was all thanks to my little bro’s curiosity and looking through a bunch of CDs I unknowingly left at my dad’s house.

So I’ll be posting up additional icon packs from the Novacons series, and some others. Unfortunately, the photoGraphic Folder icons artwork was not recovered in this batch, but you never know, it might just turn up again. ;P

Stay tuned for the icon packs. :yay:

Star Wars Digi*Cons

May 28

As it’s been a while since I’ve posted, here’s an update with a bonus. :thumbsup:

Continuing in the legacy of the Digi*Cons —a set of smilies designed and created by BebiBulma :bebi: and I :digitalchet: for the Wincustomize :winky: website— I present to you a new set based on some of the characters of the fantastic Star Wars series.

Making their new “Digi*Conic” debuts are:

  • the infamous Darth Vader :vader: ,
  • the loveable R2-D2 :r2d2:
  • along with his comedic side-kick C3-P0 :c3p0: ,
  • the ancient and wise Yoda :yoda: ,
  • the fierce Chewbacca :chewie: ,
  • and a lone Stormtrooper :storm: .

Star Wars Digi*Cons

More may follow in the future… as time allows, but in the meantime these are available for use in the comments below and downloadable for your sites as a pack here.

Enjoy!

Quick update…

Mar 14

Well, just a quick note to say that I’ve pretty much finalized my move with only a few things left to unpack.  My computer and electronics are all set up and rearing to go but I’m now just waiting for the telcos to work their crap out and get me connected.  iiNet, my new provider, would have done it sooner if it weren’t for Telstra’s arcane and draconic connection processes.  Thank a lot ‘Hellstra’.  :angry:

As a result,  I’m scheduled to be online as of the 23rd of this month.  :(
I also decided to change providers.  Internode was ok, but iiNet offered a better deal right now.  I’m going to be getting Naked ADSL2 + VoIP so I won’t be paying line rental charges, and all for the same price I was paying with ‘Node.  They also offer a higher off-peak download cap, which is always a good thing.

So until then I’m borrowing my dad’s net when I get the chance and at work during the week.

So that’s it for now.  I’ll try post up some pics of my new home when I get a chance this week, but until then, y’all take care now, y’hear?

Also, feel free to leave your mark on my site and sign my Guestbook8)

Peace out.  :digitalchet:

Relocating HQ…

Feb 25

If you don’t see me online a lot these next couple of weeks, it’s because I’m currently in the process of moving into my new digs.

I’ve put my belongings (including my computers :S ) into storage while I await the hand-over of keys on the 4th of March, then the arduous process of actually moving my stuff in and setting up the place.  Of course my PC will be the first thing I set up but I don’t know that I’ll have any net access straight away, at least until the relocating process goes through.
In the meantime I’m sojourning at my dad’s place:  enjoying the cuisine, spending time with my little brothers, and whiling away the few spare hours I get watching Cartoon Network. ;P It’s not too bad at all, but it would probably be a lot more enjoyable if I didn’t have to work. :whistle:

So, until I move in and get set up properly there may not be any major postings here, though I may still keep up with my twittering as I’m able.
Once I’m in and settled I’ll also post up some pics —maybe even do some before and after shots.  We’ll see.

Until then, take care, keep up with my tweets, and check out the following useful (and fun) web finds after the jump.
