Last year, when the availability of FLV files downloader was widespread, I’ve began collecting these online video files. However, to view them was another matter. I remember going through a few applications, both free and commercial but somehow all didn’t quite cut it. One can’t even “skip” through the movie, meaning when I want to watch a clip, I have to watch it from start to end. No chance to stop and continue at another day.

Good news is I finally found one that is free, fast and most importantly, you can use it to watch an FLV clip just like any other movie. It’s FLVPlayer4Free.

I would recommend this to anyone who’s looking for a freeware windows application to watch all of your FLV files. Go to the website to download it.

Scratching your head and no idea what to give to your significant other tomorrow? Well here’s a poor man’s version of a cute gift - it’s a screensaver of a pug cleaning by licking your monitor screen from the inside. Fortunately the cuteness overwhelmed the grossness.

Well you have to see the video file to really see the cuteness of this pug licking your screen. I think I saw an ad on the tv the other day about these lickers - the other versions include kittens and they’re for mobile phones. But you have to pay for them.

Anyway, this one’s free. You can download the swf file, avi file or the screensaver (altenate link). I suggest you get the screensaver!

Almost everyone has a thumbdrive now and I think it’s safe to say that “thumb drive killed the floppy disk”. Nowadays you can get a 2GB Kingston thumbdrive for RM65 while for a 1GB it’s only RM40, and these prices are in KK, Sabah!

Anyway, what if you accidentally dropped your thumbdrive in public or somebody stole it from you, what kind of data or information that you will lose to some complete strangers? Enough to jeopardize your life or your career?

If you dread the day that you lose your thumbdrive then it’s time to seriously think about securing you data. If I lose my thumbdrive tomorrow or even later, I won’t have to worry as my storage is automatically locked and secured even when someone just snatch it off of the USB slot while I am at the washroom.

So what is this tool that I’m talking about? It’s called “USB Disk Pro” and I accidentally found it on pendrive’s website, while helping my brother searching for some drivers.

This tool is actually made to work for a certain brand of thumb drives but I managed to make it work with mine. However, before I proceed, let me explain how this is supposed to work with the “official” thumbs.

Today I will highlight one of my favourite useful freeware, which is PDFCreator from pdfforge.
I think almost everyone knows what a PDF is but not everyone knows that you can easily create one.

This simple application will allow you to create a PDF document from any windows application. What this app will do is mimic a printer on your system, so when you want to save a document as a PDF, just go to File -> Print and select PDFCreator from the printer drop down list.

If you ever want to see a *really* bad idea portrayed in a 3D image then look no further, I have found one. It’s called 3D Mailbox. The email application aims to “bring life to your email”.

It looks like a normal email client with the exception of a display area at the top, which is the virtual world of emails.

Your emails being checked by a bouncer (spam filter).
