Ok first I have to say that I am sorry for not posting anything real in a while, I am trying to find more time but it seems like every time I sit down to write something I just feel to tiered to do write anything. But I digress, me complaining is not the point of this post, the point is to share three new software programs
which I think are really cool and worth taking a look at. The first is a most for anyone who does a lot on the internet or works in programs that don't have or have poor spell
check systems, its called Tinyspell. Tinyspell is a program that runs in the background all the time
while you are on the computer, any time you type something down it will run it through its dictionary and sound a little beep if you have spelt something wrong. When I say any time you type something I mean any time...if you search something on Google it will check your search...this can get a little annoying when you are typing a lot of Email addresses but the beep is easy to ignore. The second program is called WordWeb. This is a great dictionary/thesaurus. Like Tinyspell this program also runs in the background of your computer and when you highlight a word and plug in the command of your choosing it will pop up with the definition of the word. This is the program that I use any time I want a paper to use bigger words because when it pops up with the definition it also comes up with other words that can be used, that is how I make my papers go from a 6th grade writing level to a 10th grade level. The third and last program I want to highlight is a new web browser that I found. Recently Firefox has been doing some weird things, losing my bookmarks (by the way if anyone has blogs that they would like me to read would you please leave the link in the comments), the screen kept getting shaky, so this prompted me to look for another web browser, the first one to pop out at me was one that I had heard about when it first came out not to long ago called Opera. I have only had it for one day so far but it has definitely caught my attention. There isn't a lot for it yet but that's because there aren't a lot of
programmers using it yet, I think that if and when people start to use it there is the potential for it to over take Firefox and IE. Anyways, those are the programs that I have been
using the most over the last few weeks, if you try one let me know what you think.
