Online applications to make you more productive this holiday season!

As the holiday winter break fast approaches, you are no doubt curious about how to improve your productivity at work with what time you have left. Never fear - Josh’s list of online apps is here with free features to delight and amaze.

These days the number of great free web applications is truly amazing.

I want to share with you some free tools that will let you store files, backup your computer, send huge files to people, and give you secure remote access to your computer.

No doubt you have a gmail.com account - no longer is it restricted to be used for email.

Now that Google has increased the available space from 2gbs to 5gbs (enough for a DVD) it is big enough that you can use it as a hard drive to store files.

The easiest way to do this is to use the Firefox (www.firefox.com) web browser, and install an addon called gspace - available from http://www.getgspace.com/. This will give you a web interface to upload and download files to your free gmail space. It’s free, and works on Macs and Windows.

This is good for big project files you want to take home (and can’t find your usb key) - but not a good way for daily backup. To handle daily backup of your key files - which should be less than 2GBs - there is mozy.com - to sign up click here - https://mozy.com/?ref=9HAZY1 to get an extra 256MBs of backup space. Mozy installs itself on your computer and lets you select a private key to encrypt your data and which files to back up. That’s it. Of course when disaster strikes and you need to restore you have several ways to do it. It’s free and works on Macs and Windows.

We have looked at storing big files in gmail, backing up your computer, now let’s look at emailing big files. These days file sizes are getting bigger, and we still need to share them with other people. However, network administratos frown on sending large attachments through email, as it slows down everyones email, and uses up valuable email server disk space. So what can you do?

Use www.sendthisfile.com! Another free service, it allows you to upload files of any size, as an email attachment in their system. You then specify the subject, body, and the recipients and the servce then sends the emails with a link to download the files. Fast free and painless. Because it’s web based it is completely cross platform, running on Macs and Windows.

Finally - have you heard about www.logmein.com? The free remote access solution to your computer? Have you ever needed a way to get to your computer at home from work? or to your work computer from home? Need something that punches through even the toughest of firewalls? (I know a dubious feature - but logmein.com is very secure.) Then you need to check out www.logmein.com. Note - even though you sign up for the free version, they still sign you up for the paid version. To correct this be sure to update your subscription preference to free and you will be able to keep using the product for years to come.

Hopefully - this list of free web goodness will put a smile on your face, and some cheer in your heart, just in time for the season of giving!

What's the game?

King panda's adventure
The journey to bring peace and prosperity to the kingdom
The battle against the evil storm trooper republic
The triumph of truth over torture
The sinkin of the great ship
How I became king
The republic against the rebels that use the force
King panda and the secret police
King panda and the money cartel

What is money good for

What is money good for
What is religion good for

Give up your life
And work for me
And I will give you a million dollars

Or

Give up your life
And work for me
And I will give you heaven

How many miles to babylon?

What I know to be true, is that humans, like angels and spirits are able
to travel through multiple worlds. Humans, by and large, are unaware of
it. We are too busy brushing our teeth, or forgetting to take out the
garbage until the last minute, to notice that when we have entered
another world.

Some humans are better able to sense the boundaries of worlds, and fewer
still can see the doors. Some can travel when they are asleep, and some
when they are awake.

I can see the doors, when I dream and when I am awake. I can see the
possibilities of the worlds ripple around me, bits and pieces of many
different worlds poking into this one, just as this one pokes into
theirs.

I learned many bitter lessons when I was a child that the doors between
worlds close behind you and you can't go back through the one you came
through.

I learned as a boy to try every door to see if I can go back, and I have
found a few. When I was younger, I wrote them down, I memorized them, I
carried the book and mapped my progress so I could always get back to
where I was before. I didn't want to be trapped, I needed away to
escape.

And now, I don't travel. The doors are there, but though there are
probably infinite worlds, each is filled suffering and death, and
brother killing brother.

I have looked and looked and looked. There is no way back to the
garden.

And the knowledge of this has become a heavy fist around my intestines.

Sales lessons learned from Sybil [sic]

1. Show up when called
2. Be ready to show the best selling products you have to sell
3. Wrap what you are selling nicely - put it on a pedestal
4. Have a catalog with pictures of other things you sell
5. Have an order form ready to take an order
6. Accomodate the client - even if it means going out of your way
7. When it comes time for money, give some features for free other
people want
8. Then include 1 feature the buyer wants for free

Missing
- catalog
- product bundles
- features we can promo
- shared hosting vs virtual

Where am I today?

Heart - can't be fooled. Still sad. No matter the toys, or sacrifices,
it is implacable. I can't distract it. Not with sex, dreams, or food.

I know what you are going to say.

I have sad myself already, for years and years, but the crying won't
stop.

Mind - planning makes process improvement at Neo code proceed.
I have 2 board games, and a keyboard concept to patent.

Richard III - Bamburgh Castle

http://www.richard111.com/bamburgh1.htm

What am I hoping and wishing for?

What am I hoping and wishing for?

I want my self respect
I want to like myself
I want to like what I do
And know I am doing the right thing

I don't want to be angry
I don't want to be a monster
I don't want to yell and scream

I don't want you to be angry at me
I don't want you to be a monster
I don't want you to yell and scream at me

Even though bad things happen
I still believe in happiness

I don't want to be your curse
If I can't be your hero, I don't want anything

I would rather be lonely
And have my liberty
And my sense of self respect

Then trade those things
For money and misery
