Dear Summer,
Hi there! How’s it going? So yeah, realizing that our time is (once again) coming to an end, I figured i’d write you. Oh how did I know this was the end? Well, earlier I was outside and the weather felt cool yet humid…you know, that feeling of limbo where you don’t know if it was worth bringing a jacket or not. Anyway, I must admit, we had our share of memories. And compared to your previous visits, there where more good than bad.

Welcome to the 7th Babbler, where I try to condense and summarize what has happened in a period of time since my last post with brief and random thoughts usually because I haven’t had the time to blog anything in between. So some of what I say may make sense, some may not. But that’s the premise, all the babble that’s fit to blog! So off we go after the jump: Continue reading →

Welcome to The Plug, where i like to give a review to anything tech and non-tech that i feel needs a shameless plug due to my liking.
This week time, i’d like to dive into a website I crossed by t0day that I felt needed a mention. This website makes the process of choosing programs easier regardless of what OS you happen to be running. Years ago i had an old dell laptop that dual-booted linux and windows xp, but I only got used to linux easier because i did my reserch on finding programs that performed the tasks of normal windows apps (i.e. office, email, media players). Sure it was a long process back then since i had to use multiple google searches, but not only did i find good equivalents, they where free too! Later on in college (still using google searching), i had to find alternative apps for all of my windows programs before i migrated to the Mac, but now present-day migrators have an easier way to search for just about any platform.
Presenting AlternativeTo, a site where you and a whole bunch of other users submit what applications need replacing and AltTo will give you suggestions on great alternatives. This is excellent for users migrating between OS’s, or just finding a better alternative to an app they dislike (its expensive, its slow, it just sucks). And the best thing? It’s community-maintained…so information’s likely to stay fresh and updated.
