This is another website that lets you send or share big files easily. Maybe you have a big file you want to send to a friend, this can be frustrating to send over instant messenger as sometimes it times out or fails and you have to start all over again and hope for the best. As for emailing it, some emails don’t accept files over a certain size or your friend’s inbox might not have space for it.Thats where sites such as SendSpace can come in very handy. You simply go to the SendSpace website and upload your file, it can be up to 300mb, which is pretty generous. You can even add a short note/description to the file, then you have the option to enter your friends email address and it sends them a link that they can download the file from!

You don’t even have to register or anything to use this service.

Check it out at the sendspace website for more info or to try it out!

Bluebottle Freemail is the free version of the paid service, but you still get a lot of the cool features. You get a Spam Free Email, what they call “Trusted Delivery Anti-Spoofing” which filters out spam, access via webmail, POP3, and smtp, around 250Mb of storage and up to 10 Mb worth of attachments.

For a mere $9.95 you can sign up for virus checking and bigger limits, and for $24.95 you can go top of the line with 1Gb of storage, phone support and 30Mb file sizes. All sounds very nice, and I love the interface. Try the free opne for a while and see how you go.

Here’s one more web-based service that you can find useful. It’s called My ip-address & location and (yes, you’re totally right) it does exactly what the developers says. For those of you who still don’t get it let me explain… Just a bit 🙂

It is a web service that will automatically look up your IP address automatically, and locate your (means yours computers) current location by using Google Maps. Well, sometimes it didn’t trace you to your home PC showing just the location of your ISP, or the node of your ISP that you connect to. Can you look up other IP addresses? Yes, definitely.

Just try it. It’s even fun (for just a bit though).

CMS stands for content management system, a popular way to run a website. By setting up and using a CMS system as your website you can easily run a pretty interactive site. It allows you to have forums, download areas, news, reviews, and much more if you add block and modules.

This site i’m reviewing allows you to test out many different kinds of CMS software without having to go the long way of installing them on your webspace and trying them out. It has them all installed already and has a username and password for each demo so you can mess around and experiment with them all you want!

It resets every 2 hours, more than enough time for you to know if a particular CMS is suitable for you or not. You can do all this right over at the website right here!

A very useful site for anyone into this kind of thing and of course, being Open Source, they are all free! Just be prepared to have a lot of free time if you decide to use one, because setting them up just how you want them can take some time!

Here is one more file sharing/hosting/storing site for your pleasure. This one’s called DivShare. Let’s take a peek inside!

Well, this one mostly like others: it offers unlimited uploads and downloads, there are no waiting lines for files, auto image galleries, no popups or spam, easy to use dashboard, and all files stay online forever.

Download/upload speed is good (well, this one you should check for yourself, really). Like other services (for ex. Rapidshare.de) DivShare won’t let you upload files larger than 100 MB.

Ps: you can use this service without any registration, but i’d recommend you to. Cause it’s totally free and it’ll take about 3-4 minutes of your time.

Tibia is a free online RPG (Role Playing Game). You can join guilds, kill monsters, cast spells, make friends and enemies, and generally have a fun time. Ok, I’ve seen better graphics, but at least it’ll run well on low end systems. Some people like the old “Super Nintendo” type graphics anyway.

Gameplay in Tibia is simple, you start out on Rookguard, you go around, kill stuff, etc. Left click to move, right click to use (or bring up a menu with the new controls), pretty basic stuff. Talking is achieved by just typing, there’s no windows you have to select, just type your sentence then press enter. Skills are achieved by doing the particular action.

You want shielding? Equip a shield and get hit. Like swords? Equip one and watch your sword skill grow as you kill more monsters. It’s very simplistic, so you get the idea. This game would appeal most to fans of old school games that were similar to this, except this is online and you can interact with other nerds! : )
