Things, you should know, but you can also forget them after reading

Some words to you

, ,

I think, you can imagine, what will come now:

Merry Christmas to everybody and happy new year.
The next year 2010 has hopefully some positive surprises for you, but remember: If something goes bad, another thing will go good.

Animator vs. Animation

Here is such a nice video. It's called Animation vs. Animator and plays in the surroundings of the Windows XP desktop.
You will see a stickman fighting against the human user of the PC.
Enjoy the video,

Chip Advents Calendar: Paragon Partition Manager 10 Personal Edition

At Chip Online, you can get the software Paragon Partition Manager 10 Personal Edition for free.
As you can see in the name, this software makes partition of your hard disk. But that's not everything: You can also something like a first-ai-kit out of your USB-stick, if something goes wrong. So you can start, repair and use your PC, which is a good aspect in my eyes.
Have fun and a nice day,
Jonas92

PS: After clicking on the download-link at the page of Chip Online, you have to choose "Zum Produkt" and after that you click on "Vollversion kaufen". Then you have to register for a new account at Softwareload.de (you will get a mail with a link to activate your account!). In the field with the name "Gutscheincode" you type in "ChipXmasPx9uU5vG".

There are only 25.000 licenses!

Internet Explorer is not anymore the number ONE...

...at least this is in Germany. The payable quarterly (I hope, this is the right word) are public, but in my opinion this is no surprise.
1.) Opera was never a really good browser, if you look to the numbers. All the time, Opera has something between 2-3%, so who wonders that Opera has 2.7%?
2.) Firefox has overtaken Internet Explorer. Are you surprised? Everybody knows that Firefox will overtake Internet Explorer and in Germany, this happens.
3.) The boom of the browser Chrome is over. The reason could be that Chrome is not good at privacy or he has nothing, but speed.

So, how long will it take, until the rest of the world will take Firefox? And: If this happens, will Mozilla be as like as Microsoft? We will se...

Chip Advents Calendar: Everest Ultimate

Today is Tuesday, 1st December and the Chip Online Advents Calendar 2009 started.
The first program for free is "Everest Ultimate". Everest is a program which tests you PC's/notebook's hardware with benchmarks and so on. But that's not everything, you can also look, how high the temperature of your hardware is and so on.
Enjoy the program,

PS: You have to register, to use this program. I give you the hint to make a "one-time-Email-adress", so, if there comes spam and so on, you can delete it.

Blognews: Monday, 30th November

Hello there,
I have made some changes in my blog.
1.) The picture at the top of the page is new. But I don't think, that this is a very good result. I hope I can find some time, to make it better.
2.) I have tried to change the background color, but it doesn't run. So, the next step is to make a put a picture there.
3.) In the sidebar, you will find for now a poll, so if you have some time, you can "fill this out".

See in the next time,

A nice Flash-game

Hi there,
I have found a nice Flash-game on the Internet. The game is called Flow and you play a kind of living being in the water. Your job is it, to eat the other living beings and then go to another plain, to go on. As simple as that...
How to play:
You control the living being with the mouse. That means: The living being is following your mouse cursor, as like as a dog follows something to play. In clicking the left mouse-button, your living being gets faster, but attention: If your creature overtakes your mouse cursor, it starts to swim in a circle.

I like the game, but only for a short while. To me, it is a kind of timeless, but after a while it gets boring, because there are less changes. Enjoy the game,

Your desktop could be cooler, but you can also let it, how it is

,

Click this windows away and have a look onto your desktop. Do you think that your desktop could be even better? Maybe yes and I tell you, how you can get this. But keep in mind, that the system gets slower!

If your desktop looks like this, you should think about deleting some icons. But there is also an alternative: Fences. The idea of this program is simple: You make fields on your desktop, put some files in it and then your desktop could be clearer. You can compare it with a pasture for sheeps.
You think that your desktop in 2D is boring? Then take Bump Top 3D and your desktop has a third dimension. This program can make your desktop look like your desk, you can put pictures on a "wall", make piles with the icons or you can do something senseless: Throwing the icons around. A nice program, especially for Touchscreens.
You want some Apple on your Windows? Take RocketDock and you get a dock. This dock can replace your quick launch, if you want that. But the aspect, I found really good is the possibility to adapt the dock with skins and so on. So fell free for more style.
But often, a simple change of the background can change everything. The advantage is that the PC is as fast as before! Nice sites for wallpapers are in my photo album, deviantART and eWallpapers.

All in all, there are many possibilities for your desktop, but I choose the ones I find best. If you have another program/whatever which you find very important for that, then feel free to post it in a comment.

Two new wallpapers

For now, there are two new wallpapers in the Photo albums. You can also read comments about them in the albums.

The first Advent

Yesterday, I wrote about Christmas, today I write about the first Advent. From today, you have to wait four weeks and then, Christmas is coming.
For now, I have a picture of the Santa Claus (self made). And what do you, to have an atmosphere which tells you that Christmas is coming?
