An Open Diary Of A Narcisstic Creature

Well one of my friend asked me this question before. And this is what i’ve told her: Most of ‘em are completely junk. I spend 30 % of my computer’s memory  for my music files, 3% for  photos, 5% video, *cough* 105%  *cough* for porn*cough*, 60% for movies in .avi extension, and approximately 0.000001%  for school works. (Which is quite ironic because i bought my laptop in the first place for my school works).

The rest of the computer memories (i dunno how many percent left… i’m bad at math lately) are dedicated to the freewares. Anyway, I notice that my blog is lack of essence lately. So, i’ve decided to contribute something to the world by listing my favourite freewares…the good one that is….

Anyhow, In case you were wondering what kind of cool, efficient, and reliable freewares to download, i’ll help you to find one!

1. MySecretFolder^™

This freeware is practically anything that i need. Got a porn to hide? Or a secret document that is dedicated for your eyes only but is saved on a shared computer? Then this software is practically made for you. I’m not sure if it’s still a freeware though.

Anyway, it works like a charm. It would hide your private folder from other users. And yes, it does its job really well that nobody would even suspects that your secret folder exists! Just use the “hot key” to make your private document appear and put up some password to access it.

I’ve been using this program for years and i got my Mom’s trust that i’m a good guy ever since. Trust me, we both couldn’t be happier than this.

2. Freezer

sure there is no free lunch, but there’s a lot of cool freewares out there. Ever wanting to download this new hit songs (MP3 format) in the song sharing sites such as imeem, jiwa.fm, or Deezer but dont wanna spend any penny for downloading those songs? Well now its history. Freezer deactivates the anti-leeching programs that the sites mentioned above used. 

I love free stuff. So why bother buying a song in itunes when you can get the same song in the same quality? This is a must have software for all stingy people out there. And oh yeah as a closing speech for this software…please support the anti-piracy program. 

3. limewire

i dont think i have to mention this right?

But in case you never heard of it or if you are still living in a stone age le’mme introduce this software to you. Limewire is probably the most hated peer-to-peer program by all software producers. It let’s you to almost download anything that you could think of but here’s the catch…. the newest version of limewire now comes with a bunch of spyware. enjoy =)

4. TuneUp Utilites 2009

I would definitely recommend everyone to install this program. This software would do every dirty works for you, including: defragmenting your files, clean up useless data that fills up your memory, increasing your computer performance, and plus my personal favourite, it lets you custimize the log-on screen saver.

Also, This flawless program works well in vista. Oh yeah, i forgot to mention it’s not a freeware. But, you can try downloading it in demonoid.com

5. BuddyCheck

Okay, this is also not a freeware… but you can have a trial version of this software for 10 days. Okay… let’s see what makes this software worth $19.95

According to this website (okay, stop whining i’ll provide you a link: http://www.nuotex.com/buddycheck/index.php ) They claim that this software is able to detect if your friend is online eventhough he/she set it as invisible.

Yes, i know what you’re thinking. This software is pretty handy when you wanted to know if a particular person is trying to avoid you or trying to hide from you. (Yes, Chris i know that’s YOU)

6. Youtube Grabber

Youtube Grabber is the most easiest, handiest, and fastest application to download youtube videos. Do i need to say more? Just grab this freeware right now. 

7. TubeMaster Plus

Too good to be true. This tool is a combo of YouTube Grabber and Freezer, plus it it can convert your downloaded files in several formats. The only downside of having this software is NOT having it.

8. Can You Run It?

Not exactly a freeware or software either. But i gave you a rough picture on how this thing works. First, you have to be online on this site/program/whatever that is.

(again, here is the link: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest) and then it will offer its service by giving you a list of games that you would like to install on your computer. By now, i guess you have an idea what this thing is all about. Can you Run it? is a kind of site that will compare your PC specs with your intended game to play system requirements. It gives you a complete analysis and tells you if your computer is compatible with the game you are interested in.

Since this thing just use none or a little memory on your computer, just try it out while you’re still online.

9. hidemyass.com and cantbustme.com

Again, I know its not a freeware or a software. They are obviously websites link, but i just couldn’t resist to put it up on my list.

Can’t access Friendster or Myspace or any other sites that are blocked by your ISP or your company’s or school’s firewall? Well AUPians worry no more. The following websites would help you to surf this forbidden pleasure. mwahahahaha (Well, actually any other proxy service sites will do, but the following websites are the finest that i could find)

10. Pismo File Mount

I considered myself in the rank of the pathetic and inadequate gamer or noob in the gamer’s world. but still, that doesn’t hinder me to occassionally played a large file game.

Remember those games that come with a large files? They usually comes in a .iso extension instead of .zip. There are sometimes a necessity to create a virtual drive to install this kind of extension.

Professional gamers (if there such a term) are well acquinted with using Daemon Tool, PowerISO/MagicISO, or Alcohol software to mount this .iso extension. But little did they know that there is a more efficient software to mount those extension.

Here is where Pismo comes in. I don’t want to spill the details though… you have to find it out yourself as this kind of software is kin’da subjective from person to person.

Whew… that’s quite a lengthy article that i wrote today. I think i would never write another freeware review like this one. So enjoy it while i’m still in my sane mind. More random articles will come next…
