Taskbar shuffle

OK, so the nerd in me is surfacing again. I am one of those sad people that gets really annoyed if my taskbar icons (those icons representing open programs that you click on to switch to that program) are in a strange order because that is how you happened to open them up. You would think that Microsoft would give you a way to rearrange these, but they don't ! Step up Taskbar Shuffle - this little app does nothing more than allow you to drag and drop your icons around your takbar - invaluable to someone like me ! Incidentally, for those wanting this at work, you can point the install to any directory (personal network drive, temp directory, wherever) and it doesn't need to install any system files.

Latest TV shows online

Bleenks is a website that has loads of TV shows that you can watch online. We're not talking about 1981 episodes of Dallas - these are all the latest shows - 24, Desperate Housewives, Lost, etc.

Well worth checking out.

Reverse dictionary

A working reverse dictionary is one of the most useful sites out there. We've all had those moments when we know there's a word for some concept, but we don't know what it is. We need something more than a thesaurus, because we don't know an equivalent word. Onelook.com's reverse dictionary helps. You can even enter wildcards, if you know what part of the word looks like.

If you dig a very deep hole...............

In one of the stranger websites I have been to recently, you can answer that question that has always been bothering you - if I dig a very deep hole, where will I end up ? Go here and you can select anywhere on the map (you can zoom in and drag that map around to get to where you want to dig) and it will show you exactly where you would end up. Now isn't that what you have always wanted ?!?

Star Wars in your browser (sort of)

I love this - if you are a fan of Star Wars (which, incidentally, I'm not), you can now see it in your browser window. Go to http://www.asciimation.co.nz/index.php# and you can see a rather different version - in ASCII (that's those pictures made up of letters and numbers - very '80's).

You may not sit through the whole thing, but you have to admit - it's very clever.

Pre-season your game birds

OK, so it's been a while since I last posted, but I'm back and running again !

This is something too good not to post. For anyone out there keen on shooting birds, this is an absolute must. Take a look at Season Shot. This is basically seasoning in a shotgun cartridge, so you effectively season the bird by shooting it. Fantastic - no more removing shot and your bird come pre-seasoned. It doesn't get better than this !
