Hohum, A boring day. Watching movies definitely spices things up. I head on to this site for some streaming pleasure. usually, new titles are on the list. Quality is definitely suffered, but for the extra charge of free-ness, well, i can't complain.
Your bandwidth must be healthy and robust though as each buffering second can be excruciatingly long if you don't have faster connections. Oh well, popcorn in microwave, soda at the side, move the couch near the monitor...and i'm all set for a night fest.
i won't promise you HD-quality here... but it's better than your usual reruns on TV.
For today, I give Movie6: *****

Free Downloads: Giveaway of the Day
Whenever I feel bored and there is no sense surfing endlessly, I head on to GAOTD. This site offers free downloads of licensed programs good only for the day (duh!) The best feature though is the comment section. It can get very addicting if you spot thumbs ups and downs for a particular program. Plus, you get freeware, shareware or opensource alternatives of the download of the day. If you diligently follow the comments line, I'm sure you will get better results.
Anyway, I've been RSSing to this site and I've posted their widget on my iGoogle for almost months now. How's that for fail-safe netting of the freebie goodies. Since Monday though, their featured downloads have become really interesting. I am so sorry for my PC though since I've been downloading and installing a lot these days.

Online Hard Drive: Box
I'm dying to get my hands on an ASUS eee. A few people are discouraging me to buy one because of the miniscule memory and lack of optical drive. I really don't care. I just want it fit my small-ish tote bag. It's not like advertising that I have a laptop. Anyways, if I want memory, I can always buy an external drive, flash drive or have a virtual drive. Tsk, tsk.
For many years, Box has securely stored my files online. although the limited memory can be daunting, I have managed to wisely select and prune my files. Very obsessive-compulsive about it. This online hard drive delivers perfectly, thank you. Sharing and collaboration? Not a problem. It keeps account members updated with its productivity tools by partnering with promising sites that offer mobile/online features. Thanks to Box, I have managed to survive a few re-formats without twitching my eyes.
For today, I give Box: ***** for sanity saved.

Online Scanner: Scanr
Like all sites featured on this blog, I obviously prefer online productivity. I abhor the downloading and installing of programs only to realize that it doesn't run or it takes a license/registration key. Well, for today, I can do mobile scanning online without lugging around my bulky scanner.
Scanr has been a reliable friend for almost 2 years. I do a lot of whiteboard instructions and I hate repeating and re-writing my outlines every week. What I do is take a picture of my whiteboard through my 2MP digicam or camphone and email it over to wb@scanr.com. An email will arrive shortly with the PDF version of my whiteboard notes. I can just email this or show through a projector what I wrote to my next class. Not bad, eh?
It doesn't end there, though. Scanr does documents too. Like, if I need to photocopy a page on a book (doc@scanr.com), have an image or business card (bc@scanr.com) on PDF format. All I need is take a picture, send the email to the site and voila.
There is a paid version wherein you won't see a scanR watermark on the final PDF forms. But the free account is better than fine for me.
