80%

Running at about 80%, which is fine if I don't get worse.

One of the delightful traditions of cyberspace is the availability of free software. Excellent free software. For example, there are a number of freeware programs I can't live without. (Find these via Google...most have name.com sites).

  • Open Office. An extraordinary open source, free version of Microsoft Office. Even better, In OpenWriter, the version of Word, you can save directly to pdf, useful in many contexts including publishing.
  • Alleycode, an html editor. One click lets you see the results
  • Xenu, which checks links in a hypertext build.
  • Agent Ransack, the most powerful, quickest hard drive search tool I've seen.
  • Audacity, an audio editor.
  • Virtual Dub, a video editor.
  • Prism, a video file converter.
  • Celtx, a screenwriting program. Powerful and free but without bells and whistles the top programs have.
  • Ftp add-on for Firefox. Very convenient.

There are others but these come quickly to mind,
