Computer crash – run for your lives!

Well, my computer crashed tonight, leaving me cursing and smoking heavily. My desktop, with dozens of shortcuts and useful stuff now looks like hell!

Obviously now I have to reinstall all the software that I had before the crash, and only thinking about that drives me a little mad. But I thought of something that could make the whole thing worthwhile: I’ll try to install only free software, freeware, open source. The only commercial software in my computer will be Windows XP and the video editing software that I use to make some cash. And that means that I’ll dig for freeware stuff and, of course, I’ll let you know what I find. Starting tomorrow this blog will be the scene where I’ll review the free software that will outfit my system from now on. Wish me luck I will call this “The Freeware Mission”!

if you where to make a listing of what kind of software you need, it would simplify things.
There is a great list I chose most my stuff from or added to when I found something here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic3616.html

Thanks for the link, there’s a very good list there indeed. I need all sorts of software, but I’ll just search for what I need when… the need appears. For instance, I wanted to make an Excel sheet. And I haven’t MS Office anymore. So I went looking for a freeware program to replace it.

All good, but the annoying thing is that you have advertisements on your blog.
(Replace annoying with very annoying)

If you ask me there is only one type of advertisements that are really annoying – those that take the whole page and disrupt your viewing. I try to keep the annoying ads out of this blog, even if that means losing income.

I don’t know what happened to it. Sometimes it’s displayed, sometimes it’s replaced by the “long term” text. You can use html tags for links, it might be easier for Blogger.
