Choose and Lose

Downloads

icon_download_product_large_ani.gifSome software I’ve installed in the last few days.
Download at yer own risk.

  1. Adobe Reader 8 – the new version looks nice and glossy but I’m having a hard time making the toolbars show up everytime I open a pdf file.
  2. OpenOffice.org 2.1 – I don’t intend to replace MS Office, not yet. I just downloaded this to view a presentation from Sun.
  3. PimpFish – nice Flash grabber that “just works”.

Yahoo! Chat

y.jpgNow there’s IM right inside the Yahoo! Mail page.

Wasn’t able to try it out yet because, for some reason, the CSS for all Yahoo! sites in the office is blocked. I’m expecting something similar with the Google Talk and GMail integration.

Election

vote.jpgI never saw it coming but the elections are fast approaching. I’m not proud to say that I was not able to register, yet again, to cast my vote. Ok, ok, voting is a duty and all, but I would honestly rather be doing other stuff than exerting some effort to read the news about the country and its politicians and how everyone’s talking about politics rather than the real issues of the nation.

I think it would just pollute my mind. Then again, I could be wrong.

    Di ko masyadong type yung Adobe Reader 8 kasi parang ang hirap i-manipulate ng document. O baka dapat lang akong magbasa ng “getting started”, hehe.
