Macheist Nanobundle a Free Bundle of Awesome Apps

Posted in Internet Tips by Alex Hwang on November 8, 2009

Macheist is now giving out a free software bundle worth $150! It includes good apps like Twitterific, WriteRoom (which I’m using to type this right now), TinyGrab, and Shovebox. TinyGrab is a dead-simple solution to taking screenshots on mac, instantly uploading to a server. Shovebox allows you to take small notes on what you don’t want to forget later, featuring a beautiful interface and seamless integration with the mac operating system.

There is also an app called Hordes of Orcs which I’ve never heard of. I guess if you like that kind of game you would like this.

Mariner Write, a great premium word processor with minimalistic features, will be free for everyone once 500,000 people have signed up. So go ahead and try it!

Macheist gives most of its proceeds to charity, so you can do this with a good feeling in your mind :)

OpenOffice 3.1 Out!

Posted in All Operating Systems Tips, Downloads, Mac Tips, Tech News, Windows Tips by Alex Hwang on May 5, 2009

Open Office

By know we should know that OpenOffice 3, the monster open source – Word challenger – had huge improvements and features over OpenOffice 2, and the latest release of the OO.o series has gotten even better in version 3.1, fixing many bugs. I have seen a noticeable difference in speed, especially at memory usage and startup. You can even use the portable version of OpenOffice if your company doesn’t allow you to uninstall Word 97 :) . OpenOffice is so popular now that Google Docs and Zoho Writer supports it.

Download OpenOffice here.
