RECOMMENDED 'UTILITY' SITES ^

TYPE
LINK

TEMP EMAIL
free

Mailinator - Need an instant mailaddress so you will not get spammed? Just have it send to one of their domains. Just collect the email after signing up somewhere and then forget about it. No setup or passwords required and your mail is removed within hours.

SECURITY
free tests

Gibson Research - grc.com offers several security products and utilities. One I will mention here since it is free and good: Shields Up!. Shields Up! is an online portscanner / check to see if your computer ports are stealth or at least closed. It also gives information what certain ports are used for. Much more security info on this site.

FREEWARE
windows

NoNags - Looking for excellent, free software without interrupting banners? No better place as to start your search here! Each program is rated and has a short overview. They don't list all available software, so don't limit yourself to this site.

 

RECOMMENDED WINDOWS PROGRAMS - OFTEN FREEWARE ^

TYPE
LINK
ANTI VIRUS
free for home use
AntiVir - This probably is the best free anti-virussoftware available. Easy online updating of software and virusinfo.
MESSENGER
open source, free
Miranda - This messenger supports ICQ,MSN,AIM,IRC and many more protocols while being one of the least memory consuming. This one is fully customisable and has many good features and also hundreds of plugins which you can download for extra functionality or better looks. Not for inexperienced user but Trillian went into the bin here.
FIREWALL
free for home use
Kerio Personal Firewall - The Kerio Firewall 2 is virtually the same as the better known Tiny Firewall. Version 4 just became available and now also offers system security (controlled launch of apps), intrusion detection and logging, web content filtering and more. Version 4 was not fully stealth last time I checked, but newer version might. Not for novices.
COMPRESSION
freeware
IZArc - IZArc is an excellent archiving tool that you can use to open and create compressed files in over 20 different formats including ace, rar and zip. Many advanced features and Windows integration. Excellent replacement for winzip and winrar.

BROWSER
adware or €39,=

Opera - Opera is a truly nice browser, email and rss client. It is much safer and faster as Microsoft's Explorer and Outlook Express. Now at version 7.54, this great tiny (<4Mb download without java) multiplatform browser now displays almost all sites correctly. Especially recommended if you dislike the Mozilla/Firefox family of browsers.
TWEAKING
freeware
Xteq X-Setup - Without a doubt the most complete tweaker there is (800+ options). Great to optimize or configure any Windows operating system. Includes wizards for novices. Still, only around 4Mb.
VIRTUAL CD/DVD
freeware
Daemon Tools - DAEMON Tools is a free virtual cd/dvd-rom emulator. Store your CD image on your HD and access them all at much faster speed.

VIRTUAL CD/DVD
30-day trial / €45

Alcohol 120% - Alcohol 120% is a cd / dvd emulator. It burns perfect copies, opens and creates images in almost all formats. Can burn several images at the same time, emulates most copy protections and is compatible with 99% of all drives. Enables you to run all CD's from harddisk, so no more burning!
FILE SHARING
open source, free
DC++ - DC++ is an open source C++ client for the Direct Connect protocol. DC is different and more personal compared to other filesharing communities and servers usually require you to share some gigabytes (1-100) of data before you get admitted to servers. DC users share far more as any other network and there are almost no fake files. Give it a try for at least a week as it takes a little time to grow on you.
MEDIA PLAYER
freeware
BS Player - BS player is a Windows® player that plays back all kinds of media files and specialises in video and divx playback. Good performance too: all simply excellent. I am sticking to version 0.86 since 1.0X lacks some cfg options.
MIDI PLAYER
freeware
Van Basco - Best MIDI / Karaoke player. Change tempo, volume, key, switch individual instruments on and off. Display lyrics and piano display of all channels.
AUDIO PLAYER
freeware
QCD - Impressive mp3, mp3pro, vqf, ogg and cd player and also video since version 4.5. Also plays winamp playlists. Amazing skins available (winamp is no match here), best CDDB2integration (automatic track recognition) and mp3 encoding.
AUDIO PLAYER
freeware
Deli Player - DeliPlayer is a multi format, free audio player for Windows® 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP. It plays all sorts of music, tracker files, modules and samples with high quality, this remarkable player that supports over 200 (!!) formats. I don't like its interface too much, but maybe you do.

 

QUOTES ^

JOHAN CRUYFF QUOTES ^ ( Johan Cruyff, one of world football greats, is famous in the Netherlands for his quotes. Often with bad grammar but also simple and true.)

Ik maak eigenlijk zelden fouten want ik heb moeite me te vergissen.
( I seldomly make mistakes because I have troubles to be mistaken. )

Voordat ik een fout maak, maak ik die fout niet.
( Before I make a mistake, I don't make that mistake. )

Je gaat het pas zien als je het doorhebt.
( You only see it when you understand it. )

Elk voordeel hep z'n nadeel!
( Every advantage has its disadvantage. )

Toeval is logisch.
( Chance is logical. )

Ik ben overal tegen. Tot ik een besluit neem, dan ben ik ervoor.
( I am against anything. Until I make a decision, then I am for it. )

De waarheid is nooit precies zoals je denkt dat hij zou zijn.
( The truth is never exactly like you think it would be. )

De hoogste opgave van het menselijk kennen is te begrijpen dat hij niet begrijpen kan.
( The biggest challange in human knowing is to understand you can not understand. )

Ik geloof niet. In spanje slaan alle 22 spelers een kruisje voordat ze het veld opkomen, als het werkt, zal het dus altijd een gelijk spel worden.
( I don't believe. In Spain all 22 players make a cross before coming out on the field, so if that worked all games would end with an equal score. )

Voetballen is simpel maar het moeilijkste wat er is, is simpel voetballen.
( Football is simple but the hardest thing there is, is to play simple football. )

Er is nu eenheid, iedereen doet in principe wat ik vraag. Het zijn namelijk geen Hollanders, die als je begint met ademhalen al zeggen: ja maar...
( Now there is unity, everyone does more or less like I ask. There are no Dutch that when they start breathing say: yes, but... )

Als je voor elke positie de beste speler kiest, heb je nog geen sterk elftal maar een team dat als los zand uiteen valt.
( When you have the best player for each position, you do not have a strong team, but a team that falls apart like dry sand. )

Je moet altijd zorgen dat je een doelpunt meer scoort als de tegenstander.
( You just have to make sure to score one goal more as your opponent. )

Als wij de bal hebben kunnen zij niet scoren.
( If we have possesion, they can't score. )

Hun verdediging was geitenkaas.
( Their defence was goatcheese. )

Bergkamp speelde ver onder nul.
( Bergkamp played far below zero. )

De Argentijnen kennen niet van jouw winnen maar je kunt wel van hun verliezen, das logisch.
( The Argentines can't win but you can loose to them, that's only logical. )

Als je sneller wilt spelen kun je wel harder lopen maar in weze bepaalt de bal de snelheid van het spel.
( If you want to play faster, you could run harder, but in fact the ball determines the speed of play. )

Wat is snelheid? Vaak verwisselt de sportpers snelheid met inzicht. Kijk, als ik iets eerder begin te lopen dan een ander, dan lijk ik sneller.
( What is speed? Often the press confuses speed for insight. See, when I start running a bit earlier then anyone else, I look faster. )

Loopt ie 2 meter eerder dan is het een goal.
( Would he have walked 2 meters earlier, it would have been a goal)

In voetbal is het simpel: je bent op tijd of je bent te laat. Als je te laat bent, moet je zorgen dat je op tijd vertrekt.
( In football things are simple: you are either on time or too late. If you are too late, you have to make sure to start on time. )

Als je met 4-0 voor staat en er zijn nog tien minuten te spelen, kun je beter twee ballen op de lat schieten, zodat de mensen "oei" en "ai" roepen, want als je 5-0 maakt, is dat alleen maar voor de stand.
( If you are 4-0 in front and you have 10 minutes to play, you'd better shoot two balls on the bar so that people can say 'oooh' and 'aaah', because if you make 5-0, it is just for the score. )

Als je een hoge balcirculatie nodig hebt, kan het niet zo zijn dat er een speler met de bal gaat lopen. Dat kan niet. Je kunt hooguit met een bal lopen om een ander de tijd te geven ergens te komen.
( If you need fast ballcirculation, you can't have players running with the ball. You only can walk with the ball to give someone else time to get somewhere else. )
