Paint Shop Pro - Free Download?

While viewing one of the usenet newsgroups I saw that someone posted about free downloads of the current Paint Shop Pro graphics editing program. The latest version of Paint Shop Pro is over 130 MB's in size!

Unfortunately the person that posted this did not include a link to where the Paint Shop Program could be downloaded for free!

Free Download A Day Site

Free Download A Day

I just found out out this site today. It was included in one of my emails. I have just glanced over the site and haven't had a chance to really look at it but it seems to have a nice number of freely downloaded programs.

I also notice that they have a lot of free download programs for linux users as well.

The Internet Movie Database?

The Internet Movie Database (or IMDB for short) is a website that has a wealth of information about movies. You can find out almost anything about almost any movie from this website.

However I am a little disappointed because while the site has message boards and also gives you the option of adding your own synopsis and plotlines you must first "authenticate" your account by either giving them your credit card nomber or giving them your cellphone number - which I think is just too much to ask just to be able to have the priviledge of being able to post your opinions, etc.

Hover - Microsoft Game

Hover is a racing-type game that came with my Windows95 package. However I found out that you can still download this game and play it on almost all of the subsequent Windows operating systems. Here is a link to a site where you can find out more about this game and download it for free as well.

The game is available as a free download.

Google Earth

* There is a rule that Google images can't be posted to a site that has adsense on it so I'm putting a general picture of a globe here just to give you a general idea

Google Earth is a great website - or is it program? I didn't mention it before because I thought that one had to have a high-speed connection in order to use the program. But I found out from this discussion board that you can use a dial-up modem with Google Earth. Now some people say that they don't mind if it takes some time to actually use Google Earth because of their slower dial-up connection and some have been just too frustrated to continue to use it with their dial-up modem. But the general advice is to try it and see.

What is Google Earth? Google Earth is a free downloaded program that lets you "see the earth" - for lack of a better explanation. You can view the globe, view various locations and see maps of areas all around the world including your own neighborhood.

There is also a message board where people can post, ask and answer questions.

Once you start getting good at using the program you can make your own maps to send to others that have Google Earth installed so that they can see YOUR map(s). It even gets to be more fun because people have been making much more complicated maps that include everything from layers to overlays.

You can find download and find out more about Google Earth and the minimum system requirements that you have to have to install it by clicking the link below:

My Blog Was Locked Over The Labor Day Weekend!

My blog was locked over the Labor Day Weekend but I'm glad to report that it is back now!

I also started a new blog called Philadelphia Native Blog. Originally this blog was supposed to be about me and the places and things I enjoyed in Philadelphia but somehow this blog turned into a blog talking about the free things that I have found on the internet.

So I started a new blog that will hopefully stay on the topic of Philadelphia and related stuff.

If not I'll just branch out and create another blog - LOL!

Daz Studio 1.7

One of the conditions of downloading this free 3d program is that I tell at least 2 people about it!

Daz Studio is a 3d program. I found it when I was looking for Poser! Apparently you can make some very good 3d renders with this program. It's so big that I haven't had a chance to play with it yet.

You can download this program for free by clicking here

BUT BE FOREWARNED THAT YOU HAVE TO REGISTER WITH THE DAZ 3D SITE IN ORDER TO GET THE REGISTRATION CODE

I love creating 3d models but I haven't had much time for it because I have been working. I have been intriguied by 3d modeling ever since I got my first Bryce program and the original Poser program.

3D graphics are realistic looking models of everyday objects. You can also create human objects and humanoid objects as well.

I have a long way to go but I have gotten to the point where I know that it will take a lot of time and patience to create 3d models.

Ultimately I would like to design human characters, hair and clothing for my 3d models.

Here is a picture that I made kind of fast using the program. I can see me spending a LOT of time playing around with this program.

The Font Free Blog!

Here is a new blog that has free fonts download! I just visited this site today and saw some cute fonts and I actually downloaded one of the free fontsfree fonts that was on this blog.

Update!

March 17, 2011 - Unfortunately this blog no longer exists!

VUE - Personal Limited Edition

If you're into 3D graphics then this program is a definite MUST! But first let me warn you that this 3D graphics program is over 300 MB in size! It took me all night to download it and it took about 45 minutes to install! So make sure that you have enough hard drive space before you download this program!

Here is the link to download the program:

Download the VUE - Personal Limited Edition

I repeat - this is a very powerful (and very big) 3D graphics program! After I went through the torture of finally installing it and opening the program I realized just how big it is!

One of the best things about this free download is that the program is so powerful! Here is what the website says about this edition of this 3D program:

The Personal Learning Edition (PLE) is a fully functional version of Vue 6 Infinite/xStream (selection of Infinite or xStream is done during installation). With the PLE, you can:

• Create complete projects, save your work and export to other applications,
  

• Render stills and animations without size/length limit,
  

• Experience Vue’s power directly inside Max/Maya/LightWave/Cinema4D (XSI coming soon)
  

• Learn at your own pace (the PLE never expires)!

The PLE is for personal, non-commercial use only, files cannot be exchanged with other PLE users and are not compatible with other versions of Vue, renders may be watermarked and carry a logo.

I tried to make a "fast" picture so that I could show you what you can do with the program but its just too much for me to grasp since I just got it so here is a picture from one of their galleries:

Renderosity.com

If you're into 3D graphics then Renderosity.com is just the place for you!

Personally I love 3D graphics but I haven't had much time to work with them. I have a couple of 3D programs like Bryce (which I was able to get via a free legitimate download, Terragen which is also a free 3D graphics program that helps you to create scenic terrains and I have Wings3D which I haven't figured out how to work with yet. I would LOVE to have a copy of Poser! Poser is a 3D program that helps you to create human looking figures - but Poser costs a lot - but it's definitely worth it when I do have the money to purchase it.

But getting back to Renderosity.com its a great place for 3D artists and wannabe 3D artists. You do have to register and join before you can post to the forums but it is free to register. Once you register you will be privy to a welath of information concerning 3D art and artists. However 2D artists participate as well. They have message forums for software programs, 3d artists, writers and a whole lot more!

What I especially love about this site is the number of free 3D models that you can download and I will admit to downloading some of them myself! There are some great 3d models that you can download for free!

They also have contests and challenges. They also have an artists' gallery where you can showcase your work. You can sell your 3d-related work on Renderosity as well!

Renderosity.com is a great place for 3d artists and for people like me - 3d wannabe artists.

What?

Well it looks like my Adsense Consultant blog got classified as a spam blog. Now I have to prove to blogger that I'm human and not automated or a robot!

I went through the form process and now have to wait 2-3 business days for a reply!

Poser

This is definitely on my "wish list"!

Poser lets you create human figures. It's sort of like being able to sculpt a figure but Poser makes it better by letting you make clothes and even hair!

Even though it says "Poser 5" on the picture I believe version 7 is out now. I would love to have this program. It is quite costly but I still want it!

I have version 1 (LOL!) and I still use it.

Well THAT Was A Lot Of Fun!

I just spent the last half hour getting rid of some sort of "thing" that kept appearing in my browser. What it was was that any of the sites that had google's Adsense on it I couldn't see the ads. Instead what I got was blank "white" space where the Google Ads were!

Now I have downloaded only one thing in the past 3 days and I'm thinking that was the source of the problems that I was having.

I still have to test it out by looking at my blog - but so far so good.

I guess that should be a lesson to all of us - don't download anything that you are not sure of. You may get a virus, adware or even something worse that will really mess up your computer!

Well, I didn't win the lottery (again!)

I don't know why I keep playing the lottery! No, I change that - yes I do. I played it because #1 I had a coupon for a free lottery ticket (as long as I bought 1) and #2 I played it because I hoped I'd win!

I tell you lottery headquarters must be getting very, very rich off of the people (me included) who play the lottery!

I did see this television show about people who had won the lottery. One man killed himself and a woman who won the lottery ended up in jail! There were some good stories too. One couple manage to live quite quietly with their lottery winnings and one girl after she won the lottery got her friend out of the armed forces and they got married.

What would I do if I won the lottery? I would pay off my bills! After that I would just sit back and relax for a couple of hours secure in the knowledge that my bills were paid! (At least for a little while!)

A Pet Owner's Blog

Cripple Kitten - Updates 15June2007 - video powered by Metacafe

The video on this blog just tugged at my heart! If you are a pet lover then you will well appreciate this blog by a fellow pet owner. (To some it might be a bit graphic and if you don't like seeing animals in bad condition then I recommend that you don't go to this site because of the pictures)

but as heartbreaking as it might seem at first these pets look very happy and as pet owners that's what we want for our pets!

Little Vet Blog

If you are a pet owner like me then you may find this blog pleasantly pleasing. It's a new blog by a women vet and she talks about her job and her career as a vet. She also talks about how she has to deal with people which unfortunately is not always a pleasant task. After reading some of her posts I sometimes feel sorry for her all the stuff that she has to deal with!

So if you are a pet owner or just love animals here is a very good blog to keep your eyes on.

Self-Growth.com

Are you feeling depressed? Need something to help cheer you up? Then you should definitely head over to Selfgrowth.com!

This website contains a number of articles both inspirational and motivational. I myself go to this website alot! It has various articles on many things including how to help with your depression, financial advice and general over-all articles about feeling good!

You don't have to pay to join because this is a free site so you don't have to pay anything just to read the articles. If you find that they are helpful to you you can sign up to have their newsletter emailed to you every week.

Photobucket

You know it just occured to me that the name Photobucket is just what this site is all about. This is a place where you can store you photos. It is free to join. You can see my Photobucket album by clicking here

Just as their name says you can store your photos online. After looking at their main page today I see that they have over 2 Billion images stored! So you can upload your photos to your own storage space. There are other options and resources like turning your photos into a slide show and you will even be given the html coding to add the slideshow to your website or blog. I have seen an example of a Photobucket slideshow at this website

Photobucket also has their own blog, forum and tutorials to help you learn more about the site and what you can do with it.
