O&O Spring Cleanup Bundle and Discount

It’s time for Spring Cleaning and here is another computer bundle, this time from O&O software. It includes: DiskImage for making a backup of your system or for cloning and entire drive Defrag to keep files tidy. AutoBackup for backing up files and syncing files to external drives SafeErase for deleting Temp files, Internet files, Wiping Free Space and even the entire drive I’ve used DiskImage in the past and it has worked quite well for me. It’s currently scheduled to make an image of my C:\ drive every two weeks. So if something goes wrong with that drive, it should just be a matter of replacing it, restoring the image and back up and running. O&O is offering each program for $12 for 1 PC, or you can buy a bundle with all 4 apps to cover 3 PCs for $39. Clearly, the bundle price is far cheaper than buying 1 copy of each. It’s an 85% discount on […]

Ashampoo Bundle System Utilities 13–Winoptimzer, Uninstaller, HDD Control

With Spring Cleaning comes the time to dig through your system and clean out some of those old files and programs you no longer need. Ashampoo has a bundle offer to help with the task and it comes with a really good price. The Bundle System Utilities 13 contains Winoptimizer to help clean out old files, Uninstaller which can be used to remove programs you no longer need and monitor new ones as you go forward, and HDD Control to keep an eye on your drives so you don’t suffer from data loss, a problem I seem to keep running into as I add more and more drives to my system. Even at the lowest discount price, all three apps would be around $36. However, with this bundle, you can get all three for less than half of that. Using the link below, you can get all three for $19, or just over $6 a piece. That is a really […]

Breevy and DisplayFusion as part of the Humble Bundle

For those that are interested, you can get the Text Expansion tool Breevy, and the multiple monitor tool, DisplayFusion for less than $8 during the current Humble Bundle sale. If you’re not familiar, Breevy is a great text expansion tool for Windows. While the Mac has multiple choices for this sort of software, Windows is lagging pretty far behind. However, Breevy is a solid entry and normally sells for $35 on it’s own. To get it for less than $8 is a steal! Text expansion tools are great for creating shortcuts keys to frequently used phrases. Or, you can use acronyms and get the complete title spelled out. You can easily see this with games. For example, NFS for Need for Speed. Or SotA for Shroud of the Avatar. Now you can type that acronym and get the whole title spelled out for you. They’re also very convenient when filling in boilerplates. DisplayFusion is the tool to have installed when […]

RedFox is back, but …

So, we all know Slysoft, the company behind AnyDVD ultimately had to abandon the project and it was resurrected as RedFox. Now the question becomes, do you throw your support behind RedFox or seek shelter in the arms of another? For me, the answer was to move on. I had the lifetime license to all the Elaborate Bytes and Slysoft products – from CloneCD to AnyDVD HD and even GameJackal, but in the end, I couldn’t bring myself to jump on board and buy the products all over again. I completely understand the company needed to make money and they offered a discount for returning customers, but I was hesitant to put my eggs in that basket again. Instead, I changed tacts and companies and went with DVDFab Passkey, which offered a massive discount for previous AnyDVD users. I took them up on the offer with the mind that AnyDVD will still work for all the DVDs and Blurays I […]

Ember – Some final thoughts

I have now completed Ember and figured I would share a few thoughts about the experience. To put it simply, Ember is a tremendous amount of fun and is probably the best game I’ve played this year. I found it to have a deep and interesting story that unfolds not just through the events of the game, but through the dozens of books you find along the way. Plus there is a lot to learn through side conversations and tavern interactions. The more citizens you speak with and the more books you stop to read, the more you learn about Domus, the events that brought about the Lightbringer and the tension between different races. And even if the books don’t give enlightenment about the lore of the world, such as the famed tome, The Domus Pub Crawl, they are still amusing and add to the fabric of the game. Additionally, Ember has great momentum, always moving you forward to the […]
