HP 50G Scientific Graphic Calculator - Since my high school and college techie days, I have had a personal fascination for HP calculators, their unique design and RPN logic. In 1974 I bought an HP-65 for 600 pounds then!!! I recently bought the HP-50g for 170 pounds. But we are luckier still as you can now get a free HP-50G emulator for the PC.

Above is the link to the best emulators for the PC for the top HP-50G scientific graphing calculator - and is is absolutely free.

Lotus Agenda - A DOS based PIM program (free again) that was one of a kind. I sincerely doubt that anything like it will ever come up again. Here is a link to download it but a warning - you have 1 in a 1,000,000 chance of liking it but if you do…….. you are hooked!

Sitemapz.com - This is one of the best, free, unlimited, site map generators I have found. Testing it for the time being myself. Generates a very big file. Hope that means it is good :-) Am using this one.

SitemapsPal - This is the second one I use.

XML-Echo - Another free sitemap generator for up to 5000 pages.

Gsitemap - Free Google sitemap generator and some other goodies like Web Analyzer to tell you how much you can compress files on your site. Of course to compress them actually you have to buy a $499/- software from them so I ran off to look for something else. Check out their site for details.

GOM Player - A free player that plays all types of files and you don't have to worry about codecs and what not. I prefer this to the VLC player which is also free but I found a few small glitches with VLC player. WIll check out more and update this para.

Learn to Play Pool- Now that we have bought a pool table and don't have anywhere to keep it we have put it in the chicken shed. Yes that is right. Only luckily there are no chickens there as they have moved to the farm. So lets get down to learning how to play the game from this excellent free site for the basics.

Some Learning Videos from UTube - This stuff is intimidating.

Spice Up Your HTML Pages with Random Widgets - This is what I came up with when I was thinking of a way that I could include random entries from my guestbook in a webpage on our site.  This would show up all the entries and one would not have to go in serial order. Most people don't go to the beginning of a guestbook to see what someone wrote that far back.  This would did out old comments at random and adds a dynamic quality to the webpage.  Let's see if I can get this working.
