Well finally someone has put out a USB Flash Drive UI Suite that you don't have to pay $39.99 for. PortableApps Suite 1.0 is from the makers of Firefox aka Mozilla, a fully functional spyware clean and the all important FREE aspect.
In the past I've searched all over the web for varous USB Flash Drive UI (User Interface) for my sticks and have come up with just a hand full, sadly if there not hardware related (speaking of the U3 app, found on varous USB Flash Drives) they are pay related. Todate I and many others have been using PStart which is a great APP to have however it can be a serous butt to get to work or even to set up for most people.
Now the suggest time for installation is 15+ minutes, granted that does depend on what you have for a pc, what the USB Flash Drive is (maker wise), but the two install's I did varied greatly. The first one took only 10 minutes to install, not bad at all. The second one took a whoping 72 minutes to install (don't believe what you read on the outside of the package, this one came with "Fast Transfer Speeds").
Once installed like every program or APP it takes a bit to figure out how it all works, what can be done and what it's shortcomings are. I'm glad to say the only short coming I've ran across is being able to place what you want up on the UI itself, however this is a small complaint considering it allows you todo so much.
Installations of programs onto your USB Flash Drive can now be done with the UI itself, APPs can be launched from it's UI as well and Documents/Video's/Pictures and so forth.
With a price tag of FREE how can you not give it a spin, after all there's no registration to be done, just a simple download and installation. Have fun with this people and remember to have fun. Cya later

Awww, The Cybermen. When it comes to villiany you have to play The Cybermen on the top five in the Dr. Who Universe. Who else could be so lovable in there killing ways, who else would only die in a 24k way, The Cybermen that's who.
With the new Dr. Who well in it's second season now we have seen the return of the Daleks and now The Cybermen, who can complain. He in Western Washington we are treated with the new Dr. Who on the SciFi Channel, CBC Canada and BBC America. Also to boot with KBTC showing the episodes of the classic Dr. Who (3rd Dr.) on Saturdays good television is abound. lol
With the new show brings new looks for both Daleks and Cybermen alike and in my view a very good enchanced up todate look to both. Over the years the Cybermen have looked at worst, guys dressed up in tin foil and garbage bags, even the Daleks looked like they had toilet plungers for a weapon.
If you haven't seen either then it's about time you do, soon the new Dr. Who will not be alone with the spin off series "Torchwood" scheduled in to air in Oct (were I have no idea), causing even more time to be wasted on tv watching the good stuff. Well that's all for my random ramblings and I hope you get the chance to catch the good Dr. After all it's not the special effects that make a good show, it's how much enjoyment it can bring to the viewer.

CYA LATER

Has it really been 1 months since I've last been here? Funny how time flys when your engaged in living.
Since my last taunt at everyone in my blog i've discovered new tech, new ideas and of course new ways of enjoying coffee. lol
First off if your a new user of the USB Flash Drives you quickly come up with this over riding thought, "what else can I do?". Well what I can say is alot. Here is a short list of programs you can use on a USB Flash Drive with little knowledge of computers. Encryption, Firewall, Anti-Virus, Diagnostic, Scanners, Spyware/Adware, Email, Internet Browers, Spreadsheets, Word Processors, Games, Audio/Video editing, Photo editing, Instant Messaging, Back up copies, the list goes on.
Now of course U3 compatable USB Flash Drives are being found everywhere, what are they? Flahs Drives with software related hardware on the Drives, able to auto lauch a wide array of programs on it's own, including an every increasing amount of programs becoming aviable for use.
Many programs for the USB Flash Drives are freeware and not the kind you can use for 30 days, but entirely free! Some may require a registration for it, no real secrective info required and no Credit Card numbers either.
So inclosing here's a list of varous sites that can help you understand what all this is, how to smarty buy and even more so where and what you can use on em. Take care all and if I am not back in time. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Today we are talking Firewalls, have one? For those of us who do use Firewalls a good portion of those are store bought one (Zone Alarm as such) or they are chopped down versions of full versions of there paid cousin (once again Zone Alarm has this too).
The sad truth is too many of us use free versions of programs that we really need to have but just can't afford them, then there's Comodo Firewall (http://www.comodogroup.com/). Comodo Firewall is a fully functional Firewall that straight out from install runs on a higher security level them most other Firewalls. One main problem with many programs is that people don't know how to or understand how to increase there sercurity levels properly, here Comodo does that for you.
With a baseline of knowledgable presets to let known programs run automatically and a Learning setting to let user's allow,deny and/or report suspicous activity. If your not convinced also do what I suggest, check it out for yourself. Read reviews on varous websites and do some research, a little knowledge can go a long ways.
The cost of this fully functioning Firewall is... free registration, that's it.

Can't afford the expensive catch all Antivirus programs? Unable to find good free ones? Well today I am passing along some of those today. The first one up is Avast! antivirus (http://avast.com/) a good decent and yet FREE antivirus program, not the ones that will scan your PC and then ask you to pay for the fix, this is a fully working program. The next one is Grisoft's free version of AVG Anit-Virus (http://www.grisoft.com/doc/1). A working antivirus program with email shield toboot. This one will do the job also. Both AVG and Avast! have varous features that make them both good enough to own together. Lastly this one is not a program at all but a website (http://snapfiles.com/) full of Freeware and Sharware. Make sure you use the tabs to select which on you wish to look through. There are several great programs to be found there for just about every need and this site has two rating systems. One from the website and one from user reviews, so check em out and good luck all. Catch you all later.

Whether you love him, hate him or don't know him you will be drawn to his comentary on KOMO 4 Seattle.
Ken Schramm does comentaries on the news here in Seattle and to date this is one thing that I try to never miss, luckly for you and me all we can go and watch his comments online http://www.komotv.com/kenschram/. I suggest you check it out and see for yourself because Ken does not just stick to Seattle events but also puts the hammer down onthers around the world. Cya later.

Well I snagged this game on the run one day because well, I like Star Trek. First off yes it's a bit dated however if you can over look this small detail you will find a game this is fun, challanging (if you go higher then easy setting) and at least has the original cast memebers once again in there roles of the Voyager crew (Jeri Ryan's voice installed with the patch).
You will being playing the role of either a male or female crew member who is part of the new formed Elite Force, a higher trained, better equiped away team member. From starting off in a training sim you are then moved onto combat through cut scene and mission briefings you will have to move through parts of the ship to get your squad ready and weapons equiped.
Personally I enjoyed this game and it did recieve a 8/10 at IGN.COM, however it's short. Not in stature but in length. I finished it in under 8 hours which actually came to somewhat of a shock because after the final boss battle I felt there was supposed to be more.
There is an Expansion out for this however the reviews say it's extremly short, just how short I don't know but if I ever see the Expanion at the store I will let you all know. Purchase of this game is advisable distpite it's "shortage".
See ya all later

Well I have come back now armed with more magical protection then before. LOL It's been several months since I have last been here and few of you know why that is. Since my last trip to fairyland aka Yahoo I've done alot of work (which we all do), game playing (not enough of us do) and some down to Earth playing about with unarmed minds. As of late I've been going back and replaying some of the Final Fantasy games that I have enjoying them for what they are and understanding that not every game needs to be cutting edge graphics to be fun. Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced for the Gameboy Advacned is one that is good graphics, plenty of game play and a serously large amounts of items and spells mixed with many player character professions. Anyone who has a Gameboy Advanced / SP should pick this one up, it maybe a few years old but it's still a great game to own and play. So that's it all, I'll catch you later and let you know more as I do more. lol
