  • Do you like tinkering with operating systems ("OS") but find the major open source OSes to be too large and complicated to figure out? A new tiny operating system for the x86 processors has been added to the Free Alternative Operating Systems page. It fits into less than 64KB of memory, can be used from a USB flash drive, a floppy or a CD, and is written entirely in assembly language. Check it out.

  • Have you accidentally deleted a file that you now want to use? Check out the newest software to be added to the Free Data Recovery, File and Partition Recovery, Undelete and Unformat Software page. This program can recover files removed from hard disks, USB flash drives and memory sticks, which means that it can handle files deleted on computers, digital cameras, smart phones, and other such devices.
11 April 2012
  • New page: Free PHP Compilers: compile PHP scripts to native code, .NET or Java bytecode. Are you looking for a PHP native code compiler, one that can produce an executable file (eg, .exe or .dll for Windows), that you can distribute without your revealing your source code? Or perhaps you're looking for some way to speed up your PHP programs and figure that a script compiled to machine code may help. Check out the new Free PHP Compilers page for some free and/or open source solutions.

  • New page: What Banks Need to Know Before Getting a New Domain Name. I was interviewed by the American Bankers Association's Bank Marketing Magazine on the things that banks need to be aware of when they get a new domain name. An edited version of that interview is now available online.
21 March 2012
  • New page: Free Embedded Web Video Player Scripts/Code. Do you want to put up videos on your website but don't want to use a free video sharing service like YouTube? The free video player scripts on this page let you embed a video player that your visitors can use to view movies and video clips on your site. Besides the usual features, some of them can also handle playlists, useful if you plan to put up a lot of clips. These scripts not only support modern browsers that handle HTML5, but they also automatically fall back to using a Flash player should it be necessary, so that your videos will always work.
13 February 2012
  • Are you thinking of adding a forum to your website, where visitors can interact with each other and chat?

  • Have you ever had to cut and paste multiple things from one window to another and wondered if there was a more efficient way to do things?

  • If you are looking for a way so that you can more efficiently work with multiple folder windows open on your computer, check out the latest addition to the Free File Managers and Graphical Shells page. These file managers usually provide a multi-tabbed dual pane window that let you easily work with files in 2 (or more) folders (such as to copy files between those folders, rename multiple files in one go, etc).
26 January 2012 25 January 2012
  • A new BASIC compiler for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux has been added to the Free BASIC Compilers and Interpreters page. You often hear it said that learning computer programming is harder these days because of the complexity of today's systems. Whether or not you agree with this, the new BASIC compiler allows you to take advantage of the simplicity of the old days to learn to program while at the same time giving you the scope to use modern computer technologies like multimedia and the Internet in your program. It does this by emulating the QuickBasic and QBasic of the DOS years, and adding modern programming facilities to the mix.

  • Are you thinking of starting your own website? If so, a new free (and open source) web editor has been added to the Free HTML Editors and WYSIWYG Web Editors page. This one is written by the author of the well-known Nvu web editor (now defunct), and works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. If you have been waiting for a modern, updated free web editor, check this out.

  • What happens if your computer gets infected with a virus that your usual antivirus program cannot clean? Or if you're asked by your friend to clean his/her badly infected system?

And yes, it's free, as are the other recovery solutions listed on that page.

The language is similar to the C/C++ family of languages, but includes numerous convenience features designed specifically to make it easy for you to develop interactive fiction.

This free software, from Microsoft, comes complete with lesson plans. You don't even need to be a parent or teacher to use this. Why not create a game or two during the New Year holiday season?

  • The source code for the famous Doom 3 game from id Software is now listed on the Free Games Programming Libraries, Free Game Engines and Source Code. It's there for the benefit of the programmers who want to learn how big game developers do things, and tinker with the code. Personally, I think it's easier to just write your own game using one of the game engines (also listed on that same page). I mean, even the famous game engines like Unreal can be obtained for free from that page, so you can already use cutting edge stuff without the headache of deciphering other people's code.
22 November 2011
  • A new instant messaging (IM) computer program, that allows you to communicate "live" with others on the Internet, has been added to the Free Instant Messaging (IM) Software page. This program supports a wide range of popular protocols, including AIM, Facebook, MSN, Yahoo, Jabber, IRC, ICQ, etc, so you can simply use one program to chat with others even if they are using different software.
18 November 2011 14 November 2011
  • Are you thinking of starting a website where your users or visitors can freely add or modify pages just like the pages on Wikipedia? The newest entry on the Free and Open Source PHP Wiki Scripts page lets you do just that. The program doesn't even require you to have a MySQL database. Wiki-based sites are useful when you want (or need) your visitors to help you do the work of updating your website.
10 November 2011
  • A new easy-to-use software that can emulate a CD, DVD and Blu-Ray drive has been added to the Free DVD/CD Emulators, Free Virtual CD/DVD Drives page. In layman's language, such emulators are just computer programs that pretends to be an actual CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drive. It can load ISO files as though they are real CDs, DVDs or Blu-Ray discs, so that you can play them on your computer or run programs from them. This new free software can also create ISO files from real CDs, DVDs and Blu-Ray disks, freeing you from the need to keep a particular disk in your drive all the time.
7 November 2011 1 November 2011
  • The latest addition to the Free Educational Programming Languages - Teach Kids Programming page is an integrated development environment that teaches a subset of the Java programming language in a friendly way. If you're looking for a way to teach children, teenagers, or even yourself, a programming language, this is a good way to start since it's not only easy to learn, but you also get to learn a language that can be used for real world programming tasks.
