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.
- New page: BlueGriffon Tutorial: How to Create a Website with the BlueGriffon Free Web Editor. BlueGriffon is a free and open source WYSIWYG ("what you see is what you get") web editor.

- 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.

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.
- Are you thinking of adding a forum to your website, where visitors can interact with each other and chat?

- 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.

If you have been waiting for a modern, updated free web editor, check this out.

- New page: How to Efficiently Manage a Multi-Page Website with Dreamweaver CS5.5.

- Teach children computer programming the fun way by letting them create computer games on either the XBox (using only the XBox game controller) or on the PC (using a mouse and keyboard) with the newest entry on the Free Educational Programming Languages - Teach Kids Programming page. 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?
- Are you thinking of getting rid of your old computer perhaps because you bought a new one this Christmas? A new software has been added to the Free Secure File and Disk Deletion Utilities page that will allow you to securely wipe the data from your old hard disk, so that you can safely dispose of it or give it away. Remember that deleting your files is not enough; anyone can run a data recovery program to undelete them.

- New page: How to Customize the Navigation Menu on Your Website with Dreamweaver CS5.5. A website's navigation menu is the set of buttons on every page that links to important pages on the site.

This is chapter 6 of the Dreamweaver CS 5.5 tutorial.
- 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.
- 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.

- 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.
