Create your own seal & The Gimp
Create your own seal like the one on the left from
The Official Seal Generator.
For my seal I used The Gimp to tweaked it a bit. The Gimp is a free image manipulation software, some people compare it to Adobe Photo shop but with some minor tools missing.
If you are getting into web development and don't have the dough to buy Adobe Photo shop or something similar, The Gimp is the perfect tool to start with and learn. As you can see in figure 1 & 2 you can make banners, buttons, tweak pictures and your imagination and creativity is your only limit with The Gimp. Download The Gimp from filehippo.com here. You will need to install the GTK + 2 Runtime Enviroment to run The Gimp for the first time, which can be downloaded here.
The Gimp is avialable for Windows, Mac OS X, and Unix including Linux.

Clean the Crap...
With CCleaner, a freeware that cleans out all those unnecessary files
that when you run CCleaner for the first time you will say to
yourself 'wow, I thought I deleted those files a year ago'.
The best part about CCleaner is that it is very fast.
Check out the Wiki article here.
- CCleaner can be downloaded here.

Poor Microsoft, years too late...
Yeah Microsoft is coming out with its best impersonation of the better browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Opera. IE7 will be the browser of choice for the new Vista OS, there is also IE7 version for Windows XP which can be downloaded here. It will have tabbed browsing. In the Vista OS version only there will be a "Protected Mode", whereby the browser runs in a sandbox with even lower rights than a limited user account. As such, it can write to only the Temporary Internet Files folder and cannot install start-up programs or change any configuration of the operating system without communicating through a broker process.
Blah, blah, blah, yeah I can continue sweeting the pot about IE7 but in the end its just Internet Explorer, just a "7" at the end.
New Microsoft Media Player
