Sites to keep you occupied
My life decided to be disappointing today. I cried, I plotted to kill and now I have a long-term death stare. I am not going to be a pleasant person to be around this week.
Here are some interesting sites I found today.
Shelfari
This goes out to my fellow bookworms. It’s yet another online book catalogue site, but what a pretty interface! I’ve only added a few books to see what my shelf will look like. I tried importing my library from LibraryThing but it kept hitting some sort of error. I’ll give it some time and try again later. There’s no way I’m going to re-enter everything.
Geni
Here’s an interesting site for those of you who are putting together your family tree. Geni is easy and fun to use. Growing another twig on your family tree only takes one click. You can invite your family and extended family to take control of their profile and add their relatives too. Great way of keeping in touch with relatives and rekindling those family feuds. I am reminded of how little I know about my own relatives. On one side, they’re not living in Kuching. On the other, it’s full of hen-like aunties whose highlight in life is to see you married off and popping out kids. Oh, and the tree is only visible to family members that you invite.
Normal Room
Ever wanted to peek into someone else’s house? Normal Room lets you browse photos of rooms from all over the world, submitted by users. You can submit photos of your own house too.
That’s all.
Giveaway of the Day
Have I not plugged Giveaway of the Day yet?
GotD is awesome. It offers a helpful little software every day, one you’d usually have to pay for, for free. You have 24 hours to download, install and activate it. My desktop is littered with various helpful little utilities that I never knew I needed!
The catch is that you have to install it within the 24 hour window that it’s free. If you uninstall or change computers later on, you can’t reinstall it anymore. Quite a bummer considering that there’s a few software out there that I’d like to keep a hold on, but I guess that’s where you need to buy it. Most of these publishers are little software houses you don’t really hear much about.
If you like games, GotD has a sister site called Game of the Day, or something like that. I can’t verify because I can’t get the sites to load right now… damn quake damage.

And now for something a little more juvenile…
