Some useful links I’ve found in the past few weeks:

Zamzar is a free online file conversion tool, no need to download or install software, and it converts a huge range of image, video, document file formats.

If you ever lamented the number of cars on the road with one person in them, then you’ll like TripShare. It’s an Aussie service to get more people sharing their car travel and sharing the costs.

Work on your photos online using Picnik, another service where you don’t need to buy or download any software.

With the crazy amount of content up on the net at the moment, Popurls  is a great way to quickly find the most popular Urls at the moment

MailFreezr is a service that lets you create an email to someone, and then store it for as many years as you want, when it is then sent to the person. You’d want to make sure the recipient’s email address stays the same over the next 10 years..

We need this service in Australia - BookSwim is a netflix style service but for books..pay a monthly fee, get the books posted to you, and then post them back when you’re finished.

Zazz sells on thing, one day at a time, at a discount price.

This is awesome - a way to convert your own document into a magazine

Bloody hard drives

brisbane.jpg I seem to be having an extraodinary amount of hardware problems this last year.

Another hard drive starting displaying bad sector errors, and yesterday stopped working. The upside is I’ve found an excellent free tool that restores partitions, recovers files and works on many different platforms: TestDisk
