9.16.98 - GnomeNEWS

Okay, so now that this American presidential scandal has blown over, can we get on with our lives? Please?! I love how the Internet is a source of up-to-the-second information, but when big things happen, big sites feel the crunch. How many of you couldn't get your work on the Internet done last Friday when the Starr Report was released to the public? Talk about a traffic jam...

The real scandal is how everyone jumped on the web and there just wasn't enough bandwidth to go around. Some of us who need to use the Internet for our jobs lost precious hours, while the rest of the world was trying to download Clinton's pants. Hopefully, by the time Internet IV rolls around, we won't have to worry about 56k modem connections and inundated servers.

Do I care? Not really. Do I have an opinion? Yes. I think the Internet is ready for a major upgrade. At least, until the next scandal arrives.

GnomePROGRAM

Planet.Clock v1.0 [274k] FREE W9x/NT4

How much time do you really need? Like, do you need to know what time it is in Brisbane & Caracas simultaneously? Sure, you could add numbers up in your head all day long, but wouldn't it be easier just to use Planet Clock? It uses Windows' Time Zone Information to display as many clocks as you want on your Desktop (with configurable fonts & colors). For you International Sales Coordinators and multi-national businesspeople, this might be a godsend. Make sure you're calling at the "right time" or you might lose a potential customer. NOTE: You can download this program ANYTIME, day or night.

Tumi's Wacky Cursors

Are you tired of your mouse pointer yet? Sure, you could animate it with a couple of generic animated cursors, but why not get wacky with it? For the best sets of animated cursors, you can't go wrong with Tumi. My favorite set is the Metallic one, but he's got four others from which you may choose. Heck, download them all! Some will even replace your "finger pointer" cursor (in IE). Colorful, creative, and free! And if that's not insane enough for you, then you've got bigger problems.

MURL Online Bookmark Manager

Bookmarks are a necessary evil, but what if you want to have the exact same bookmarks on your work AND home machines? Well, you could waste time keeping those two computers in sync, but what if you aren't using either of those computers? Like a friend's machine, or another terminal? That's exactly why you should be using MURL to manage your bookmarks. You can access and manage the same set of bookmarks no matter how you get online. It's easy to do--and it's free! Not to mention, the site owner is from Iowa, too--the Silicorn Valley!

FONT: PacFont [21k]

Wakka wakka wakka... are you ready to catch Pac Man fever again? I can't say that I wasted too many quarters on this game, though... I couldn't get past the second level until I was in college. Of course, I can't remember a time when I nailed the first stage in Donkey Kong, either. Those barrels will haunt me forever!

GnomeTIP

Does your neck hurt after a long day at the computer terminal? Make sure your monitor is sitting correctly. If you have to look up or tilt your head backwards to see anything on the screen, then you NEED to make some adjustments. If anything, you should be looking DOWN on your monitor (so your gaze and head are tilted slightly downward). This will help more than you'll ever know. Posture is important. And take a break every few hours, too! Look who's talking...
