A collection of some of the most useful links I use.

• drop.io – A private place for storing and sharing photos, video, audio, notes, docs, etc. Each is accessible only to those whom you tell exactly where to look. The icing on the cake is that you don’t even need to sign up!

• flickr – My favourite place on the web! Share your photos with the world. Basic accounts are free or for just $24.95 you can get unlimited uploads for a whole year!

• AVG – Free Anti-virus software, updated daily.

• CDBurnerXP – CDBurnerXP is a free application to burn CDs and DVDs, including Blu-Ray and HD-DVDs. It also includes the feature to burn and create ISOs. Despite the name, it’s also supported by Windows 2000/2003 Server and Vista.

• WordPress – An excellent blogging platform.

• Twitter - Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co-workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

• Animoto - Upload your favourite images, add a soundtrack and let Animoto do the rest! Fantastically dynamic video rendering brings your images alive.

• TrueCrypt – Free open-source disk encryption software.

• HostGator – An excellent web host, shared and dedicated servers available at a very reasonable price. In fact, this very page is hosted with them.

• Audacity – Audacity is the best free, open source software for recording and editing sounds.

• Viddler – Upload and host your videos and allow people to comment on them. I use Viddler on my blog!

• ESET NOD32 – The best anti-virus software going, with very little overhead and offered at a reasonable price.

• Defraggler – A really nice defrag tool. Allows you to degrag individual files and folders as well as entire volumes. Nice interface.
