Rescue Your Time With RescueTime

Posted by Waleed Zuberi 17 August, 2008 (2) Comment

On the internet, losing all sense of time isn’t that hard. One link leads to another and suddenly we realize that we’ve spent an hour killing little stick figures in a flash game on some ad-laden site. Hey, a good bout of violence once in a while helps exercise the heart!

When I finally do get off and into the ‘real world,’ I’m asked–and wonder myself–how time passes so quickly. And frankly, the answer is – I don’t know. The interwebs are just that kind of place.

And that is where RescueTime comes in. RescueTime is free time management software that lets you see how much time you spend on the computer and internet, including where you spend it. It logs the time and places you visit on the internet, and can also record usage of regular programs such as a music player or word processor.

Get a 6 Month License Of Eset Nod32 Antivirus For Free

Posted by Saad Ibrahim 10 July, 2008 (50) Comment

Nod32 Antivirus is the known to be best Antivirus but there is a problem, it is not free unlike AVG or Avast which people prefer because they cant afford to pay for the license but now thanks to guys over at My Digital Life you can get a 6 months license for nod32 totally free of cost!

sshot-2

They have got very nice and easy to follow guide with screenshots and all the required info. if you have nod32 already installed on your PC unfortunately you will have to un-install it otherwise you will get an error while installing the the exe file given with the guide but you can backup your Eset nod32 configurations before doing so by going to nod32 main window–>setup tab–>import/export configuration.

This has been tested to be working by me just fifteen minutes ago so hurry up and get your free license before the offer expires!

here’s the guide:

Update: This no longer seems to be working as people are reporting that they are getting an error which says “Failed to apply free active code”
