Minuteur: Because your Time is Important
I love applications that don’t try to do too many things. Most of my favorite applications are relatively simple; they do one thing and they do it well.
Minuteur is a great example of a simple app that does its job. It’s simply a timer. It can count up (perhaps allowing you to track the amount of time allotted to a particular client). It can also countdown (allowing you to remind yourself to get your laundry in an hour).
Bleezer: Free Desktop Blogging Tool
I was looking around the Software for Starving Students website today (which, by the way, is a great collection of useful free apps for anyone, not limited to starving students) when I came across Bleezer, a desktop blogging app.
For those of you who don’t know, a desktop blogging app is an app that allows you to create and edit a blog post on your computer, before uploading it to the internet and publishing it on your blog or webpage. They usually make things like adding images and hyperlinks easier, as well as offering the convenience of being able to write without an internet connection. I’m writing these very words on a Wordpress post-editing page in my web browser, and while Wordpress is lovely and all, I really like being able to write away from the distractions that a web browser offers.
