Linkie Winkie

What the hell is Linkie Winkie? I saw it in my Candy Addict logs today. Weird. It says:

Linkie Winkie is a bit of a social experiment and we want to see what happens. We’re not going to tell you much about it, except that its a very altruistic little site and loves to be talked about.

So if you can work out what it does, and get your timing right, then Linkie Winkie might help you out for a while.

So, what the hell is it? Anyone know?

Sternest Meanings

http://www.sternestmeanings.com is a simple anagram site. Give it some text and it replies with an anagram.

  • Myvogonpoetry = Groovy! Empty on!
  • George W Bush = He grew bogus
  • What a way to go = A two why a goat

Pointless, but mildly entertaining for a few minutes. You can also reach it via AIM: (aim id sternestmeanings)

TipMonkies Lives!

TipMonkies, a great site for useful tip and tricks (and one that I write for every now and then) seemed to be dead for the last few months. Martin (the owner/editor) had some serious family problems, but he’s back now and ready to go. He’s already posted some great stuff in the last day or two. Check out TipMonkies if you haven’t already.

Simple, small Windows CD player

I rarely need to listen to an actual audio (Redbook) CD any more since all my audio is in MP3 format, but today I did and I had no app to play it. I knew I had found a really small, non-installable CD player at one point and I found it again today. It’s only 10kb and requires no install. It’s fully functional and actually has a nice interface … amazing for only 10kb. Check it out at Robin Keir’s site. Lots of other cool little apps there too!
