Nowadays, being able to type well is a vital skill for just about everybody. If you use the internet, you need to be able to type (to a certain extent, at least) to do nearly anything — post on forums, participate in IRC chats, even just enter search terms for Google. Consequently, since you’re reading this website, you probably have acquired some typing skills already. But if you’re among those who wish to improve their current typing speed, or learn a different keyboard layout (like me), then Klavaro will prove quite useful.

You’re racing along in your flashy new Ferrari Spider, nearing 200 miles per hour. The road ahead leads up a hill — but what a hill! It’s a perfect 45-degree angle! Unable to stop and ponder this geological oddity, you fly on up it, and over the top, sailing spectacularly through the air. And then immediately afterward comes an enormous loop-the-loop! You race up it, too, lose control at the top, spin off, tumble through the air, and land inexplicably intact — only to crash into a brick wall half a second later. This, my friends, is the world of Ultimate Stunts.

If you’re anything like me, you probably find it quite easy to entirely forget things that you’re supposed to do in a day — particularly if your obligations take place in real life, and you’re using the computer. Perhaps you have a dentist’s appointment this afternoon, and just as you’re heading out the door to your doom, you decide to check your email one last time. Now it turns out one of your friends sent you a link to icanhascheezburger.com, and, whether intentionally or by accidental mouse reflexes, you click it. A little later you look at the clock — and realize you’ve just spent two hours looking at pictures of cute cats with hilarious captions, and completely missed your appointment. Considering the nature of the appointment, you might not be too chagrined; but another such incident could be disastrous.

Something must be done about this. You need some way to automatically remind yourself when things need to be done. And KAlarm fills the bill nicely.

Once upon a time, nearly all computers came with a copy of the BASIC language. In fact, Micro-Soft’s first product was a BASIC interpreter for the Altair 8800. The BASIC language was thousands of people’s introduction to programming. It was the perfect tool for the speedy development of simple programs.

But then came the age of the graphical interface, and something new was required. The variant of BASIC that rose to the forefront was Microsoft’s Visual Basic, a language still popular today. It has, however, two major drawbacks: Visual Basic costs money, and it only works with Windows. Three, actually, if you count its great bugginess.

Happily, for freedom-loving Linux users like us, there’s an excellent alternative: Gambas.

There will undoubtedly come a time in your life when it becomes necessary for you to have a look at a .chm file — a Microsoft Windows compiled HTML help document. It’s happened to me multiple times. Nearly all Windows programs use the chm format for their documentation, and some eBooks are chm, too.

But these are Windows help files. What to do if you exclusively run Linux? . . . Fire up KchmViewer!

Asunder is a word meaning “into separate parts; in or into pieces” — a capital name for a CD-ripping program. And, in fact, that’s what it is!

Today’s review is of a graphical audio CD ripper; an application for taking tracks from your CDs, converting them into one of the many digital audio formats commonly used on computers, and saving them onto your hard drive. And it has an extremely simple, efficient interface.

Linux users, by and large, generally use the GIMP for image editing. After all, it’s included with almost every distribution! But when you just want to sharpen a picture a little bit, or rotate it slightly, something simpler could be more handy. Especially for those who run slow or memory-malnourished computers, firing up the GIMP can be a bit of overkill. Why use an 800-pound gorilla when a spider monkey is what you really need? Enter . . . Fotox.

Back in the ’80s, the arcade game Pac-Man was phenomenally popular. So popular, in fact, that it’s become an icon of that decade, and a symbol of video-gaming in general. The game was ported to just about every major micro-computer system, and unofficial ports and copies continue down to the present day — yes, there’s even a version for Linux!
