Using Facebook To Build Your Wedding Flower Business
Smart Software
One of the blogs that I read is “Right Wing Techie,” from the CEO of Stardock. I didn’t really expect to have much in common, except that he and I are both software entrepreneurs.
Over time, I noticed that our views were remarkably similar. We are both socially on the left and fiscally on the right, a view commonly described as libertarian, despite the fact that we may not actually identify with the Libertarian Party.
I wonder if the software community is more homogeneous than it appears. Although the software industry tends to split evenly into the Republican and Democratic camps, this is only because the common values and interests of the industry are not espoused entirely by either group.

How to Create a Bulk Software Installer
The Super Fast Way to Set Up a New PC
OVERVIEW: You will learn how to install dozens of awesome, free applications on your computer in 5 simple steps. No money, 200 Point IQ, or Back-Breaking Labor required!
Once you get past the excitement of getting a new computer, then the aggravation sets in. You have to download and install all of the software that you need. This can take hours and hours even if you’re organized.
You can spare yourself so much of the pain involved with this process by using a bulk software installation tool. I recently found a tool that creates an installer that automates the process of installing multiple applications.
Ninite.com gives you a selection of close to 100 free or open source applications that can be added to a 1-click installer. Some of these are my absolute favorite apps of all time. (Firefox, Skype, Digsby, Notepad++, DropBox, Evernote, and many more.)
Follow the steps below to create and run a Bulk Software Installer.
UPDATE: Wanna see how to do something very similar for Mac OS computers? Click here to see The Quickest Way to Set Up Your New Mac. (Jan. 5, 2011)
Creating the Installer
Open your browser and go to http://ninite.com.
You will be able to select from a large collection of free/open source applications that are grouped into several categories.
Select the checkbox next to all of the applications that you want to include in your installer.
After you select all of the applications that you want to include in your installer, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the button.
You will see the Download page. This page will display all the icons for all of the applications that you selected for inclusion in the installer. The click here to change apps link will return you to the previous page, where you can add or remove applications.
Your download should begin automatically. Use the click here to retry the download link if your download does not begin right away.
You can use the permanent link to get a link to the installer download page. This is convenient if you want to share this collection of apps with other users or computers.
Installing Your Collection of Applications
You can either save the installer file to your computer and launch it, or let it run automatically from your browser.
Saving the Installer to Your Computer
The installer’s file name will include the applications that you selected.
Double click the installer file when it has finished downloading.
Automatically Running the Installer When it Finishes Downloading
If you elected to automatically run the installer when the download finishes, you will see the following window.
Click the button to launch the installer.
This is actually the last action that you are absolutely required to take. Everything else runs on its own.
Monitoring the Installation Process
The installer file does not actually contain each applications installation files. It downloads them when it is run.
Click the Show details link to monitor the progress of your installation process.
You will see the list of applications that you included in the installer. You will be able to follow along and see which applications have been downloaded and installed.
When all of your applications have been installed, you will see the following confirmation.
Click the button to exit the installer.
That’s it, all of your applications are installed and working as if they were each installed manually.

The following video tutorial shows how to Install Multiple Applications using a Bulk Software Installer.
What Applications Do I Bundle?I put a huge list of applications by category at the bottom of this article. (I didn’t want to break up the flow with a huge list.) You can also check out one of my lists of my favorite free applications:

Create Icons the Easy Way with SimplyIcon
Do you enjoy using custom made icons for your computer system but want a quick and simple way to make them yourself? Now you can with SimplyIcon!
Note: SimplyIcon requires the .NET Framework (version 2.0 or higher).
Setup
The is no install required with SimplyIcon. All that you need to do is unzip the two files (SimplyIcon.exe & FreeImage.dll), place them in a folder location of your choice, and create a shortcut for the program. This is the window that you will see once you start SimplyIcon.
To create custom icons, just drag-and-drop the image into SimplyIcon’s window area. The website states that SimplyIcon can create 128 x 128, 32 x 32, 24 x 24, and 16 x 16 size icons, but in one of our tests it was able to create a 48 x 48 pixels icon.
SimplyIcon creates a single icon (largest size possible depending on original file size) with the same name as the original. It will place the new icon into the folder or location where you have the original image stored.
Note: You will need images that are at least 128 x 128 pixels or larger to create nice “128 x 128” size icons.
Our New Icon Results
Here is our new 128 x 128 pixels icon…
And our new 48 x 48 pixels icon.
Conclusion
SimplyIcon may not be the most elaborate icon making program out there, but it is certainly a nice little program to have around if you are needing to make icons quickly and easily.

Do you want to extract the main domain of a URL? Here is a function that works well and can be modified easily. I found this function while searching for a good Regular Expression to fulfill such result.
