Jing and Jaidan's Dog

Today's song is: I Got a Feeling .. Black Eyed Peas

From time to time I like to recommend software. Jing is something I use daily, is free, and simply works exceeding well so I highly recommend it. I use it to capture portions of my screen. I have extended desktops and Jing handles it with aplomb. Jing can also create short 5 minute screen recordings but I seldom use it for that as Camtasia (also from TechSmith) does it much better, however it is a commercial product and fairly expensive.

Other free software I use extensively include:

NotePad++ a text editor that is so much better than notepad

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/

Notepad++ is a free (as in "free speech" and also as in "free beer") source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by GPL License.

Based on the powerful editing component Scintilla, Notepad++ is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size. By optimizing as many routines as possible without losing user friendliness, Notepad++ is trying to reduce the world carbon dioxide emissions. When using less CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power consumption, resulting in a greener environment.

Paint.net, a great drawing and paint program

Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for PCs that run Windows. It features an intuitive and innovative user interface with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. An active and growing online community provides friendly help, tutorials, and plugins.

There is an Ikea in Bangkok and sometime ago Jaidan fell in love with Puppy, a stuffed toy dog. We bought it and brought it home and they have been inseparable ever since. Jaidan has lots of stuffed toys, big and small but Puppy has a special place for Jaidan. They sleep together everynight.
