Browser spell checkers

 

First  the Internet made the computer cool by enabling you to see information only either rich or very important person could see before, now web 2.0  made the computer cooler by allowing you to leave comments and interact with those who publish information in other words you write on the net  to  publish information and/or comment on others and here is where we need an spell checker lol and we need it in the browser we use:
For IE7 users you can download
ieSpell which is a free Internet Explorer browser extension that spell-checks text-input boxes on a Web page. Even if your Web application already includes spell-checking functionality, this utility is faster than a server-side solution. Plus, you get to store and use your personal word list across all your applications instead of having to maintain separate ones on each application.
For Firefox 2 users have not problems as this browser has in-line spell checker (after right clicking the first time to download the dictionary to use).

PS: We are having a lot of fun with the daily movie quiz, click here to join us :)

My own movie trivia tournament!

 

I just created my own movie trivia/quiz tournament, you only has to spend around a minute a day to answer 10 questions, this month is for warming up to compete for a beautiful trophy, designed by the talented Xena, on the month of June which will be personalized with your name. Click here to join and to start practicing for the big event on June.

It is almost Friday here in Devil's land so here we go with a movie related joke:

For the first time in many years, an old man travelled from his rural town to the city to attend a movie. After buying his ticket, he stopped at the concession stand to purchase some popcorn. Handing the attendant $2.50, he couldn't help but comment, "The last time I came to the movies, popcorn was only 15 cents." "Well, sir," the attendant replied with a grin, "You're really going to enjoy yourself. We have sound now." lol

PS: Movie Trivia game will be closed on Australian weekends (Friday & Saturday for US & Canada)

A wiki about free online tools

 

A wiki is a computer software often used to create collaborative websites , the best example is the highly successful Wikipedia, now  guess what? I created one, last year, with the goal of having a great directory of free online tools which are useful for your Live Space :

http://live-spaces-tools.wikispaces.com/

If you have not seen it yet, then check it out and let me know your opinion, If you join in then you will be able to add new pages and participate in discussions about the wiki itself or about any free tool. I already added a few   and I will keep adding more down the track. However, it will not become a great and useful resource only with my input but with the effort of all. Thus, any new page contribution and/or linking will be highly appreciated, no only for me but at the end of the day,  for the whole Live Spaces community ;).

In other order of ideas, my cool Space friend Kathy just updated her blog with new information and particularly about a cute Teddy bear of her making. Click here to pay her a visit and if you do then tell her that I sent you ;)

PS: Once again, thanks to Xena for the cool wiki logo :)

Indiana Jones 4 and Brillante Blog Award

 

I love the Indiana Jones films of the 80s and the show in Universal Studios in Florida and LA theme parks are awesome! , guess what? after almost 20 years we have another Indy's film, the number 4 of the series. "Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the Crystal Skull" is set on 1957 , Harrison Ford plays an older Indiana Jones with a grown up son ( Shia Labeouf) and will be released on US Memorial day (Last Monday of May) , 2008 . Karen Allen comes back reprising her role of  Marion Ravenwood of the original movie but now Indy is entangled with Soviet spies that includes Cate Blanchet lol. Well I can hardly wait myself to see it. What about you?

In other order of ideas, the Space One World gave me the award below:

Thanks a lot! I am supposed to pass it to other 7 Spaces and that is a very difficult task so I am giving it to every one who comes here as every time I return a visit I always get amazed of all the hard work and creativity of the Space :)
