FARR Plugins and Aliases / Farr Alias: Ixquick & Startpage Search
« on: March 12, 2012, 11:57 PM »
This is an alias to search using Ixquick and Startpage. They pride on being the most private search engines at the moment. To know more about their services, this post by Edvard may be helpful.

install info
download the zipped file and extract the contents into Farr's sub-folder '\AliasGroups\Installed' or into '\AliasGroups\MyCustom'. Windows 7 users might need to check in the "My Documents" folder instead of the app folder.

if Farr is running in the background, you may need to open the Options dialog once for Farr to activate the alias.




usage info
to use the alias, simply type sp, ix or ixquick followed by your query.

tip: use Ctrl+Alt+ Enter to open both websites at the same time.

DC Gamer Club / Microsoft Flight Simulator - Free!
« on: March 04, 2012, 01:42 AM »
found it via Gizmo's, this is a great piece of news for flight sim fans!

... It has a new name (just Microsoft Flight), and it's free. In its new incarnation, you play it as an online game, and the adventure takes place in and around Hawaii.  Other planes and environments are, or will be, available but these will be optional paid-for extras.

Before you can play, you'll need to download the Windows client for Microsoft Flight.  From my testing, this seems to work best from Internet Explorer.  Also, note that you'll need a decent games-spec graphics card in your PC, so check the requirements on the web site carefully.  It also requires Windows 7.

in light of the recent indie bundles, this is a tongue-in-cheek attempt to introduce some indie freeware as well.

bit-gamer.net recently did a research about micro-transactions that are becoming prevalent in today's games. quite an interesting article since more companies are opting for this model. the article also mentions DLC (downloadable contents) but didn't explore it that much.

Zombie apocalypse is always a fascinating (albeit fictional) subject. Lifehacker rehashes some of its best tips to survive a zombie onslaught for a list of "top ten" tips.

Over the years, we've shared a ton of tips for keeping yourself safe and healthy during an emergency. Here are some of our favorite clever survival tricks.

Okay, so these hacks aren't exclusive to zombie-related emergencies, but let's be honest: it's the one disaster we all know is inevitable. Regardless of the emergency at hand, these tips can keep you alive when disaster strikes.

after suffering much apathy under Yahoo!, Delicious has now been acquired by the founders of YouTube. i happened to receive an email inviting me to move my bookmarks to the new service, Avos. this is just a heads-up in case anyone else still uses Delicious' service.
