A few days ago I reviewed the classic real time strategy game Transport Tycoon Deluxe or TTD. TTD is considered by many to be abandonware since no organisation or individual claims ownership. Because of this, many versions of the game are available for free download online. However, none of these versions include any new features and so the zealous community of TTD fans have made an open source enhancement of Transport Tycoon called openttd.
Medical Scrubs

It is always interesting to see the unique ways in which people use the Internet. While there are many general online clothing stores one particular store is designed for a unique market. Scrubs Gallery sells medical uniforms, or Scrubs as they are called, directly to nurses and other medical staff.
The first thing that strikes a visitor to this site is the simple yet attractive design. Buyers can browse the selection using the left side menu or narrow down their choices using the quick search options. Scrubs Gallery features a wide selection of solid and printed tops and pants as well as lab coats. They have clothing for both male and female medical staff. An online size chart helps you decide which size is right for you. They even have a 30 day money back guarantee which is good to have if you make a mistake and buy the wrong size, or just change your mind. They also claim to save you money by offering lower prices. Scrubs Gallery is definitely an option worth looking at for medical scrubs.
Server to Server file transfer script
It is often necessary for a web master to transfer files from one site to another.Whether it be to install open source software or to move a site, the ability to transfer a file directly from one web server to another can be a real time saver.
Theme license changes
Or more correctly the inclusion of a license. Until today I hadn’t included a license in my themes but I decided it was time to do so now. All my themes have a specific license. This license is not pure open source but it does allow free use and redistribution for most purposes. To read it just download a theme and see the license.txt file.
Two free downloads to an advertisement free web surfing experience
Nobody likes advertisements on websites. Big animated banners and flash ads slow down the entire web surfing experience and they can be a real pain especially if you are still stuck on dial up like me. Fortunately there is a simple and safe solution. You just need to download two things and you’ll never suffer a pop up or see an ugly banner again.
- Firefox web browser – Firefox includes pop up and pop under ad blocking and an extendable architecture that allows you to add functionality to it. There are hundred of free firefox extensions available. Firefox also supports tabbed browsing which allows you to open multiple web pages under different tabs in a single Firefox window. This helps reduce onscreen clutter
- Adblock Plus – This is one of the most popular firefox extensions and with good reason. Adblock removes ads according to filters specified in a blacklist file. You can specify your own filters and/or subscribe to publicly available optmised blacklists. Your subscriptions are automatically updated thereby ensuring that you rarely see any ads.
Together these two downloads can stop almost all ads.
