Want to make a pdf file ? Cannot find any free pdf making software ?

Adobe Acrobat Reader can only open PDF files, but you cannot make PDF files using it. And Adobe Writer professional costs a lot of money. So, here is a list of free options to make PDF files from Word .doc documents or any file which can be printed ( there is a software which acts like a printer and makes pdf files instead of printing )

If you want to just quickly convert a Microsoft Word DOC file to a PDF, then the easiest would be to use an online free Word to PDF conversion facility. Here is a bunch of good sites which convert WOrd files to Adobe Acrobat PDF files. (PDF might be required to some DTP printers, many university projects, etc)

Tell me how it went. This site is www.fundazone.com

This is what they say :

Have you ever wondered just how fast your network connection is? Not just how fast the modem is connected at, but how much data you can actually get? Does your internet connection sometimes seem slower than normal? Forget hacking the registry or using counter-intuitive tools to get the information you want - enter the world of AnalogX NetStat Live (NSL)! NSL is a small, easy to use TCP/IP protocol monitor which can be used to see your exact throughput on both incoming and outgoing data - whether you’re using a modem, cable modem, DSL, or even local network! NSL doesn’t just stop there, it lets you see how quickly your data goes from your computer to another computer on the internet; it even will tell you how many other computers your data must go through to get there! But wait - there’s more! NSL also graphs your CPU usage of your system! This can be especially useful in identifying if your computer is what’s slowing things down, or if it’s your internet connection.

Well, its as good as it says. NetStat shows the current, average and maximum speed of your incoming and outgoing connections. It’s free and quick to download.

It even has a Tray Icon and a minimizes to tray. But the part I didn’t like was that it had to be installed. That caused an error in installation because I was not in administrator mode in this computer. And it doesn’t show your IP address if you are behind a proxy server.

It could also have been better with a stay on top option, but still it’s quite a neat little software to have around.

Tip : To install a software when not in administrator account, changing the installation directory from C:\Program files to anything else ( D:\Program files )  might work.

Did you hear ? Wordpress 2.4 is cancelled ! Or skipped actually

Welcome Wordpress 2.5 !!!

In light of the big changes happening in the codebase and admin section,
we're going to push back the next release to be aimed for early March.

This is the timeframe when 2.5 was originally schedule for, so we're
treating the originally planned 2.4 in December as a skipped release, as
a result of both the holidays and the large changes which we weren't
able to start on until late October.

There's some good stuff in the oven, and we don't want to rush it.

The new release shall be called 2.5. Various official docs and roadmaps
will be updated in due course.
