some internet and html stuff
an html editor
hey, it's the only i know about, ok?!!?? but it will knock your socks off!!
Arachnophilia by Paul Lutus
freeware does not get any better than this! once in a while i get lucky and discover a
program that is truly useful. arachnophilia is truly useful; i'll even learn to spell it
correctly one of these days. it also has a gazillion features, and you can use six different
browsers to preview the pages that you are working on. but this is the best part, it is very
easy to use. for some reason, there was this gnawing hole in my life. i was incomplete, empty,
and vacant. as i sat around engaged in self-pity, it hit me; i needed a web page! i knew
absolutely nothing about html; but i had arachnophilia and a dummies book, so i set off on
my adventure and you are now viewing the treasures that i have discovered (hmmm, this is
starting to sound silly).
ok then, how about a screenshot?
basically, arachnophilia is easy to setup, easy to use, easy to
navigate, easy to do anything you want to do. it is not a WYSIWYG, you still need a basic
understanding of html and i like it this way. i wouldn't trust any program to magically
produce error free web pages for me. arachnophilia is very intuitive, so it is easy to use
(have i mentioned that it is easy to use?) even though you might think that html is just
another four letter word. and i have no idea where i am going with this "review" right now.
i'm a novice html'er, and the capabilities of this program give my mind those shooting-pain
brain freezes. you'll just have to get it and discover arachnophilia for yourself.
i should also mention that arachnophilia IS careware. the monetary cost is zero, zip, zilch,
nada, in other words free. careware is a cool concept.
read this for the author's definition of careware.
basically, do unto others as you would want them to do unto you. treat others as you want to
be treated by them. if you treat other people with common courtesy and respect, then you will be
treated with common courtesy and respect. help others and others will help you. how many
different ways do you want me to say this??!!!! fer cryin' outloud,
do the right thing for once in your life and stop your whining!
those sharp shrills are making my ears bleed! okokokok, the author's definition of careware
is a tad different, but the point is to start caring about your fellow humans. HEY! ARE YOU
LISTENING TO ME. NOW DON'T YOU GO SCROLLING PAST THIS! WAIT! GET THAT MOUSE AWAY FROM THE SCROLL
BAR! I KNOW WHAT IS GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND RIGHT NOW! BOOORRRRIIINNG!
well, at least think about it. ok?
an html reader and html to text converters...

do you do what i do? i use the 'save page/frame as' option a lot while i am out there getting
down and dirty on the web. if i download a file, i will also save the page that described the
program (in the same directory as the file of course, really i do),
so i can remember just what-the-heck-it-was i had downloaded, when i actually
get around to using it four months later. i used to double-click on the saved html file and
wait for an eternity while my browser loaded, just to view it for 5, maybe 10 seconds to
refresh my mind on why this particular file is using up my hard disk space.
this was the state of my sorry life until...i stumbled upon some australian guy's site
and started using his ViewHtml viewer. i fell in love (hopefully he has a single daughter,
otherwise people might start asking questions).
you gotta love this program, and is it ever
fast!! blink your eyes and it is done.
i have associated all of my htm and html files to be
opened with this. what you get is a dos window with the converted file in it where you can
scroll up and down to find the information that you are looking for fast. you can search/find
text strings, open another file, open the file in your default browser (if you so choose),
view the source code of the page, AND, and this is a big AND, you can save the html file as
a text file with all of the html code stripped away. AND...ViewHtml does a good job of
converting the html file into a nicely formatted, readable text file. did i say i was in love?
hey! no snickering! did i also mention the words free and freeware? thought so.
my life was blissfully content...until...until that fateful day when i found the freeware
program web2text. i fell in love again. my wretched heart was torn in two, rent in half as i was
swept away with its ease of use, speed, and effectiveness of the html conversions to text files
that was being displayed right before my very eyes. choose one, ten, twenty htmls files, it
matters not to web2text. they are all converted to separate text files with quiet efficiency,
stripped of their html code into readable, formatted text, ready for printing. but its sole
purpose is html conversions, do i replace my first love with this new love? the pangs of
despair were tormenting the depths of my soul as i pondered the choice i had to make: ViewHtml
or web2text. it seemed as if a million demons were ripping apart my heart, piece by piece,
taunting me and mocking my pitiful existence. 'these issues do matter' i would scream back;
but the demons only taunted me more. why must i choose? why? my mind clouded with a
whirlwind of emotions. i could barely log on, much less eat or sleep.
fortunately though, as if fate played her hand, my gypsy friends paid me a visit and
restored peace-of-mind to my shattered existence. yes, i can use them both. they both serve
different functions for the different situations in my life. they each have value and both can
play vital roles in my life. there is enough love for both. i bid my gypsy friends goodbye,
and decide i really should get a girlfriend.

download CurrentIP by Information Management Specialists, Inc. - 934KB zipped
have you ever needed to know what your ip address is?
do you even know what ip stands for?
are you assigned a dynamic address everytime you log on? have you ever wondered if you
have been assigned the same address more than once by your provider. and just who is
this provider anyway? are we involuntarily involving ourselves in some world domination
conspiracy which keeps the vast majority of the users of this enchanting
and alluring new electronic technology in the dark about a simple request: what
is my address?
[umm..sorry. i'll pay more attention to sentence structure in the future. really, i will.]
well, before i totally alienate myself anymore with senseless babble, let me say that
CurrentIP is freeware, works as advertised, and is incredibly easy to use.
just click on the top button and your current internet protocol address magically
appears. the bottom button allows you to copy and paste your address anywhere that
you need it. it's a neat little program and it's free. life is sweet!
[[the above image is a screenshot for CurrentIP]]
download bobbo ip - 57.6KB zipped 
you know, the internet is a strange place. this guy sends me an email with a short note saying that he could write a program that did the same
thing ((as the above current IP)) but be alot smaller. and then the next day, i received bobbo ip. i never knew his name, but i have his program
and it works! what more do you want. no install, just double click the executable file, and folks, it is small! a mere 57KB. now that's a program!!!!
download it and enjoy! now for any of you kind folks out there who are paying attention, you are probably shaking your head and saying to yourself...
"he actually accepted an executable file from a stranger?!?!?" well, yes i did, but not without thoroughly checking it first. i have used it and my brother
has used it many times over the years. it is safe, and rather pleasurable to use since it is small and simple. that's the best kind of freeware!
award page link!!!
mikey's award from mary beth!! very cool indeed!
DO I NEED MORE EMAIL? I'LL LET YOU DECIDE. I CAN'T MAKE UP MY MIND ANYMORE.
IT IS CLOUDED OVER WITH TOO MANY CHOICES AND ALL I WANT IS SOMEONE TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO! LIFE WOULD BE SO MUCH EASIER.
SO TELL ME WHAT TO DO ALREADY!
