Install Multiple Essential Windows Apps Easy

So about 90 seconds ago I learned about this website and knew I had to write a quick blog about it.  The site is called Ninite Easy PC Setup.  This is a website that allows you to download multiple popular Windows applications, from web browsers to anti-virus software, and install them all at once!!  This is a HUGE, HUGE time saver.

You look through their selection of software, check off the programs you want and it will create a custom bundle from your selection and wrap it all into one easy install package for you to download.  When you run the installer, it installs all the apps, one by one, automatically without user intervention and without any spam “extras” that might come along with some of them (like browser toolbars that do more harm than good).

Check it out at www.ninite.com

Ubuntu Linux To Sport A New Signature Font

Back to regular font land now, I just wanted to add instructions for Windows and Ubuntu users on how to install this font.

If you are a Windows user, all you have to do is copy the TTF file into your c:\windows\fonts folder and that should be it.

If you use Ubuntu, save the file to your desktop.  Then right-click on it and click “Open With Font Viewer”.  This will pop up:

Unlike my window, yours will have a “Install” button in the lower right corner for you to click on.  Just click Install and you’re all done.
