List of useful software

I would like to share with you a list of software that I found useful.

1) Skype (www.skype.com) (5 stars)

• Free PC-to-PC voice call, free 1-800 US call and low cost IDD
• Clear and with no delay
• Support conference call (I've tried 4 persons. I use it to call John and Amy at Shanghai)
• My id is alexkkho
  

2) Google desktop (desktop.google.com) (5 stars)

• Just like putting google search in your PC
• Very quick search on files and email on your hard disk
• Search your file content not just filename, very useful!!
  
• Must have if you have a lot of files and poor memory like me
• I use it to find my EBS material on my harddisk
  

3) Picasa (picasa.google.com) (5 stars)

• Free photo album software
• Provide some photo touchup functions, enough for many people already
  
• Must have if you have digital photos (who does not have photos nowadays?)
• Easy to use, if you don't want to configure anything, just put all your photos under /My Photo

4) Firefox (www.mozilla.com) (4 stars)

• Another choice for Internet Explorer
• Free from open source
• Faster than Microsoft products (I have no bias on Microsoft!)
• Different webpages show under multiple tabs, easy to manage than multiple windows

5) Earth (earth.google.com) (4 stars)

• Want to see you house from satellite photos?
• Want to see Forbidden city or Disneyland from above?
• Very educational and interesting!! You'll be amazed!!

I am sure many of you have your favorites, may be you can share your recommendations too by putting in the comment.

What are the gifts God had given you?

Do you know what are the gifts God had given you? You may know from the feedback that people gave you or the responses from your colleagues and friends, or you may know from the results of your work and service at church. Recently, I am reading a book "What are the 10 ways that the turtle could win the rabbit?" (It is a Chinese book and I make up the translated book name). To win, the turtle must know its strength and weakness. You may have taken gifts assessment before, but you may want to check again as time change. It may reveal what God wants you to do for the rest of your life.

There is one online Spiritual Gift Assessment pretty good
