I noticed one day, while I was browsing through the internet, that there is a lot of very unusual software available. I'm not talking about the mundane stuff, the likes of office suites or art programs, I'm talking more about things you usually don't think of, well at least I don't. The first site I came across was R.K. West Consulting. While I was looking through their software offerings I found 'Fortune Teller For Windows'. As unusual as this was. I think their 'I Ching: The Mystic Map of Time and Change might have it beat. I have never seen this programs in action but the names are intriguing. They also have 'Myan Calendar' and 'Personal Tarot'. A site named Spungulas has a page called unusual software. On it they offer a program called 'Numerical Image Spawner' which creates images based on numbers you type in. It sort of reminds me of an old Amiga program. For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, the Amiga was one of the greatest graphic computers of its time. The program is sort of a way to doodle. Now we go to a website that I couldn't determine the name of. It contained some links to interesting offerings like a program called "ViOS The Internet in 3D". The link brought me to the Vios website but unfortunately it didn't work for me. A pity, this program looked very interesting. Got a Horoscope that needs to be interpreted? No problem just get over to Unusual Astrology Software and download 'World of Wisdom', hey you might need this software to see if Mars is in the house of Jupiter or something like that. TerraFly is a truly cooool site. Just type in a zip code or address anywhere in the United States and the program will give you an ariel view of that area. As if the ariel view wasn't enough, you can enlarge or change the view. I particularly enjoyed this. This software is not down loadable but fun to use. There is a site that states it has software to help you find the meaning of your life, the name is registered so I won't repeat it, but you can find the site here. It seems the site will help you discover something in your life called a '7 year cycle'. Charts are available on the site. Are you going to have a baby and need to find a very unusual name? Are you tired of the usual, like John and Mary and just want something distinctive? Well look no further than NamePro. The authors state that NamePro is software to help you generate unusual and appropriate names quickly. But wait, you might need a slogan for something, then you can use Headliner. Happy name and slogan creating. You might have a specific problem and need to know how to solve it, for example is your office bugged or do you have to listen in to a forbidden conversation taking place in a different room? Well if this is the case you can find the solutions to this problems and many more at X Factor publications. Their heading states 'The experts in rare and unusual information that others dare not publish'. Need a special Jigsaw Puzzle, than go to All Jigsaw Puzzles and get that special puzzle of your dreams. Everyone and anyone can get files from the internet containing songs and musical notes from traditional musical instruments, but how many people know where to get musical notes created on junk? Not many I bet. Well this glaring problem has been reported by Electronic Musician. They have an article about Gas Tank Orchestra, a two cd set. Don't let this one slip away. Do you need to have some of your emotions eradicated? Well we found the software that claims to do just that. I don't see a name on the site but they are offering Panacea the emotion erasing program. I tried searching Ebay for unusual software and came across a cd being sold that advertised *FIND**RUIN*DESTROY ANYONE!! LEGALLY!! How can anyone resist? Imagine armies of people with their little CDs and angry because their neighbor's dog pooped on their grass. Mass ruination and character assassinations anyone? Is anyone unhappy with their fonts? Fonts are the letters and symbols you use on your computer. There are many different styles and sizes available for use. A site called Fonts & Things offers original fonts for use to help you spruce up your documents and displays. Believe it or not I have found a program listed on a site called PawSense. This program is advertised as a software program that can prevent cats from typing on your keyboard. You must go to the site to see this. I guess this ends all chances of that great cat novel. If you have a Linux Machine or Amiga Computer you can go to Altervistas where they can protect you from such dangers as mind interference. Simply download Mind Guard and those signals will be jammed. Just for fun take some time and type something like unusual software, weird software or strange software into your search engine. The results you get may just surprise you and peak your curiosity. |
