Recommendations

The following (incomplete) list contains lots and lots of stuff that I like and that I want to let other people now about. This includes all types of software, comics, movies and much more.

Android Apps
Title Description
Gentle Alarm 

"An alarm clock shouldn't shell-shock you out of your dreams." says the author of Gentle Alarm which attempts to wake the Android phone owner during light sleep. Doing so is supposed to make one feel a lot more relaxed which also makes it less likely to hit the snooze button in panic.

IRC for Android 

IRC for Android™ is a multi-server IRC client for Android. Some of the features I particularly like are the ignore list, multi-charset support, SASL support and UTF-8 detection.

SwiftKey Keyboard 

SwiftKey makes touchscreen typing faster, easier and more personalized by combining auto-correction, word prediction and swipe input into one of the most popular Android keyboard apps. Cloud storage of your learned typing behavior is optional.

Tasker 

Tasker is probably the solution for automation on the Android platform. It allows the Android user to define triggers which will cause one or more actions to be performed. A possible scenario would be setting your ringer volume to zero once your phone finds the company WiFi network nearby.

Several hundred actions are built-in and even more can be added using plug-ins.

UI Shopping list 

OI Shopping List makes it easy to create and manage checklists. One can easily add items to a list, check the item off, and remove it from the list. The application can track separate prices for each store, and features a high level of customization. Font size, sort order, list columns, and list cleanup behavior are all settings controlled by the user. All of these features are brought together in a crisp layout that is customizable through a variety of themes.

Comics
Title Description
Twokinds 

After losing his memory to a mysterious battle, Trace Legacy, a former leader for an organization of mages called the Templar, finds himself in the company of Flora, a girl of strange, tiger-like qualities. As Trace gradually begins to re-learn what he once knew, he soon discovers that Flora belongs to a race of people who are enemies of his kind. As friendship confects with racial differences, Trace and Flora find themselves in a situation more critical than either of them can imagine.

Firefox Add-ons
Title Description
Adblock Plus 

Annoyed by adverts? Troubled by tracking? Bothered by banners? Install Adblock Plus to regain control of the internet and change the way that you view the web. You can also choose from over forty filter subscriptions to automatically configure the add-on for purposes ranging from removing online advertising to blocking all known malware domains.

It's sometimes funny to hear other people complain about annoying ads on websites and you have no idea what they are talking about. Combined with filter subscriptions, Adblock Plus can filter anything.

The NoScript Firefox extension provides extra protection for Firefox, Seamonkey and other mozilla-based browsers: this free, open source add-on allows JavaScript, Java and Flash and other plugins to be executed only by trusted web sites of your choice (e.g. your online bank), and provides the most powerful Anti-XSS protection available in a browser.
