The problem about working during August is that it seems that the whole world is on holiday except for you. Yes, we had a busy week with some exciting announcements, starting off with the new World of Warcraft expansion pack (can’t wait to lay my hands on it!), a trial version of the new iWork suite for Mac and even some rumours about the first service pack for Windows Vista.
We know most of you are on enviable holiday trips, so we couldn’t help dedicating some posts to helpful software apps for safe travelling. Tom put together a list of the best GPS mobile tools, while Tony hunted down some useful programs for tourists and Cyril made trips abroad easier with an excellent collection of translation apps. If you don’t feel like getting up from the couch you can always follow James’s adventures in Google Sightseeing – this week’s chapter covers Australasia.
But travelling is by no means the only activity for summer. It’s a perfect time for some home refurbishing as well, conveniently helped by these decorating software apps. Summer is also the time of the year where you tend to spend more time with your family, like it or not. Luckily enough, Tony found some games to make these family meetings more bearable.
Last, but not least, I’d like to mention Tom’s great list of free alternatives to Adobe products. It may help me save a lot of money, so hopefully next August I will be on a happy holiday instead of working!
