Dreamyicons – Free Profile Icons for Live Journal

When I started really getting into the whole online social thing it all began with Live Journal and a community I started called Dreamyicons. We held icon contests based on themes. Now the community is just members posting icons that they’ve created..no more contests. So you’ll notice a lot of the icons have themes and you’ll also notice a lot of adult themed icons. I love pin-up art so.. I hope your eyes are not offended by sexy chicks.

Today I dragged all those old icons out of the closet and dusted them off. It’s been a couple years now since I made any new icons. Your free to use them for your journals, websites, Myspace, Twitter profile or what have you.

There are a few app’s, clients and website’s online that I can not live without This is a list of things that make my life at home and work easier..I’ve done this type of post before but a few have changed.

  1. Infranview – image editor, viewer, manager and several other things. This is an amazing program that everyone who uses it loves it. It takes a minute to get used to it but once you do you can’t imagine life with out it. I’ve been using it for 5-6 years..daily. Download Client – Infranview Tutorial
  2. Fotki.com – image hosting provider
  3. FileZila – FTP client
  4. Color Cop – HEX color dropper desktop app (can’t live without)
  5. Clipomatic – Clipboard manager (absolutely can’t live without)
  6. Shareaholic – Social Networking Firefox plugin Shareaholic makes it possible to share, bookmark and e-mail web pages quickly without leaving your browser. (cool and useful)
  7. Semagic Live Journal blogging client – also use as an HTML editor in a hurry.
  8. Windows Live Writer – Blogging client – Posts to multiple blogging platforms
  9. ABC 3GP Converter (converts .AVI movies to .MP4 file format so I can upload movies to my IPod)
  10. Digsby – multiple network chat client I can also post to my Twitter – Checks my Facebook and Myspace updates.
  11. Notepad – write HTML and general blank page for notes and such
  12. Photoshop - We all know what Photoshop does – (can’t live without)
  13. Google Desktop (search for my files, documents, emails and basically anything on my computer)
  14. Gmail – My primary email client. Yep I do not use Outlook at home. I use Gmail.
  15. Wordpress - I use Wordpress to manage and write my Blog – Love it!!
  16. LiveJournal.com – been writing in my journal for 7 years so I guess you can say it is a staple in my online life. Love it. Can’t live without it. Must write in my journal.

– Web 2.0 and grudge free buttons generator!

Make a link button in a snap. It’s Free, easy and the end result looks really nice. I use this when customers call in and need a custom button made instead of doing it in Photoshop which I could do but this is so much faster. Very cool.

Ok this is cool folks..if you always wanted to backup or download your entire live journal but you never knew how or you knew how but your like me didn’t want to sit there and use the LJ export tool which only allows you to download one month at a time..I have been writing in my journal for 7 years so that would take me hours.

ljArchive

What is ljArchive? It’s a Windows-only exporter for LiveJournal. ljArchive is a tool for downloading, browsing, and analyzing journal entries and comments from LiveJournal (or LiveJournal clones). ljArchive is currently available for Windows, and may soon be coming to gtk/Linux. ljArchive allows you to do the following to your journal:

  • Download and navigate a synchronized, local archive of your journal or community.
  • Search through your journal for keywords, and browse through search results immediately.
  • Export your journal into various formats, such as XML, HTML, PDF (in conjuction with LJBook), and MIDI (yes, MIDI!).

Plus you can.. Run custom plugins on your journal. ljArchive comes with the following plugins: Entry Reader – reads your journal entries aloud using text-to-speech technology. Regressive Imagery Analysis – provides a psychological profile of your journal. Word Count – provides a list of the words used in your journal, and their frequency. Post Frequency – graphs the frequency of your posts over time. Comment Count – graphs the number of comments left by users in your journal, and also how many comments you’ve left them. You can also use it to export your entire journal to an .xml file and import it into a wordpress blog! Download ljArchive
