Create a simple webpage fast and free with Jottit

by Chris Gilmer Sep 18th 2007

If you have ever had the need to create a quick and dirty webpage for a last minute party, or even to provide more information for the item you are listing for sale on Craigslist, Jottit could be your savior.

Users start off on the plain and simple Jottit home page. All that is provided is a textbox where users can input any text they wish. When you click "Create a page," text will then show up on an editable page in a wiki-like format. From there, pages can be edited and revised as well as marked private, public (viewers would require a password to edit it) or open so that anyone can edit and view it as they wish. Jottit then provides a unique URL in which the page can than be accessed.

It doesn't stop there however. Users can then customize things even further with Jottit's settings. Users are given the option of creating a full website with multiple pages and a URL that is easier to remember. i.e. http://downloadsquad.jottit.com/ with numerous subpages that have images, video and anything else that can be accessed with an embedding code option to create a better user experience and more robust web presence.

Freedisk - just copy the embed code from youtube, or any online service and paste it into the body of the Jottit webpage! works awesome!

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
