$500 of project management software for $5

ontime 5 bucksAxosoft is conducting an experiment in social marketing, so here's to it: they are giving away their OnTime 2006 app for a mere $5 donation to the American Red Cross. Even if you're no fan of the ARC (I know some people aren't, they have their reasons), this is a pretty sweet deal. We're talking software that sells for $500 discounted 99%. So what? OnTime is a respectable bug tracking and project management tool, with all the requisite reports and tracking tools, some cool email alerts, and a web UI version. Those portal pages are gold when dealing with outside contractors or clients, I tell ya. Give the demo video a look and see if the $5 is sweet enough for your taste. Get busy though, because the offer only lasts until February 24, and is only available via blog links. Thanks to Kevin who sent this in.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
