Split large files and put them back together with GSplit

GSplitHave a large file that you need to send to a friend, but don't feel like using YouSendIt or a similar service to get around your email provider's file attachment size limits?

For years, folks have been posting enormous files on Usenet (or storing them on floppy disks) by dividing them up into tiny portions using applications like HJSplit. The problem is that you need to use the same application to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. So if you're trying to send home movies of the kids to your mother over email, you'd better be sure she knows how to use HJSplit if she wants to watch them.

GSplit is a bit more user friendly, since it doesn't require the recipient to install any software. GSplit creates an executable file that will put all of the pieces back together. The program has a few other nifty features as well:
  • Supports batch file splitting (select a few files to split and walk away from your computer for a while)
  • Option to integrate with Windows Explorer allowing you to split files through a right-click context menu
  • Split files by choosing the number of pieces or the size of each piece
Oh yeah, and did we mention that GSplit is free?

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.
