  • While not a “Windows program,” Ninite allows you to queue up and download a lot of the most common software installs you’d make after a fresh install.

    In terms of actual windows programs, I quite like “Everything.” It’s basically a database of all the files on your computer that allows for near instant searching.

    “Space Sniffer” is an excellent utility for finding what takes up a lot of room on your drive.

    “Unidentified flying raw” is a free program that allows the manipulation and conversion of raw picture files. I use it before editing in Gimp, but if you have Photoshop, it’s not necessary.

    “Dark Table” is an acceptable free light room alternative if you have the patience. It’s pretty slow though.


  • If a movie was shot in 3d and the CGI was designed in 3d and the movie was produced for 3d I’ve generally enjoyed them (Avatar, Gemini Man, Alita Battle Angel). If however the 3d is produced by an off shore sweat shot rotoscoping a 2d shot then layering everything over a parallax background that’s an immediate pass.

    I’d love if there was a 3d movie distribution app/platform for VR headsets though. I had to buy the 3d Blu-ray release of a movie, a PC Blu-ray drive, Blu-ray ripping software, then render that to a stereoscopic player and set a VR app to copy my desktop in stereoscopic mode just to watch it. That cost like $100 for a movie, and it seems more people have a quest or some shit then ever had a 3d TV.
