Every so often, I reinstall my computers. One of the biggest hassles of this, is installing all the software I use. I recently discovered a simpler way to do so; Ninite. You simply go to the website, check the boxes for what software you need, then download the installer.
Having downloaded the installer, you start it, then leave it to its business. It automatically downloads and installs all the software you have specified. That’s it. You’re done!
The list of software isn’t terribly long yet, but they are adding new software all the time.

Find alternatives to the software you’re using
I use a lot of different software, and I am always looking to try out similar software to see if I can find something better. However, finding an alternative to, let’s say Sony eBook Library, isn’t always as easy as one would like.
Enter AlternativeTo.net. A simple search for eBook Library nets us five pages of programs (15 programs to a page).
One problem I can see right now, is that it doesn’t always display relevant hits. Still, it’s a lot better than the hit-and-miss that you get if you don’t try a lookup.
