DOWNLOAD: SilentAIM

Do you use AIM? I do, but one huge problem I’ve found with AIM is the way it handles its notification sounds – there’s no easy way to simply mute just the AIM sounds. As far as I can tell, your options are to mute all system sounds (so you’ll miss the “new mail” and other legitimate system sounds) or you can go to Control Panel > Sounds and remove the WAV associated with each AIM event; this will cause the PC speaker to beep, which makes this option useless.

A couple of years ago, I was watching a movie on my PC and for some reason the movie’s sound level was really low. Naturally, I turned up the sound on Windows Media Player and my PC speakers… so when my missus logged on to AIM and sent me a message THE AIM SOUND WAS THIS LOUD! It shattered the windows in my room, set off car alarms for blocks, made my ears bleed, etc., etc. So this is why I created SilentAIM – a tiny little “program” that instantly mutes the AIM sounds on your PC. It requires no executable file or Registry jiggery-pokery – in fact, all SilentAIM does is unpack some “blank” WAV files (with the extension .SIL) to your AIM\Sounds directory, along with a batch file that swaps the extensions of your existing WAV files and the silent WAVs when you click on the SilentAIM desktop icon! The AIM sounds can be “muted” or “un-muted” at any time while using AIM; your SilentAIM settings will remain in effect until you change them back. (You might need to reinstall SilentAIM after upgrading AIM itself though).

DOWNLOAD: Free eBook!

Chestertonjimcofer.com is now in the publishing business! OK, not really – but I am proud to offer one of the greatest works of the English language – G.K. Chesteron’s Orthodoxy – in eBook (PDF) format. Chesterton is one of the few Christian thinkers who is admired and quoted equally by liberal and conservative Christians, and even by many non-Christians. Orthodoxy remains one of the greatest works of any of the Christian apologetics, especially since it defends orthodoxy without resorting to endless quoting of the Scriptures or Church doctrine. You may download the file here. (NOTE: this is an unzipped PDF, approximately 480KB in size).

DOWNLOAD: What did he say?

Shepard SmithHere’s Fox News’ Shepard Smith’s infamous on-air flub during a story about Jennifer Lopez. The story was about how fake her “Jenny from the block” phase was, and how her childhood neighbors in the Bronx didn’t care for her any more. He was supposed to say her neighbors would “rather give her a curb job than a block party”… only he said that they’d rather give her a curb job instead of… another kind of job! Even though the clip is a couple of years old, it’s *still* funny every time I see it! And now you can too, by downloading the file here. (NOTE: file is a 1MB zipped WMA).

DOWLOAD: Dear God… Make It Stop!

Barbie Girl!Your parents loved you, cared for you, fed and clothed you, took you to the doctor when you were sick, bought you a cake and presents on your birthdays, and sent you to school. But now you’re a big girl – off to college and away from parental supervision for the very first time. What better way to celebrate than by tarting yourself up and lip synching to Aqua’s “Barbie Girl”! This clip is *such* a train wreck – on one hand, you want to heap scorn and derision on this poor girl. On the other hand, you know she probably made it for her first college boyfriend, and now that they’ve broken up, he thought he’d get a laugh by posting it on the Internet. Oh well – no matter – it’s out there now! Download the file here. (NOTE: file is a 6.5MB zipped WMA).

DOWNLOAD: Pat O’Brien Is A Coked-Up Pervert!

Pat O'BrienOK, so maybe jimcofer.com is the last site on the entire Internet to get the news about this, but hey – better late than never, right? It seems that Pat O’Brien – famed sportscaster and host of The Insider and former host of Access Hollywood – has a wee bit of a problem with alcohol, cocaine and sexual harassment. It appears that Pat once harassed a woman via voicemail, repeatedly making obscene requests and telling her what nasty things he wanted to do with her – including getting it on with another female friend of O’Brien’s and “getting some coke”. Of course, this woman wasn’t stupid – she recorded all of his voicemails – which have leaked onto the Internet and can be downloaded here. (NOTE: file is a 2.4MB zipped WMA). Let this be a lesson to all the would-be sleazebags out there – be careful who you harass!

DOWNLOAD: Glenn Danzig Fights Like A Girl!

DanzigI don’t have any background on this clip, but it made the rounds some time ago. It seems that infamous jerk Glenn Danzig got into an argument with someone associated with his tour – a roadie, a security guy… somebody. Danzig pushed him, so the guy hauled off and smacked him… and then Glenn fell to the floor like a scared little girl! This video is TOO FUNNY!!! The file is 9.55MB, is zipped and is an MPEG-1 file, so it should be viewable on just about everyone’s computer without any codec downloads! Download it by clicking here. CHECK IT OUT!

Transition (Almost) Complete…

Hey everybody!

Well, the transition from the old FrontPage site to WordPress is almost complete. The old site is dead, and all links to it have been removed from the site. Around 85% of the old site’s content has either been moved to WordPress or has been archived; check out the Old Site Archive link in the sidebar for an index of older pages that didn’t make the move to WordPress put are still around in a stripped down FrontPage format. All I really have to do now is convert several pages from the old “Critics Corner” section to the Archive and create a bunch of posts from the old “Downloads” page and I’m done!

You’ll also noticed that I’ve tweaked the front page a bit. There’s now a handy “print this” link for every post, which generates a printer-friendly version of the post in question. I’ve also added the IM Online status widget to the sidebar; this lets you know if I am online via AIM or Yahoo! Messenger. If the widget says I’m online, just click on the AIM or Yahoo! icon to start a chat with me.

That’s about all for now. I hope to have the conversion absolutely completed sometime this weekend (or perhaps Monday).

Have a GREAT weekend!

Your Faithful Webmaster!

REVIEW: “Amélie” DVD

What: A 2-DVD set of the 2001 Jean-Pierre Jeunet film
Where: Stores Everywhere!
How Much: $29.99 MSRP; I paid $19.95 at Wal Mart

Ameile

It’s rare to hear the phrase “blockbuster French film”, but last year Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Amélie stormed America’s shores to become one of the top-grossing foreign-language films in U.S. history. And it’s not hard to see why – Amélie is without a doubt one of the sweetest movies of all time. The achingly adorable Audrey Tautou plays Amélie Poulain, a shy and sheltered young girl who remains perpetually single. We see the world through the innocent lens that is her heart, a world in which she tries to fix the problems of all of those around her. Whether trying to pull her widowed father out of his self-imposed exile, bringing together two lonely people at the café where she works, bringing a invalid neighbor out of his shell or exacting her revenge on a green grocer who’s mean to his slow (but sweet) assistant, Amélie’s quixotic mission of spreading happiness forms the basis of the film. Then – thanks to a chance encounter with a beautiful stranger – she realizes that her own life needs the same love she’s spent so much time and effort spreading to others.

REVIEW: Catch Me If You Can

What: The amazing book that inspired the Steven Spielberg film.
Where: Bookstores Everywhere!
When: Though out of print for years, now available anywhere.
How Much: $10.47 at Amazon

What is it about “elegant crime” that’s so appealing to us? I don’t think anyone ever dreams about being a violent criminal, but I – and a lot of others out there – feel a pang of jealousy and\or envy when I watch movies about complex jewel heists or art thefts. Somehow using your wits, cunning and a bunch of high-tech gadgets is appealing and darn-near sexy in the commission of a crime, yet sticking up old ladies at ATMs is appalling. Most of us at some point in our lives cheered for – and maybe even wanted to be – Pierce Brosnan in The Thomas Crown Affair or Robert DeNiro in The Score or Gene Hackman in The Heist. But what if the best crime story you ever heard was actually real?
