Microsoft Designer Free


Microsoft’s answer to Canva. Free and no premium level. The AI characteristics are violent. Get what you want and it creates alternatives. It is not as sophisticated as Canva to do complicated work but more efficient on simple social posts. Notable in the toolkit of backup.

Clockify Free


The hourly billable freelance time tracking or uncovering time usage. The free plan is completely viable. The author found that spending 40 per cent on administration, non-billable work. The awareness enabled them to reclaim and systematize income.

TECH BLOG FREE STORY 2023

TECH BLOG FREE STORY 2023 Some time ago in the idiosyncratic town of Chuckleville, there was a wicked squirrel named Nutty. Nutty had an inclination for tricks and was known all through the town for his trickeries. One bright morning, Nutty concocted a splendid strategy. He chose to arrange the very first "Squirrel Olympics" to give pleasure and giggling to the creature inhabitants of Chuckleville. Nutty realized it would be silly to watch the squirrels endeavor different entertaining games. Word spread like quickly, and soon every one of the squirrels around were occupied with planning for the enormous occasion. Nutty, being the instigator, thought of a lot of wacky contests. They included oak seed leaping, pecan adjusting, tree-climbing races, and, surprisingly, a nutty dance-off. The day of the Squirrel Olympics showed up, and the entire town was humming with fervor. The creatures accumulated at the Chuckleville Park, where Nutty had set up a shoddy arena. There were cheer...

The Legend of K'Chibo The Last Warrior of the Ebony Sands

Image
  Title: "The Legend of K'Chibo: The Last Warrior of the Ebony Sands". Publisher: Harper Collins Publishers. Chapter 1: The Mark of the Exile The winds whistled through the Ebony Sands and swept the echoes of some ancient war. His dark skin shone in the twin suns, and K’Chibo, who was hungry enough to eat a meal every three days, knelt beside the corpse of a sand serpent—his only food in three days. His ragged tribal scars hollowed into his face, charred under the sun, a constant reminder of his banishment. The elders had spat before driving him out, saying, "You were never supposed to be one of us." His crime? Protecting a baseborn child against a son of a chieftain. The late great warrior was now Hak'tua—a ghost-walker who must be wandering the dunes until his bones are stripped by the vultures. But fate had other plans. Chapter 2: The Whispering Ruins. K'Chibo was swept away by a storm into the remnants of the Old Ones. When he pawed his way through t...
