Download KOffice 2: Free Open Source Office Suite

Posted: 31 May 2009 05:47 AM PDT

KOffice is an integrated office suite built on KDE platform. Its a free software which utilizes free and open standards like OpenDocument for its document formats, component communication and component embedding. Now KOffice 2.0.0 is available for download.

KOffice 2.0.0 release marks the end of more than 3 years of work to port KOffice to Qt 4 and the KDE 4 libraries and, in some cases, totally rewrite the engine of the KOffice applications. However, many applications which were part of KOffice 1.6 are not in KOffice 2.0, and are expected to return in 2.1 or 2.2.

Now KOffice uses the OpenDocument Format as its native format, which will guarantee interoperability with other  Office packages like OpenOffice.org and Microsoft Office.  Note that all of KOffice is now available on Linux with KDE or GNOME, Windows and Macintosh.

Koffice 2 includes the following applications :

  • KWord - Word processor
  • KSpread - Spreadsheet calculator
  • KPresenter - Presentation manager
  • KPlato - Project management software
  • Karbon - Vector graphics editor
  • Krita - Raster graphics editor

Download KOffice 2. Let the software version 2.0.0 not confuse you as KOffice claims this is a first preview release for developers, testers and early adopters and not for end users. They also do not recommend Linux distributions to package it as the default office suite yet.

Dreamhost Rewards Quietly Restores $97 Promo Codes

Posted: 31 May 2009 03:28 AM PDT

The Dreamhost webhosting $97 referral affiliate program is probably the best out there with a huge $97 affiliate bonus per new subscriber. Dreamhost officially  stopped $97 coupon codes in late 2007 and limited the discount to a maximum of $50, but it seems for the last few months they have quietly restored back the $97 promo codes for customers.

Since Dreamhost had limited the  maximum discount a promo code could give to $50, it meant that every new client referred to Dreamhost would make a cool $47 bonus as affiliate earnings since the max value of the codes was still $97. This was a great deal and made Dreamhost one of the highest earning and best affiliate programs out there.

Our Dreamhost affiliate earnings were great last year, but over the last few months the earnings were disappointing. I logged in to create some new promo codes and surprisingly, the limit for $97 was back. So they secretly restored the limit a few months back, with no official announcement.

Now this means if someone uses a $97 promo code, he gets a $97 discount, which is a great deal for a new customers to try out the service for 1 year, but it makes zero commissions for Dreamhost referrers - which reflects in poor affiliate earnings.

So if you are still using the older $50 coupon codes, you need to create new promo codes with higher discounts so the deal looks attractive to new deal savvy customers searching for maxed out Dreamost coupon codes.

Here is a super deal for QOT readers - Sign up at Dreamhost and use promo code QUICK97 to get the full $97 off! A new account for $119.40, will cost only $22.40 for first year!  QOT is proudly hosted with Dreamhost for over 3 years and here are 10 reasons why we host on Dreamhost.
