Free File Converter
seems like a viable alternative to benderconverter, since that one apparently went darkside.

“— Where is my Jet-Pack? - In the US? Can’t/won’t torrent? Wanna see stuff on iPlayer?If you don’t have the ability to/are uncomfortable with torrenting, you can at least console yourself that the episodes are gonna go up on iPlayer… oh, wait. We can’t watch stuff on iPlayer if we’re in the US.
Or CAN we?
The answer is yes. Yes, we can. For FREE.
How?
Okay—here’s what you do:
1) Download it from tunnelbear.com
2) Run the installer
3) Sign up
4) Open the program
5) Click the right-hand dial to “UK”
6) Click the left-hand dial to “On”Wait for it to load—it changes from a gray screen that says “connecting” to a blue screen with a meter showing your bandwidth use.
Once it’s up and running, just go to any web site in the UK that has a video player, and click play just like you would any other site with video on it.
That’s it!
OH, AND, FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE UK:
It works in reverse.
That’s right; if you live in the UK and can’t watch video on US sites, get yourself a TunnelBear and click the right-hand dial to “US” instead of “UK.”
”
um. haven't tried it yet but pretty sure it should work from other countries as well. more info @ source.

Wenn der Berg nicht zum Propheten kommt, haben die Krümel zu schweigen.
Wer die Wahl hat, stirbt zuletzt.
Irren schützt vor Torheit nicht.
Gott sollte nicht mit Steinen werfen.
Lachen heilt alle Wunden.
Gott macht auch Mist.
Unkraut ist der erste Weg zur Besserung.
Jedes Böhnchen wirkt mächtiger als das Wort.
Klappe zu, Glück in der Liebe.
Wer zuerst kommt, ist des Anderen Leid.

Wetransfer has made transferring big files pretty. Not sure how they’re supporting themselves, but still pretty. (via ninakix)

OH FUCK YES.
Head over here to grab a version of the old bookmarklet. It's pre-set, so don't delete your previous bookmarklet yet in case you need to customize it.
(C&P bookmarklet properties from old and new version into text editor of some kind, adjust where style, margin or size differ, paste back into properties. Reply/contact if more detailed instructions are needed.)

Soup-Pager for Greasemonkey
Adds a link to the next page when using the endless scrolling feature on soup.io
Script simply adds a link to the next page - just in case endless scrolling fails again.
Or you want to continue permascrolling the next day, and don't want to see everything again.

Contact By Web - free online contact form
"Online contact forms are the best way to avoid sharing your e-mail with spammers and criminals.
We let you have as many contact forms as you need, for free.
Every contact form is accessible by its own simple URL that you choose.
Then, simply use your custom URL instead of your e-mail on your websites, in forums, on blog posts, and more."
Good idea, neatly done.

Song Lyrics Wiki
Finally a useful site for song lyrics. This is the closest to "no ads" on a lyrics site I've ever seen. Nice.

It has noticably increased my reading (or rather, comprehending) speed, especially with scientific or news articles and with longer texts.
Behold my mad image editing skills with the before/after shots. McGuyver would be proud.
Maybe Soup is currently being updated? I'll try again automatically in a few seconds...
