  6. “I’m still waiting for a key to, or an explanation of the Flex gif animator download.”

    Ditto ditto, and one more ditto. At least now I know which company to avoid. I wonder how many others are in the same boat who have remained silent?

  7. Whew! Thought there was something really wrong there for a minute! See you later, and thanks for all the great software!

  9. Why have a maintenance day when there are several freeware programs available that will do exactly the same thing? Thumbs down GOTD.

  11. It’s time for me to say THANKS for all the programs I’ve got from GOTD over the last year. I never leave a comment, good or bad, because your giving me something I need… or I just don’t download it. If I did comment I would say THANKS for ALL your offers.

  13. I want to say the same things like others (just the language is broke a little bit :) U are special and you make us to feel bless with your give a way of every day.
    God bless you.

  14. yeah i agree with some of the above–take today, run cleanup wizard, then defrag all your hard drives, and uninstall any stuff you never use anyway–make more room for cool giveaways

    and a great idea is the one about if you have errors during the day that make it not possible to download, maybe have 2 giveaways the next day–the new one, and the one from the day before. If that would be possible, i dont know, maybe theres an issue with copyright and program vendors, but it would be a good thing to try–i missed out a while back on a good program for dvds and by the time the server worked there was like 2 minutes left to download a 4 minute program
    maybe another idea? instead of having to install the same day, put a time tag on the program, like some shareware programs do, when you download it and you have 24 hours from the time you download to install. I am sure some people have finished downloading toward the end of the giveaway and then when they install, oops its like 2 minutes after the free period.

    Just some suggestions to make an EXCELLENT site even BETTER

  15. Hey there #48 … ditto! (And I don’t think we are alone.)

  16. Do you ever go offline for a break from maintaining this site? I don’t think so. Thanks for all your hard work; you are very commited in your work.

  17. Came in…found an empty room… scraps of days gone by wafting about on the bare floor…felt bereft… then found the slip of paper saying you’d be back…phew!!

    You do know you’re very much appreciated don’t you team?

    Thanks for your unique offerings all this time. We’d miss you heaps if you were to go.

    Cheers :)

    regards sandra

  22. Ooh, loved tha Button Maker program. BTW, I was able to download it just fine yesterday evening. Maybe a different server is used out on the East side of the country.

    I can use quite a few of the software GAOTD offers. With the exception of the screensavers. Hopefully GAOTD will come to realize that very few people actually care for screensavers.

    Comment by Chuck — May 22nd, 2008 at 7:49 pm
  23. Thanks for the explanation and for all the work of the GAOTD crew.

    Comment by 4shadowm — May 22nd, 2008 at 8:15 pm
  24. I also was not able to download Button Maker 3. Would greatly appreciate if you ran it again.

  30. If you could possibly assure that the RSS feed gets updated for days where the site is down, that would be really nice.

    See you tomorrow!

  34. Oh, sure…..I’m the one turning 50 today and YOU’re the one who’s sluffing off! LOL I was hoping you’d have a GREAT BIRTHDAY PRESENT for me today! :( Hmmmmm……well…..they say some things are worth waiting for, so I sure hope you have a FANTASTIC program waiting for me tomorrow! :)

    Thanks for the past giveaways!

    Comment by SJD — May 23rd, 2008 at 1:48 am
  35. that ok if you can find the Post,I dont need 365 software on my PC just the best will do,and all the best to you all

  36. So … I’m waiting patiently to satisfy my withdrawals from GAOTD. Hoping right at midnight there’s something new. For starters, what ’bout some kind of avi video file splitter, so we can split a large file to be able to copy to more than 1 cd if it doesn’t fit on one or even a pdf splitter. I haven’t come across those yet. Happy Memorial Day!

    Comment by iccopo — May 23rd, 2008 at 2:58 am
  37. I too am still holding my breath waiting for the Flex animator Registration Code.

    Not to mention trying to get the button program from the other day, all I kept getting all day long from GAOD site is “site has timed out”
    So it would be really nice Slava if you could answer whether or not this will be made available to us again, because it seems that quite a few of us had problems.

    Keep up the good work.

    Comment by Just A Freak — May 23rd, 2008 at 10:11 am
  38. Well……its not OK with me grumble..,grumble ……should have thought about it earlier……..grumble……..do it on your own time…..all you clowns sayings it is OK with you if these flakes take off un-announced and ruin a day that probably would not be much good ..grumble…….probably have a screen saver tomorrow – if you don’t take off and go to the fair or some such stupid thing……where is the stupid game? Did those flakes take off a day too. I guess not working all week wore the game team out too.grumble.see if I care!! If its not a screen saver its some dumb iPod crap thing that converts AC to DC and then back to PDF…

    Comment by Flattop — May 23rd, 2008 at 8:34 pm
  39. Good day.

    Anybody who thinks a maintenance day is a “day off” has never worked in the business. It is one of the most frantic periods that could be constructed. I’ve been through many in my forty-two years in IT, it is significantly more stressful than running day-to-day operations.

    I greatly appreciate what you are doing and fully understand the need for downtime. It is quite surprising you haven’t required more.

    Those who complain have only their own selfish interests in mind. They don’t get what -they- want, and of course everybody on the planet has the same desires they do, just ask them. Or perhaps they think they are the only person important on the planet. If your offering does not fit their juvenile desires it is worthless.

    It is my opinion you are doing a very good job. I have missed some due to trying to remember what midnight you use, that’s my problem. As a suggestion go to UTC, then -nobody has- a valid complaint as to what time it is, no time zones, daylight saving, involved.

    Thanks much for all you do.

    I hope at least some of the folks can get some sleep after “maintenace day”.

  40. I didn’t realize how much I looked forward to seeing what the software was, until it wasn’t for a day or two. Even if I don’t download it, I make it part of my day to check in here and see what up for free, and who’s complaining about it. It never ceases to amaze me how many people will complain about something they come to willingly, and doesn’t cost them anything. Personally, I’ve got a few real gems here, a couple that I’ve actually had the boss pay for at work once I realized how good they were.

    Thanks GOTD Team I’ll be here tomorrow to check it out.

  43. Hate to say it, but altho I can read your great site via my mobile phone, I can’t leave any comments. Could you fix that?

    Comment by garfey — June 15th, 2008 at 4:09 am
  44. Hi GAOTD Team,

    I want say hello only and thank you for all your efforts and work give to us great software, some of them sometimes we never could put the hand on that, if not were your work.

    Here from Brazil, I am one of that users which get a great piece of software. The great part of them I had not installed in yhe same download day and lost the right to have it registered. Sometime I had not spare time to follow this, and athought I downloaded I lost the chance to had it fully functional and registered. But one or other were installed and a saved the registration data/key.

    Have all a good work,

    Regards,

    Jorge
