Coffitivity

 

I love this, it’s an endless track of ambient sounds and noises you would expect to hear at a coffee place. (Think Starbucks, Coffee Bean)

I leave it on and it really helps me focus when I’m animating. It’s brilliant!

Online file conversion tool

I found this online tool that allows you to convert most file formats (up to 100mb) and then have it mailed to you.

Supports most image(jpg, png) , sound(mp3, wav), video(mov, flv), documents(doc, xls) and compression(7z, rar) formats.
