TiddlyWiki - a reusable non-linear personal web notebook

TiddlyWiki - a reusable non-linear personal web notebook
TiddlyWiki is a true work of art, allowing one to work with whole wiki toolbox (simple creation, editing, linking, searching) without any need to use web-server or server-side scripting.

It only requires browser to do all the work on the content and one simple plain-text-editor to save modified content into single html-file.

Ideal for quick note-taking, personal journals, thought-organization and all - without need for being always on and without relying on remote web-server. And no need to know anything about html, about installing software or anything. Create, edit, copy, paste, save - that's all skills one may need to work with that wiki-clone.

TaxCalc Lite offers all of the features found in TaxCalc to enable taxpayers filling out basic self-assessment forms to complete their tax returns quickly and accurately, without making any potentially costly mistakes.

Firewalls stop intruders cold

Firewalls keep hackers and bandits out while your computer is connected to the Internet. They hide your computer from would-be intruders and stop anyone from trying to get in. They also prevent spyware and adware from contacting the mother ship with your personal information.
Now that you have spyware detectors up and running,( You DO have don't you) check out one of these three firewall programs to beef up your security even further.

ZoneAlarm is one of the more well-known firewall programs, and it's the one I run at home. It installs easily and alerts you via a pop-up window the second anyone tries to access your connection--coming in or going out. A paid version of ZoneAlarm offers more options, but the free version is enough for basic security, which is why I'm listing this one as free. (Free/Windows)

Kerio Personal Firewall is another solid firewall program that provides protection similar to ZoneAlarm's. I like how this program essentially fingerprints trusted programs so that Trojan horses, which impersonate other programs, have no chance of squirming in. Kerio Personal Firewall has both paid and free versions, like ZoneAlarm, and the free version works great.(Free/Windows)

Intego NetBarrier X Personal Firewall for Mac OS X offers a four-level line of defense against hackers and vandals and prevents exporting of personal information. Not even a Mac is bulletproof (though I'll admit it's close). Unfortunately, you'll need to pay to play with this program. (Shareware/Mac)

Adware and spyware detectors are an integral part of personal computer security, but only part of your first line of defense. Get one of these programs to protect your data and to keep out hackers and other Internet vandals and to keep spyware from reporting back to advertising companies.

Futuris Imager

Futuris Imager
It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Besides that, a picture is also worth a thousand different types of software to view it in. There are just too many choices when it comes to software that deals with photo viewing, editing, and organizing. I'm going to make things even more complicated by throwing another option into the ring. It's a free piece of software called Futuris Imager. This software has the normal set of features that you have come to expect in an image viewer - support for multiple formats, scanner and camera integration, and printing capabilities. Along with this, it also permits you to mess with your photos in a number of ways, thanks to the included filters. Screen capture is also built in, allowing you to capture content in a variety of different ways. Those of you who enjoy viewing your photos automatically will appreciate the slideshow functionality. Once you're done editing your image, you can then use Futuris Imager to send it by e-mail, or even create HTML for the image. Most of the features of this software will look familiar to you, but there's also some new stuff here that keeps things interesting.

tinySpell: Check your spelling with this freeware

tinySpell: Check your spelling with this freeware
Probably the most useful tool that I have on my computer.
It is an unfortunate reality that people will usually judge you as uneducated when they often see spelling mistakes in your compositions. Spelling checkers are now a must for people who write using computers.

Spelling checkers are usually included with top word processors like Microsoft Word, but the thing is, you don’t want to open Word just to type a small memo or simple notes. Sometimes Notepad is enough for simple tasks.

For a simple work around with these limitations you can simply just fire up Notepad and download a small utility called tinySpell v1.3. This utility is compatible with all Windows versions, is freeware, and eats almost no system resources at all.

All you need to do is start the application and type your notes or memos from any word processor. If you make a spelling error, the program will beep to alert you of the mistake. Just click on the application on the system tray and it will give you word recommendations for automatic spell change.

This app works not only on Notepad or Wordpad but on every word processor in the Windows environment; it even works when typing from Internet Explorer, Opera, or Firefox.

With tinySpell you will never have to worry about spelling mistakes even if you use word processors with no spelling checker. A word of warning though, this program should only be used for small writing chores and definitely not for novels or long documents.

Rough Draft

Untitled Document
Sometimes writing with a full-featured word processor like MS Word feels like hitting a nail with a jack hammer. Word is just too big and bloated for everyday use, with distracting features that specific users rarely need.

Enter RoughDraft v2.11, a simple freeware word processor with writers of novels, short stories, articles, poetry, plays, and screenplays in mind. This text editor can manipulate text files and the universal Rich Text Format files (RTF). Being able to handle RTF files means that you can do simple formatting functions with your text with available fonts, colors, and indentations, just like you can in Windows Wordpad.

But unlike Wordpad, this freeware gem even includes a fast spelling checker that can have an extended functionality if you download Word Web, a standalone freeware thesaurus.

Firefox Extensions Converted Me

Most everyone I know - including myself - is switching from IE to Firefox. It took me the longest time to make the switch because I could not find a spell checker for Firefox (like ieSpell for IE). Plus there was no Google bar available except the one that comes with it which is OK for searching but I missed the IE version because of the features it had.

But now that's all changed!

SpellBound is an extension for Firefox 0.9+. This allows you to spell check forms (e.g. a comment on a message board, etc.) before submitting them when using Firefox. There are no special system requirements beyond those to run Firefox 0.9 or above and it has been verified to work with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.

Googlebar was created to address the widespread desire for the Google toolbar to support Mozilla, since many users of Mozilla enjoy having all of Google's specialty searches in one convenient location.

After surfing Firefox's extension page, I have found many extensions that will definitely help me out when just using the browser for personal or business use.

Chronicle of Riddick Video Game Soundtrack

Vivendi Universal Games - Downloads
I'm a huge fan of the Chronicles of Riddick concept emerging out of the universe created when Pitch Black came out several years ago. I haven't played the Xbox game, so I can't pass judgment on game play, graphics, or story, to offer advice on buying it or not, but I can offer you a pointer to get the entire game soundtrack free from Vivendi Universal's gaming division. The soundtrack offers 17 different compositions, which range from slightly macabre to frantic percussive beats pulsing under orchestral moods. All compositions are original works by Gustaf Grefberg, who also composed the music for the Xbox game Enclave. VU Games wrapped the whole thing in one monstrous 43MB zip file, and they make you enter a date of birth (no other personal info required), which I'm sure is an attempt to prevent direct linking, but those minor hurdles are well worth the collection of original compositions included in the 46 minutes of music.

Microsoft Windows Media - Windows Media Player 10
Windows Media Player 10 is now available for download. If you were holding off on downloading Player 9; skip it. WMP10's feature set, reliability and appearance all make Player 9 seem like a dinosaur. Even if you are holding off on downloading XP SP2 (which automatically upgrades you to WMP9), get Windows Media Player 10; it's more stable than any previous version and it doesn't offer the frustrating error messages running rampant in Player 9 (which are usually the result of a bad codec, not the player itself). Navigation is dramatically improved, with consistent access features via a unified top navigational layout.

Browser Add-Ons are one of the many ways that viruses, spyware, and other malware can attach to your computer and cause you grief. Browser Add-Ons are also one of the many ways that legitimate publishers can add functionality to Internet Explorer or to specific Web sites and pages.

Calling XP Service Pack 2 a new version of Windows XP may be exaggerating a little, but it's certainly much more than the average collection of patches we're used to seeing."

A Murder of Scarecrows

This Flash game isn't violent as the title might suggest. Instead it's an eerie arcade game pitting three Jack Skellington-esque scarecrows against a legion of ravens intent on picking them apart. To save the scarecrows you must hurl seeds dangling from nearby tree branches at the scarecrows to awaken them and drive away the destructive ravens. The seeds are launched in a manner similar to old tank games, which makes adjusting trajectory something of a challenge. Creepy sound effects and the minimalist imagery offer a sort of public television Mystery feel.

Zarax Online DVD to wMW tutorial
This tutorial will guide you trough the process of creating the best backup for your DVD movies.
After investing lots of money into your DVD collection, you’ll probably want to eventually back it up for safekeeping, especially if you travel a lot. When the time comes to backup your movies, what will you do? One possibility is to put the movie into the WMV format to keep superior sound and video quality that will fit on a CD. Don’t know what I’m talking about, or how to do it? No problem.

This site gives you a comprehensive guide on how to backup your movies into the WMV format. The guide refers to Windows Media Encoder 9 and a program called SmartRipper, both of which can be found at http://www.microsoftusernetwork.com/zarax/downloads/software_index.htm

Screenshots are included with each step, and this makes the process much easier for the newbie. If you’re concerned about your movie collection, it makes sense to back it up. I mean, what would you do if your prized copy of Gigli disappeared just like Jennifer Lopez’s career?
