I appreciate Blogspot having hosted the Neat Net Tricks Blog these past six
months, but a move to a new location logically places the blog on the same
server hosting the NNT Web site and its affiliated enterprises.
I also appreciate everyone's past participation on the blog since your
comments make it much more interesting and useful to everyone. Don't be a
stranger! Come and visit me at my new blog:
http://www.neatnettricks.com/blog
01. WEBSWOON can load several Web site addresses (URLs) and automatically
saves the displayed Web pages as images. It is useful, for example, if you
want to provide information about a web site and display a capture of its
content. Download free at http://www.alcenia.com/webswoon/ .
02. PASSWORD PRIME saves all usernames, passwords, and the locations where
they are used in an encrypted and secure format that is itself password
protected so you need remember only one password. It works with Windows
9x/MR/2000/XP/Vista and is a free download at
http://www.oversightcorp.com/freeware/password.php .
03. HUNCH at http://www.hunch.com helps you make decisions. In 10
questions or less, Hunch will offer you a solution to your problem, concern
or dilemma, on hundreds of topics. Hunch's answers are based on the
collective knowledge of the entire Hunch community and it's designed so that
every time it's used, it learns something new. That means Hunch's hunches
are always getting better.
04. FAST DUPLICATE FILE FINDER will help you find all duplicate files in a
folder and its sub folders. The applications will compare the content of
your files so it will find duplicates even if they are using different file
names. It uses a fast binary comparison algorithm and has internal preview
supporting a lot of image, video, music and text file formats. Download

PLAY CATCHUP. If you're missing one or more issues in Neat Net Tricks'
14-year history (and who isn't?) the best way to get it all is with the NNT
ArchivesExpress on CD. We're not talking skimpy: the latest CD has nearly
4,300 items in Word, WordPerfect, Text, and EBook (PDF) format along with
some other special audio tracks of NNT. If printed out (but why would you?)
you'd need nearly a ream of paper (438 pages in 10-point font). It's
delivered postpaid to your door. All this for as little as $14 at the NNT
Store, http://www.neatnettricks.com/store .
05. AFTER THE DEADLINE. Just paste any document into the online box and
this free service at http://www.polishmywriting.com/ will identify spelling
errors and grammar/style suggestions to improve your writing.
06. SPEZIFY. Ready for yet another unusual search engine? Spezify at
http://www.spezify.com/ compiles a page of everything found for a particular
search term, including blogs, videos, images, and more. The results are
unusual to say the least; for example, search on Neat Net Tricks to see what
I mean. I don't see the correlation of some of the material, but it's
interesting nonetheless.
07. MORTGAGE/REFINANCE CALCULATOR at http://www.mookal.com is a handy tool
to determine loan amortization, financial analysis, comparisons, and other
data you'll find useful in calculating mortgages and refinancing.
08. INFRARECORDER is a CD/DVD burning solution for Microsoft Windows. It
offers a wide range of powerful features; all through an easy to use
application interface and Windows Explorer integration. Download free at
http://infrarecorder.org/ .
Just to clarify, some readers have asked why they continue to receive this
Standard (free) version of Neat Net Tricks after they have subscribed to the
Premium (paid) version. Those are two entirely different publications, and
none of the tips are repeated between the two versions. Premium, for a low
$12 a year, offers 24 issues with greatly expanded material: more tips,
special features, technical advice, graphics, contest giveaways, and more.
If you're not subscribed to the Premium version and want to see what you're
missing, just email me and I'll fix you up with the latest issue at no cost
or obligation. The address is jteemsATneatnettricks.com (replace the AT
with @ in your email.)
09. YOMYAM, free at http://www.yomyam.com , lets you sign in with your
Google account and then access your bookmarks from any computer.
10. CLICKOFF. If you're bugged by those incessant "Are you sure?"
messages, ClickOff at http://www.johanneshuebner.com/en/clickoff.shtml gets
rid of them for you.
11. TIMESUPKIDZ. We wrote about this handy program in the latest NNT
Special Report, "Are Your Kids On The Computer Too Much?" at
http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs065/1101458487892/archive/1102671350105.html .
If your kids, or someone's you know, spend entirely too much time on that
electronic beast, you really should read that report.
