Since March I've been publishing nearly daily computer/Internet snippets on
the Neat Net Tricks Blog. You'll find these tidbits at
http://www.neatnettricks.com/blog/ and if they spark your interest, feel
free to jump into the discussion.
IN THIS ISSUE:
01. FreeOtfe
02. Caderno
03. QT Web Browser
04. Emurse
05. Google's Safe Browsing Diagnostic Tool
06. Photomesa
07. MWSnap
08. Bakamatsu Koshashin Generator
09. Wallpaper
01. FREEOTFE is a free, open source, "on-the-fly" transparent disk
encryption program for PCs and PDAs. Using this software, you can create one
or more "virtual disks" on your PC/PDA. These disks operate exactly like a
normal disk, with the exception that anything written to one of them is
transparently, and securely, encrypted before being stored on your
computer's hard drive. Download at http://freeotfe.org/index.html .
02. CADERNO. If you're looking for something a little more than Notepad as
a text editor, you might try Caderno, a free download at
http://freddy1990.com/index.php?page=product&name=caderno . It provides all
of Notepad's features but emulates Firefox with tabs, search/replace/go-to
line bars, crash recover, unicode support, update notification, syntax
highlighting, and session management.
03. QT WEB BROWSER. Featuring mouse gesture support, AdBlock support,
resizable search and address bar, zoom text only option to view, and more in
just its latest update, Qt Web Browser is a lightweight, secure, and
portable browser you might want to try. Download free at
http://www.qtweb.net/ .
04. EMURSE at
http://www.emurse.com/?icid=main|htmlws-main|dl6|link4|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.emurse.com%2F
allows you create, share, and store your resume online free if you're
looking for a job (and, these days, isn't everyone?)
05. GOOGLE'S SAFE BROWSING DIAGNOSTIC TOOL. Enter in your browser address
bar any Web site URL immediately following
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site= and Google returns a
report with security information about that site.
06. PHOTOMESA is a zoomable image browser. It allows the user to view
multiple directories of images at once, and uses simple navigation commands
to smoothly zoom in and out. It requires only images on disk, and does not
require any annotation, importing to a database, or other organization.
Download free at http://www.windsorinterfaces.com/photomesa.shtml .
07. MWSNAP captures images from selected parts of the screen. This can be
the whole desktop, a highlighted window, an active menu, a control, or a
fixed or free rectangular part of the screen. MWSnap handles 5 most popular
graphics formats and contains several graphical tools: a zoom, a ruler, a
color picker and a window spy. It can be also used as a fast picture viewer
or converter. I does not require installation and does not need any special
dlls, drivers or system files. Download free at
http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html .
08. BAKUMATSU KOSHASHIN GENERATOR returns your photos to the "good old
days". At http://labs.wanokoto.jp/olds , browse to the image of your
choice, click "Convert", and the photo looks like its 100-150 years old.
Don't forget to click English in the upper right corner (assuming that's
your language).
09. WALLPAPER. At http://bighugelabs.com/wallpaper.php you can convert any
photo into a perfectly-sized desktop wallpaper for your computer or portable
device that even includes a monthly calendar. Add special effects to
desaturate, blur, or color your wallpaper. Standard and wide-screen
monitors, iPhones, cell phones, and other portable devices are supported.
