Season's Greetings!
NNT Standard will be taking a holiday break through Christmas and New Year.
The next issue will be published in late January. NNT Premium will be
published on schedule without interruption. If you're subscribed only to
this free issue you are currently reading and you experience withdrawal
pains from our absence, may I suggest a subscription to the Premium edition
for just $12 a year, 24 full-packed issues, at
http://www.NeatNetTricks.com/store ? And, if you really need lots of Neat
Net Tricks to fill your holiday stockings, the Archives provides more than
5,000 of them postpaid on CD for as little as $14, also at
http://www.NeatNetTricks.com/store . Otherwise, we'll see you in a few weeks
after a much-needed break.

01. CITEULIKE at http://www.citeulike.org/ provides a free service for
managing and discovering scholarly references. The last time I looked, its
database was offering nearly five million articles, a wealth of information.
02. CONVERSION TOOL. A handy device at
http://convert.francepropertyshop.com/ converts length, temperature, and
weight measurements.
03. RAPPORTIVE shows you everything about your Gmail contacts right inside
your inbox. Download free at http://rapportive.com/ .
04. CARTOONIZE.NET. I'm not sure what the practical application is of this,
but download a photo from disk or URL and convert it to a cartoon at
http://www.converttocartoon.com/ .

There's still time to treat yourself to a Christmas present by saving nearly
$12 or more on Revo Uninstaller Pro, unsurpassed for cleaning ALL the gunk
from your hard drive when you uninstall software. Neat Net Tricks readers
get a special deal and you can read about it in the latest special report at
http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs065/1101458487892/archive/1103909083327.html .

05. GNAG eliminates splash screens, forced intro movies, advertisements,
non-browser based pop-ups and nag screens from installable applications.
Download free at http://gnag.sourceforge.net/ .
06. SUBTITLE EDIT. Create, sync, and edit subtitles for your videos in 8
languages. Download free at http://www.nikse.dk/se/ .
07. DEFRAGGLER. Experts disagree on the issue of defragging hard drives.
Some say its a waste of time and just adds wear to one's hard drive while
others say its a needed maintenance exercise to optimize hard drive
performance. Whichever side of the fence you may be on, you might want to
check out Defraggler, a free download at http://www.piriform.com/defraggler
. Better than the Windows built-in tool, it's light on your system and lets
you defrag just what you want and not the entire drive. You can schedule
the defrag when you want and Defraggler supports 37 languages.
08. WINKEY FINDER retrieves your windows XP, Win 2000, Win ME, 98, 2003 and
.NET product keys from the Registry and displays it for you. Download free
at http://www.winkeyfinder.com/ .
09. LICHESS at http://lichess.org/ lets you play chess online with an
invited friend, a random human opponent, or with the machine using artifical
intelligence. If you'd rather sit back and watch others play, you can do
that as well, in real time. There's also an active forum to talk about the
game and specifically about Lichess.
