Flagimation is a cool little program that creates cool looking animated flags out of any image at all. It’s very simple to use, you simply open up an image file inside it, it can be BMP, JPEG, or GIF filetype, the resulting animation is shown straight away. Then you can choose from several settings such as amplitude, frequency, resize, light source, transparency, angle, the length and speed of animation.
This could be very useful for clubs or sports teams etc, or just anyone who’d like to have a cool animated flag on their website.
Check out some examples and get a free trial and more info right here. No wind required!

There is a new way for you to secure your PC. And it’s what I call the way of the Deskman. Deskman SE allows you to tightly secure desktops and lock computers, and it’s suited for both home users and administrators. The security level is up to you. You can achieve your desired level of security by easily combining different options. I love the new advanced features, they give you the ability to ability to disable Ctrl – Alt – Del, and any other key combination, and the ability to create your own Start Menu, among others.
Whether you need to secure workstations or lock your desktop, Deskman SE is your tool of choice. Arguably it is one of the most advanced, yet accessible, desktop security manager.
In the recently released new updated version, bug that could prevent Deskman from starting up after initial reboot has been fixed so you shouldn’t have any such problems as you might have had if using the older version.

Pac-Xon is a flash game based on the classic Pac-Man games of long long ago. The big difference is that they took that and turned it into an original game that’s totally different.
The object of the game is to build walls that enclose and fill empty space, while avoiding the ghosts touching off the wall you’re trying to make. As soon as you fill at least 75% empty space, you go to the next level. There’s power-ups occasionally to move faster, make the ghosts move slower or freeze, and of course, eat the ghosts!
This one is just as addictive in the same way as the original Pac-Man was though, so if you have some time to kill its worth checking out for a few minutes at least, although you might very well find yourself suffering from “Just one more go” syndrome! Reminds me of the old quote that “If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in a darkened room munching pills and listening to repetitive music!” Hmmm!
You can check it out right here if you want a refreshing take on a classic game!

Having duplicate files on your PC can rob you of precious disk space and even slow down your system, that’s why this freeware is a really useful tool. I’m talking about CloneSpy. Like the name suggests it spies out clones [duplicates] of files on your system and helps you to get rid of them.
In case you are wondering why you need this freeware, maybe you are thinking, duplicates will always be obvious and you can get rid of them when you see them. That’s the problem, they are not always obvious. Duplicate files can have exactly the same contents regardless of their name, date, time and location. CloneSpy helps you to fish them out with ease. CloneSpy is also able to find files that are not exactly identical, but have the same filename. So if you want to get rid of older versions of your favorite files you can do so with ease. It can also find zero length files, which are files that have no content.

With PostSmile sending emails and posting on message boards gets to be fun. You can Drag and Drop images and animations, smiles and emoticons, text or HTML snippets, quotes and signatures into your email, message board or web-forum postings.
One thing I appreciate about this program is that the smiley faces are divided into clear categories – Happy, Love, Sad, Communication, Other, Signatures, Famous Quotes, Love Quotes, Proverbs, Jokes and Compliments. PostSmile offers a wide variety of smiley faces but that’s not all, hundreds and hundreds of great emoticons are available in the PostSmile’s Online Collections Gallery. It also works well with all major email programs.
Like me you may be having an issue with the price. You may find it difficult to comprehend why you should part with $24.95 for smiley faces. Well they are offering a 25% Christmas discount presently, so it only goes for $18.71 for now. If you are still having an issue with the price, check out the trial version. But you need to note that you’ll only get limited smileys with the trial version , to get access to hundreds of emoticons , you’ll have to buy the full version.
Learn more and Check out the trial version!

ADHD and it’s close relatives, Asperger’s Syndrome, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Dycalculia, are a spectrum of neurological conditions that have many thousands of sufferers. Most treatments are either about living with the disorders, or damping them down with drugs, so not ideal.
Dore’s original approach is one based on the latest research on how physical exercises and therapy encourages development of the areas of the brain responsible for these syndromes. The treatment is expensive, around £2,000 ($4,000) in most cases. For FREE however you can take tests online to see if there’s a good chance that you suffer from these complaints and if the courses Dore offers from it’s worldwide centers would benefit you.

If you manage or run a website (or just upload or download a lot of files by FTP) then you’re probably very familiar with FTP (File Transfer Protocol). The method of uploading and downloading files to and from web servers.
But what happens if you find yourself at a computer that hasn’t got your usual FTP program installed? Or maybe you just don’t wanna install another bloated program you’ll only ever use the basic functions of! What happens is you can go to the Web2ftp website and do it all from a webpage! That’s right, any server, anywhere in the world.
You just put in your FTP details such as server, username, and password, and work away as usual with uploading or downloading! You can even select multiple files at the same time by using the shift key. It supports file sizes of up to 50 Mb for download, 50 Mb for binary upload, and an editing function of up to 200 Kb files.
Tip : If while downloading, your browser tries to open a file instead of saving it, just right click and select “Save as”.
Check it out right here.

Deskloops is a program to help you navigate through your open windows easier. It creates a loop of all your windows which you can scroll through by going left or right. Alternatively you can go to the top of the screen and scroll through thumbnails of your windows.
Its much easier to watch it in action than it is to describe it, so check out the first video here entitled “Getting started” and you’ll understand clearer!
It’s a pretty well made program and the navigation system is pretty simple and uncluttered and gets the job done. Although i think nowadays many people will just stick to tabs. But for anyone who doesn’t use tabs, its worth checking out. Also the optional 3D effect feature looks pretty cool, but may get in the way after a while.
I’d recommend checking this out to anyone who finds themselves with a lot of windows open frequently and who doesn’t already use tabs!
You can download it here and read more info and watch some video demos/tutorials. Oh and its free!
