MapleXP not all syrup

Saturday, December 16th, 2006

If you have an attention problem, like ADD or ADHD, two things are possible. 1) you have trouble concentrating on the task in hand, and 2) you have probably stopped reading this by now so who cares? Maybe you don’t have ADHD, but you are just VERY busy. How do you manage your time?

It helps to manage something you can quantify or measure. The MapleXp application gives you the ability to track a number of projects at a time and analyze how much time went into each of the tasks. After processing a project can be divided into a hierarchy of tasks, a structure, which allows for very precise tracking of working time and also if you think about it planning future projects based on the data.

Really boring looking but very powerful. Get it here and start managing your projects with class.

PINs: Open Sesame!

Friday, December 15th, 2006

pins.jpgIf you’re like most people who spend much time online, pretty soon you’ll find yourself with a lot of usernames and passwords for various emails, forums, social network sites etc online. This leads to it being very hard to remember them all.

Some people choose to just use the same password for various sites, but this is very insecure to do. If someone were to find out your password, then they’d have access to everything! But its too hard to remember different passwords for everything right? Thats where PINs comes in handy. It’s a freeware password manager that does all the remembering for you.

It uses a secure 448 bit Blowfish algorithm to ensure the data isn’t crackable. Also the password used for securing access to stored data is not saved anywhere. The cool thing I like about this particular password manager is that it doesn’t require any installation. This means that it can be run from a USB drive or even a floppy disk. So you can easily have access to all your passwords from any computer. Even if you should happen to lose it, your passwords are securely encrypted and can’t be accessed without the master password.

It has a lot of useful features such as unlimited number of entries and data files, a powerful random password generator, expired passwords tracking, and more…

Go check it out at the homepage here for more details and to download it, it’s freeware! : )

Monday, December 11th, 2006

portableapps_homepage_cr-13.jpgNowadays many people work on the go, logging into different computers at different times, such as the office computer and your PC at home, or cyber cafes. It’s not always easy to use someone else’s computer. For instance, if they’re logged on then you’ll need to use their browser and you’ll leave a browsing trail, personal information and you never know what they have installed on their machine. One way to get around this is to use online services such as webmail, that can be checked from anywhere.

Another way is by using a USB drive, which nowadays are very affordable and have come down in price and up in storage size. Many of the ones available today allow you to carry one or two gigabytes worth of data around with you on your key chain for immediate access from any computer you plug it into!

Portable Apps Suite is a selection of useful programs that can be run directly from your USB drive. It includes a browser (Firefox portable), graphics editing (GIMP portable),email (Thunderbird portable), media player (VLC portable) Instant messaging (Gaim portable and Miranda portable) office suite (OpenOffice.org portable) and much more!

They’re all included with an integrated menu,all preconfigured to work ‘out of the box’. You simply need to drag and drop the suite on to your USB device/key and you’re ready to go!

As it uses all open-source software, it’s completely free to download from here. A worthwhile addition to any USB memory owner who works on-the-go!
