Revo Uninstaller is a freeware utility to help uninstall your unneeded software properly.

The problem with conventional uninstallers that come with most programs, is that they sometimes do a sloppy job of uninstalling. They’re known to often leave remnants behind, such as files and registry entries that are no longer needed. This can lead to your system becoming cluttered with these unnecessary leftovers which may even slow it down after a while.

It works by first calling up a programs regular uninstaller, and then after that, it cleans up what may be left behind. It also includes additional functionality such as an auto start manager, junk files cleaner, browser history cleaner, secure file deletion etc.

Its interface is very intuitive and for a free program, this does a thorough job at what it claims to do and does it as good if not better than similar paid programs. Definitely worth checking out if you’ve been in search of such a utility. You won’t beat the price on this one either!

Lebendig is a Windows enhancement that will animate your windows, making them twist around as they open, recede into the horizon when closed, or perform any of 15 different actions when opening or closing. Works on programs, windows, and dialogs.

The world is split into two kinds of people: those who like to customize their desktop and like a lot of eye candy, and those who like to strip their OSs from any software that is not 100% necessary. Those in the former category will like this program. Here are more notes on this one:

• Lebendig screenshot – optionsThe animation: what’s interesting about the animation is that it is mostly illusionary; your window doesn’t actually, say, spin around, but rather an animated frame precedes the window right at the point of display, creating a very effective illusion.
• Launching and ending actions: Expand/Shrink Rectangles, Spin 180 or 360 right/left, Windows Zoom, Expand/Collapse inward or outward, Slide:top/down, bottom/up, right/left, left/right, Roll: top/down, bottom/up, right/left, left/right, Fade in and Fade out.
• Starting and ending points: can be defined, either from the location of the mouse or another set point on the screen.
• Windows affected: you can select from a number of Window types (e.g. Apps, explorer windows, dialogs, etc.) Make sure you check the types you are interested in.
• Other controls: include the resolution (number of steps used), delay, etc.
• Memory use: just over 5 megs. Not bad at all for a program like this one.
• Stability/performance: quite good. I usually expect problems with this sort of program, but encountered none whatever.
• User interface: options accessible through an icon in the start menu, including the ability to quickly enable/disable and/or shut down. It would have been good if it allowed you to not display the Lebendig icon in the start menu.

But in the end, what you get is a pretty picture showing all of your contacts sitting around in a circle, with an enormous number of lines showing which of your contacts follow one another on Twitter as well. The results would be pretty much impossible to decipher, if not for the fact that you can scroll over any Twitter user’s name to get a close up look at their connection lines. (more…)

Easy Time Logs is a time tracking, timesheet, and project management software product. It offers a web-based interface with timesheets and a variety of other features and reports.

Pros: Easy Time Logs is a time tracking, timesheet, and project management software product. While it is easy for the individual team members to enter time spent on tasks and the corresponding project, it is equally easy for supervisors to track time usage and monitor the progress of a specific project.

Customer invoicing becomes that much easier because the application keeps track of these. All members of your team can record their working hours per client and projects, use a web-based timesheet, and track their time throughout the day. The information is stored in a shared hosted or native database which is accessible to employees, managers and executives of the company.

Cons: Some system messages are a little ambiguous which may due to unfamiliarity of developers with the language. The icons/buttons do not have labels that are shown on mouse over. Not enough system messages either to guide a user. On some combinations of inputs program debug system messages came on, meaning that they are not handled properly, some system messages should handle such exceptions.

On the billing front there are no ways to keep track of expenses chargeable to a customer as well as any traveling expenses that may be due.
