Multitasker Dream Software

by Mark Hodder on December 24, 2007

“Virtual” multiple desktops is something I have dabbled with on and off for the last couple of years. No one software has manged to wow me till now, it’s called WindowsPager. Simple, open source and unique all at the bargain price of $0 - once you download (only 330kb) and run this software you are ready to start managing multiple desktops.

WindowsPager

After you launch WindowsPager you are given 3 more desktops to keep all your different applications organized. To move programs around simply right click on the windows title bar and select which desktop to move it to. You can also move an application by holding down ctrl and dragging the icon to the desired workspace. A great feature is the flashing icon that will update you when a window has been activated, great for those IM conversations.

Do your photo editing in one desktop, keep track of your e-mail in another and do all your web surfing in yet another, WindowsPager is a powerful tool that may be just what your inner multi-tasker needs to keep on top of things.

Get it now:
http://windowspager.sourceforge.net/

Create a PDF from Anything

by Mark Hodder on December 20, 2007

What many people don’t realize is that PDF is a Federal Information Processing Standard, which means the specifications behind the format are widely published. Numerous developers take advantage of this fact and create programs that offer effective alternatives to Acrobat.

doPDF is one of these alternatives that works great and allows you to create a PDF from anything, and best of all it’s free. When you download and install doPDF it creates a “virtual” printer, anytime you want to create a PDF you simply print to the doPDF printer. The document is then saved as a PDF in the location of your choosing. If you can print it, you can convert it to a PDF with doPDF.

Check it out at: www.dopdf.com

What do you Really do all Day?

by Mark Hodder on November 19, 2007

Ever wonder where the time goes as you sit and your computer hour after hour? For better of for worse RescueTime will let you know where your time is going with all the nifty features you would expect from a Web 2.0 app. You install a small app that sits in your taskbar that monitors your computer usage and uploads it to your personal RescueTime dashboard. Don’t worry you can turn logging off when ever you want - lunch and weekends for example ;)

RescueTime is a web-based time management tool (currently in public beta). We offer:

* The ability to see exactly how you spend your time. No data entry, no effort– Your time gets tracked down to the second without you having to actively track it.

* Instant and easy time-management analytics. Instantly know how much time you’re spending on a particular app (like “Microsoft Word”), site (like “Google.com”) or a category (like “Communication”).

* The ability to set time management goals (daily or weekly) and receive notification when you meet (or fail to meet) your goals (coming soon!)

* Tools to see how you compare to other people in your industry (coming soon!)

Check it out at www.rescuetime.com
