Paint..NET an amazing free tool
Friday, November 30, 2007
Paint.NET is free image editing and photo manipulation software designed to be used on computers that run Windows. It supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools.
If all you want is a quick image retouch, Photoshop is overkill. Paint.NET, on the other hand, is an open-source freeware editor with all the essentials, including tools to crop, rotate, resize images, adjust colors, and create collages.
Paint.NET supports common image formats--JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and others--but not high-resolution RAW files. There are enough basic and intermediate effects and features to keep image-tweakers happy, though the red-eye removal tool is notably weak; those images may require manual attention.

Tudomo - Portable Getting Things Done® (GTD) software, maybe the best there is.
Sunday, November 11, 2007
Maybe the first app. that I will install in Mojopac 1.8.0.0. That would make my Mojopac install in Windows a portable operating system residing on my hard disk, where I could gather all the nice apps. I've been discovering and intend to use. Finally nuke Windows to have a fresh install, heh. How's that! Yeah, cool, but make sure that you install DOTNET 2.0 framework in Mojopac for those apps. that need them such as Tudomo and Windows Live Writer.
Tag your tasks, e.g. @Calls, @Home
Filter, on tag, heading, date, state or any combination!
Search-as-you-type
Use the heatmap, to identify stale actions
Undo/redo anything
Print
Change the state, Is your task an action? next action?, Waiting for?
USB-ready, - take it with you!
Auto-save, auto-update, focus on your work

VectorMagic, the online tool for precision vectorization.
Saturday, November 10, 2007
Vectorization (aka tracing) is the process of converting a raster image to a vector image.
Raster images are pixel-based, whereas vector images are represented by geometric shapes such as lines, circles and curves. Vector art is useful because it allows you to scale an image without making it blurry or pixelated. The site is currently tuned for tracing logos and photos.
Lots of possibilities, starting with your signature!

Finally, an intelligent Search Engine - True Knowlege
Friday, November 9, 2007
For years we have been struggling with search engines which do not understand implicitly what we are trying to ask. Google merely throws up a set of links based on key words. All that is set to change now, thanks to True Knowledge, a search engine which supposedly throws up real answers to both human and machine questions.
An an example, check out the video for the answers to the question "Is Jennifer Lopez single?" in Google as well as True Knowledge. It's very interesting. This potentially opens up hours of play.
It's still in Beta and you need to register.

Desktop cube effect for Windows. (Update)
Thursday, November 8, 2007
Download updated 8th November 2007
The Desktop Cube effect for Linux is extremely popular because people love eye candy, but the choices for Windows are much less interesting. The latest utility to give this effect for Windows is surprisingly fast, and works on both XP and Vista.
I have 2 drawings, Excel, and Wincommander open in the cube, which gives me great flexibility!
