One Unite from the Internet Browser Opera has many cool features that you can use to enhance your availability to your information. Your can stream your music, show your photos and setup galleries for others to see. You can also broadcast your own webcam to the public, as will as provide a remote access to your local Web server which allows you to execute PHP/Perl/Phython/ect scripts. It will also allow you to turn your files and folders at home, that you destinate to view, into a FTP so you can get to any files that you need without uploading it (which Opera clams you will not have to upload the file). For all those people that have Websites you can also host your own page through Opera. This a a lot of ability's within one application call Unite.
WinRar is just like WinZip that you have used within your class assignments, but this program has more ability's to Zip and Unzip many more formats then what WinZip can do. WinRar has been a program that I have used for many years, and has come into great usage through out my time. There has been many files that I have came across that WinRar can open up but not WinZip. Again if you are using WinZip go ahead and take one step further and download WinRar.
PrimoPDF 5.0.0.19 is a nice fature turning any text object into a PDF file without the struggle of opening the program, copy, and paste the information. Just place your cursor within the object that you want to convert and hit your print command to turn it to a PDF file. You can also encrypt it when you convert your document to add that extra security. Other PDF convertors are expensive, but this PrimoPDF software is a great program, saves time, and best of all its free.
PhotoScape 3.4 is a nice fun software that allows your to edit photos, and use some of the adobe features without the big price. It can support your JPEG and PNG files and many other formats. It is described by the Publisher's description as "PhotoScape being an all-in-one style photo editor with fun and ease of use." It has many abilities, but the major capabilities are: Viewer, editor, batch editor, page combine, animated GIF, print, splitter, screen capture, color picker, rename, raw converter, resizing, brightness/color/white-balance adjustment, back-light correction, frames, balloons, text, drawing pictures, cropping, filter, red eye removal and blooming. Easy to load and quick to execute, and not a heavy program to run on your computer.
BtProx is a interesting software that I have tested on my laptop that help ensure my security lock. It is a Bluetooth Proximity Lock Utility that runs on your computer or laptop that uses little to virtually no memory usage. It locks your computer when you go away from it for a certain time period, which you can adjust the time to your liking. Here is how it is done. It connects to your Bluetooth devices being a iPhone, iTouch, headset, or any other devices. Once you walk away from your computer and it does not pick up your Bluetooth device anymore the timer starts. When the timer reaches the set time to lock your computer it will not be able to do anything until that Bluetooth device returns to the computer. It is nice if you want to have that extra security on your computer and just removing the Bluetooth receiver will not change the fact that the computer will be locked.
Well here are some of my secrets that I have let you in on. I will not tell you all my favorite, but at least I gave you a glimpse taste of what I have in my tool shed. Here are some links to the different tools and items that I have listed above. Hope you enjoy them as much as I have and "May the force be with you".
