<h2>Bartware Personal Firewall - David vs Goliath</h2>
<p> </p>
<p>My friend in the UK, Steven Burn, picks up websites for hosting like some people pick up stray cats. This is good hobby, because I don't think <a href="StevenBurn">Steven's rats</a> would like him to add any stray cats! One of his most recent additions to it-mate.co.uk is the <a href="http://www.bartware.it-mate.co.uk/?q=bwpf">BartWare page</a>.
<p> </p>
<p>I found BartWare's personal firewall (BWPF) to be very nice, and it kinda reminds me of older versions of ZoneAlarm. It does a nice job of blocking external intrusions, but most importantly for those of us already behind a router firewall, is the outgoing blocking. When you fire up a new program that tried to connect to the internet, BWPF will ask you if you want to allow it to connect. This is very revealing when you load up new stuff.
<p> </p>
<p>I look forward to see how this new firewall will develop. After all, Bart is up against some very tough competition when you consider the giants like ZoneAlarm and Kerio.
<p> </p>
<p>It's like rooting for David when he fights Goliath. Good luck Bart! Keep a few stones handy ...

<p>Hi Elohnah,

<p>Old photoshow screensaver program.
<p> </p>
<p>GPhotoshow (do not update to a newer version, danger of adware included)
<p>Download: <a href="http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/SOS/gPhotoShow.exe">http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/SOS/gPhotoShow.exe</a>
<p> </p>
<p>Now comes the tricky part. How to install it on a CD ...
<p>Install it on your C: drive first.
<p>Create a CD with your photos on it.
<p> </p>
<p>Create a slideshow with GPhotoshow using only the photos on the CD.
<p> </p>
<p>Now create a new CD and include the same pics and also include the GPhotoshow program folder. Note that the CD would have to be created with an auto-run file.

<h2>Zsoft Uninstaller - a new challenger for Total Uninstall?</h2>
<p>review by <a class="WikiLink" id="p-f72eded1da9aba0d0a637a4c68b35e72203a87d0" href="/ClifNotes">ClifNotes</a>, Aug 2006, <a href="ZsoftUninstaller">Permalink</a>
<p> </p>
<p>Last week, I posted an old review of <a class="WikiLink" id="p-ac5e0878ba0275e15d716857f0e2964bdbeea01f" href="/TotalUninstall">TotalUninstall</a> (TUN). I consider TUN a must have utility and it's one of the first programs I load onto a new PC. I've always thought TUN was the best freeware uninstaller, but one of your fellow readers has told me that there is now a contender for the uninstaller crown.
<p> </p>
<p>OneSeaman wrote me on August 13th with this tip:
<p><div class="breakout"><p><i>Have you looked at ZSoft Uninstaller? It will also "Analyze" a program, using before and after snapshots, so you can fully uninstall it. It is free and actively under development. <a href="http://www.zsoft.dk/.">http://www.zsoft.dk/.</a></i></p></div>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks Seaman, yes, I see that it's free. It also received fairly good user reviews at Download.com. I decided I just had to try it out.
<p> </p>
<p><b>What's it like? Will I stop using TUN now?</b>
<p>This is a great little program and it does pretty much everything that the author claims it does.
<p> </p>
<table class="proper"><tr><td> </td><td> <b>Zsoft</b> </td><td> <b>TUN</b> </td></tr><tr><td> Lists all installed programs </td><td> Yes </td><td> No </td></tr><tr><td> Lists programs it monitored </td><td> Yes </td><td> Yes </td></tr><tr><td> Outputs installation log </td><td> Yes </td><td> Yes </td></tr><tr><td> Options to select monitored registry areas </td><td> Yes </td><td> Yes </td></tr><tr><td> Options to ignore selected registry areas during monitored install </td><td> Yes </td><td> Yes </td></tr><tr><td> Tree view of installed registry keys and files </td><td> No </td><td> Yes </td></tr><tr><td> Easy removal of sections of installation log </td><td> No </td><td> Yes </td></tr></table>
<p> </p>
<p>As you can see above, in some ways Zsoft is better than TUN. However, the ability to easily remove sections from my installer log is a feature I cannot live without. I often find log entries related to Internet Explorer, Firefox, Anti-Virus, Firewall, and other apps running during the monitoring process. TUN allows me to easily remove those before I save the log file. TUN also displays them in a convenient tree view so I can find such entries much faster. One more thing, TUN works after using Windows Add/Remove, where Zsoft didn't respond to finish the uninstall process.
<p> </p>
<p>It looks to me like Zsoft will work quite well for many people, but if you need an really good free analysis of an install, then <a class="WikiLink" id="p-ac5e0878ba0275e15d716857f0e2964bdbeea01f" href="/TotalUninstall">TotalUninstall</a> is what you need. Zsoft has a feature that allows you to scan for temp files and remove them. I use a utility called <a class="WikiLink" id="p-caf8d21e3d7cc149d33a2b21a783328737f8daca" href="/EasyCleaner">EasyCleaner</a>, that is specially designed for cleaning temp files and the registry, so I don't find as much value in it being in my installation monitor.
<p> </p>
<p>If you have never used an installation monitoring program, I can heartily recommend Zsoft. It is simpler, faster, and will do the job for most folks.
<p> </p>

<p><b>Quote from the website</b>
<p><em>ZSoft Uninstaller 2.3 is the better and easier way to uninstall programs on your computer.
<p>Location and uninstalling a program with ZSoft Uninstaller 2.3 is as easy as clicking a button:
<p> </p>
<p>Scroll the list or use the search function
<p>Select the program you want to uninstall and choose uninstall from the menu in the top of the program, or right-click on it and choose uninstall.
<p>ZSoft Uninstaller 2.3 is capable of finding programs that most likely already is uninstalled, but still remains in you registry and allows you to remove the reference. This results in a cleaner registry.
<p> </p>
<p>ZSoft Uninstaller 2.3 is superior than the build-in function in Microsoft Windows, among other things it enables you to:
<p> </p>
<p>Search
<p>Delete entry's from programs that is no longer installed
<p>Automatically find entry's from programs that are most likely already uninstalled
<p>Hide entries from the list that you are never going to uninstall (Windows updates etc.) making the list smaller and therefore easier to manage.
<p>Automatically find entry's that are considered "crap-ware"
<p>Export the current list to a TXT file
<p>Show more information than available though add/remove
<p>Find and delete temporary files
<p>Analyse an installation so it can be completely uninstalled </em>

<h2>Opera 9 USB version</h2>
<p>posted by <a class="WikiLink" id="p-f72eded1da9aba0d0a637a4c68b35e72203a87d0" href="/ClifNotes">ClifNotes</a>, Aug 2006, <a href="Opera9Usb">Permalink</a>

<p>I finally decided to try out the newest version of Opera web browser this week. So far, I haven't found a thing about that I don't like. It's still got all the legendary features that made me favor it ever since I tried it back in version 6.
<p> </p>
<p>Opera still strives to be the fastest browser while surfing, and it's got the tabbed interface that they were one of the very first to adopt. Opera also has a variety of mouse gestures that allow you to quickly move from page to page or tab to tab while browsing.
<p> </p>
<p>I'm using the USB version because you don't actually have to install it. Just download the zip file and extract it to a safe location, then make a link to the operausb.exe file and put the link where you can get to it when you want it. It's truly "green-ware" meaning it won't leave any registry entries behind and if you use it on a thumb drive, you won't even leave any files on the computer you use it on.
<p> </p>
<p>The newest feature I like is called "Widgets". These are little stand-alone apps that you can download into Opera and launch into separate small windows. Here's a picture of the "Touch the Sky" widget to show me my local weather reports in real time.
<p> </p>

<h2>X-Mouse Gizmo for Windows</h2>
<p>posted by <a class="WikiLink" id="p-f72eded1da9aba0d0a637a4c68b35e72203a87d0" href="/ClifNotes">ClifNotes</a>, Aug 2006, <a href="X-Mouse">Permalink</a>
<p> </p>
<p>10 years ago, I had to learn how to use Unix at work. This was before I'd ever heard of Linux and we were still using a mix of Windows 3.1 and Windows NT there. After a few minutes in Unix, I found a surprising difference between copying and pasting between Unix and Windows.
<p> </p>
<p>In Unix, the copy and paste are very simple. Highlight the text, left click where you want it and click your center mouse button. How could it be easier?
<p> </p>
<p>Now I'm enjoying the same functionality in Windows with the added bonus of the "focus follows mouse" for opening windows for use.
<p> </p>
<p>This isn't for everyone. My wife hates it. I love it and it takes awhile to get used to.
<p> </p>
<p>Just download the txmouse.exe file to a safe place on your hard drives, then <a href="http://windows.about.com/od/customizingwindows/ss/shortcuts.htm">add a shortcut to your Startup menu</a> to make it auto-run when you boot.
<p> </p>

<p><b>Quote from the website</b>
<p><em>Have you ever paid attention to striking difference in the thickness of forefingers in X11/Unix and MS Windows users, respectively? The latter have much more muscular forefingers that often suffer from chronic aches in their joints. They also much more often develop mouse arm, pain in the neck and shoulders, and other troubles known as Repetitive Stress Syndrome and associated with excessive usage of a pointing device. Why?
<p> </p>
<p>The explanation is simple: all X11 users benefit from the fact that no significant effort is needed to place a selected chunk of text into the clipboard and to fetch it from there. Unfortunately, this is not the case in MS Windows. Moreover, different applications require different procedures. For example, to simply copy the selected piece of text to the clipboard, you may need to
<p>- choose Edit - Copy from the menu
<p>- press a button with two pieces of paper on it
<p>- use keyboard shortcuts Ctrl-Insert or Ctrl-C.
<p> </p>
<p>But this is only the beginning of the story. How do we paste the contents of the clipboard into an X-application? By middle-clicking once. (Note how the middle or the ring finger get their fair share of exercise.) How do they paste in Windows? In yet more ways than they copy:
<p>- choose Edit - Paste from the menu
<p>- press a button with a piece of paper on a clipboard
<p>- press a button with a brush
<p>- press a button with a bottle of glue
<p>- Shift-Insert, Ctrl-V or Ctrl-P
<p>and so on.
<p> </p>
<p>Besides that, the X11 users don't have to click-click-click with their mice only to move the focus from one window to another or to lower/raise a window - simple operations that require lots of clicks or just are impossible (lower!) in MS Windows.</em>

<p>Giorgos wrote me with a simple question but a long list of how-to's.
<p> </p>
<p><div class="breakout"><p><i>... what text to speech software do you use there? I read that it's very usefull for people with eye difficulties. Well, I don't have any eye disabilities but my eyes don't work the same way that they used to.</p><p> </p><p>I like sending a book's text to clipboard (and through it, to the speech engine), then lying down to bed, and listening to the book instead of reading it. :-)</p><p> </p><p>After seaching for one or two years, I found 2 good apps for this purpose, but I haven't looked recently to see what else is available. I liked <a href="http://www.bellcraft.com/deskbot">Deskbot</a> and <a href="http://www.cfs-technologies.com/home/?id=1.4">Speakonia</a>, which requires free registration.</p><p> </p><p>I kept Deskbot because it supports MS Agents. I've tried some agents from <a href="http://www.msagentring.org/chars.aspx">Agentring.org</a> and they all seem to install properly. They are also usable in MS Office.</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://freewarewiki.com/f/deskbot_screenshot_small.gif" class="wikiimage" /></p><p> </p><p>The agents I prefer, are <a href="http://www.e-clips.com.au/index.cfm?type=dsp_products&scid=17">Kumi and Keiko sisters</a>. ;-)</p><p> </p><p>You can also find <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/msagent/downloads/user.asp">Non-English text to speech engines</a>.</i></p></div>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks Giorgos, as usual, you are ahead of the curve for trying out new freeware. I've never used any text to speech utilities.

<h2>Dealing with DRM - the remix</h2>
<p>posted by <a class="WikiLink" id="p-f72eded1da9aba0d0a637a4c68b35e72203a87d0" href="/ClifNotes">ClifNotes</a>, responses from readers, Aug 2006 <a href="DealingWithDrmRemix">Permalink</a>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="Dealing_with_DRM_and_music_files">Last week</a> I responded to a reader who asked a question about Windows Media Player and music files with DRM (Digital Rights Management software or encoding) in them.
<p> </p>
<p>While it may be okay for the rest of the world to copy DVDs and music CDs, in the States, we are strapped by a law called the <a href="http://www.eff.org/IP/DMCA/">Digital Millennium Copyright Act</a>. It basically tells us that if a piece of software or media has DRM on it, we can't break or circumvent the protection, if we do, we have broken the law. You can keep copies of DRM protected media for your personal use, but the only way to get the copies involves breaking the law or simply buying another copy. Most people would be thinking "I just bought this, and now I can't make a copy for safe keeping?".
<p> </p>
<p><b>Quote from <a href="http://www.eff.org/IP/DMCA/">EFF.org</a></b>
<p><em>In practice, the DMCA and DRM have done nothing to stop "Internet piracy." Yet the DMCA has become a serious threat that jeopardizes fair use, impedes competition and innovation, chills free expression and scientific research, and interferes with computer intrusion laws. If you circumvent DRM locks for noninfringing fair uses or create the tools to do so, you might be on the receiving end of a lawsuit.</em>
<p> </p>
<p>So, just in case I talk about copying a CD or DVD, it's a theoretical excercise, not something I'd advice you to do.
<p> </p>
<p>My Dad was recently playing a Jazz CD of his that he loves and I noticed a skip or pause in it. I told him that I could rip the album and create a backup CD for him that wouldn't have the skip in it.
<p> </p>
<p>In theory, I could have downloaded <a class="WikiLink" id="p-af34fd708ed282c832d00c1a9a2cd817954393ca" href="/MusicMatch">MusicMatch</a> Jukebox, then ripped the CD into mp3 files, and then burnt them onto a new CD for him. After using MusicMatch, I decided I didn't like it because it's just way to commercial for me. Instead, I'll recommend people try out <a href="CDex">CDex</a> instead, if they can legally use it. CDex is open source freeware.
<p> </p>
<p>Another reader wrote in about my suggestion to use <a class="WikiLink" id="p-a318d5b915e316d7d2cf457957053591f4549395" href="/ScreamerRadio">ScreamerRadio</a> to rip music streams from websites like <a class="WikiLink" id="p-a7a5b7ddccd95c99a5a0605750c4a1111a401122" href="/ShoutCast">ShoutCast</a>.com.
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><div class="breakout"><p><b>From Bob C.</b></p><p><em>You're REALLY starting to freak me out here. I just started using Screamer Radio a couple days ago and even sent it out to all my friends and posted it in a newsgroup because I was so impressed by it. I'm getting nervous about reading the rest of the newsletter...</p><p> </p><p>Check out Live365.com for stations - they have some great stuff that Shoutcast doesn't.</p><p> </p><p>It's easy to figure out the how to get the link from Live365, and it works fine until you exit Screamer. But Live365 wants you to log in when you restart Screamer and play a Live365 station. It's only been a couple days so I haven't had a chance to follow up on it and figure it out. Not that it's such a bad problem, and I really do like my Live365 stations.</em></p></div>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for the great tip Bob!

<h2>Why and when should I use Snopes?</h2>
<p>posted by <a class="WikiLink" id="p-f72eded1da9aba0d0a637a4c68b35e72203a87d0" href="/ClifNotes">ClifNotes</a>, Aug 2006, <a href="SnopesDotCom">Permalink</a>
<p> </p>
<p>First, what is Snopes.com?
<p>Snopes dot com is the first place I check when I get an email with a wild story or unusual claims. They investigate urban legends, hoaxes, scams, and other stuff you'll see often in an email your friend has sent you.
<p> </p>
<p>Example:
<p> </p>
<p>A TV Station actually reported that you could hunt naked women with a paintball gun in Las Vegas.
<p> </p>
<p>Here's an <a href="http://www.ojr.org/ojr/glaser/1059692646.php">interview</a> of the people behind Snopes and the story.
<p> </p>
<p><b>Quote from <a href="http://www.ojr.org/ojr/glaser/1059692646.php">Online Journalism Review</a></b>
<p><em>There are a lot of reporters who live by the maxim: If it sounds like it's too good to be true, it probably is. Meaning, it's not true. In the case of the "Hunting for Bambi" whopper, Las Vegas CBS affiliate <a href="http://www.klas-tv.com/Global/story.asp?S=1363796&nav=168XGwZv">KLAS</a> was ready to shoot video first, ask questions later. Despite the fact that the station's LuAnne Sorrell did a four-part report on the scheme -- supposedly giving men the chance to hunt naked women with paintball guns for up to ,000 -- </em>
<p> </p>
<p><b><a href="http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/bambi.asp">See the truth behind the story</a></b>
<p> </p>
<p>Now you can see why I recommend and often quote Snopes.

<p> </p>
<p>I think Gmail works best in the awesome Firefox browser. It's free, easy to use, and it's way more secure than Internet Explorer. My favorite thing to do is to customize Firefox so that it does much more than IE ever could. <em>You can select new button controls for your toolbars, install extensions to add new features, or change the look of your browser with themes - the way Firefox looks and works is under your control.</em>
