<p>Last week I reviewed a process viewer program called <a href="DtaskManager">Dtaskmanager</a>, and this week I've tried another program called "What's Running", that does very similar things. It may even be better than Dtaskmanager for some people. You'll have to be the judge.

<h2>Picture Resizer - don't send full size photos in email</h2>
<p>review by <a class="WikiLink" id="p-f72eded1da9aba0d0a637a4c68b35e72203a87d0" href="/ClifNotes">ClifNotes</a>, Sept 2006, <a href="PictureResizer">permalink</a>
<p> </p>
<p>Many times in the past I've gotten an email from a friend or relative that had several pictures in it. What's wrong with that? It could be a problem for some people.
<p> </p>
<p>I used to figure about 5 minutes a meg back when I was on dial-up. If you send a 10 pictures at 2 megs each to a friend on a dial-up internet connection, he won't be happy with you at all. Your friend could be swearing at his email for over an hour trying to figure out what's wrong while his PC slowly downloads those cute pictures you sent.
<p> </p>
<p>This Picture Resizer program was written with this problem in mind. It's really pretty simple to use as well.
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p><b>Quote from the website - <em>How to use it?</b>
<ul><li>Download PhotoResize400.exe and place it on your desktop.<li>Drag and drop JPG files or folders with JPG files on the application icon.<li>The tool will resize JPG images and save them next to the originals. Names of the new pictures will be based on the original names, with a suffix indicating their size. For example, the resized version of MyPhoto.jpg will be called MyPhoto-400.jpg, where the number 400 indicates the size of the picture.<li>The size of output pictures is controlled by the name of the application. To generate 200 pixels images, simply rename the application to PhotoResize200.exe</em></ul>

<p><em>review by Carlo at <a href="http://spaghettitech.blogspot.com/">SpaghettiTech</a>, Mar 2006, updated Sept 2006, <a href="FastStoneCapture">permalink</a></em>
<p> </p>
<p>A few months ago, I posted the review below from Carlo. I recently tried out FS Capture myself, and I now agree that this program is one of the best free screen capture tools around. I haven't tried a large number of these programs, but the only other contender in my experience, is the very good <a href="http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/screenshotcaptor/index.html">Screenshot Captor</a> from <a class="WikiLink" id="p-0010d43fe5444a4bd7b382954becc29300d26872" href="/DonationCoder">DonationCoder</a>. If you have to capture screenshots very often, either of these will work wonders for you.
<p> </p>
<p>I've found that both FS Capture and Screenshot Captor can be installed and then turned into stand-alone programs by copying the program folder to a USB drive.
<p> </p>
<p><b>Review from Carlo</b>
<p><div class="breakout"><p>A good tool for taking screenshots is one of those programs that will always be on my quick launch bar (and believe me: it's a lot better than the PrtScr key).

<h2>Yahoo Mail Beta - a great free web mail product</h2>
<p>review by <a class="WikiLink" id="p-f72eded1da9aba0d0a637a4c68b35e72203a87d0" href="/ClifNotes">ClifNotes</a>, Sept 2006, <a href="YahooMailBeta">permalink</a>
<p> </p>
<p>I've had a Yahoo email account for nearly as long as they've been around. I've seen a few improvements in it over the years and I've also seen a few other web based email products that I feel are much better. I recently tried the newest spin on Yahoo email, and I'm really impressed.
<p> </p>
<p>Yahoo Mail Beta has learned a few lessons from some of the other email services like Gmail, and they've now got a real contender. You can drag and drop emails into folders and use keyboard shortcuts. It really is much better, but I still don't care for all the dumb flash advertisements that try to distract you while you are in your email. If they'd allow you to forward your email to other accounts and offer free pop3 access, I'd think about using them as my main email. Overall, the service is safe, good, very reliable, and they offer 1Gb of email space.

<h2>UK's Kalendar - simple Calendar and reminder program</h2>
<p>review by Darrel in <a href="http://new-brunswick.net/new-brunswick/images.html">New Brunswick Cananda</a>, Sept 2006, <a href="UksKalendar">permalink</a>
<p> </p>
<p>Sometimes people pop in to <a href="http://gabbly.com/http%3A//freewarewiki.com/ClifsCurrentNewsletter">chat here</a> at Freewarewiki. I usually stick around a few hours after I publish the newsletter in case somebody drops in.
<p> </p>
<p>Last week, Darrel dropped in for awhile. He told me lots of nice things about the area he lives in and he also mentioned a reminder program he likes.
<p> </p>
<p>Darrel: Have you ever reviewed UK's Kalendar?
<p>Darrel: <a href="http://www.8ung.at/ukrebs/">http://www.8ung.at/ukrebs/</a>
<p>Clif Notes: No, I've never tried that one. Do you like it?
<p>Darrel: Yes, I think it is great for my simple mind
<p>Clif Notes: It gives you audible or visible reminders?
<p>Darrel: Both
<p>Clif Notes: Nice
<p>Darrel: Try using the non-installable version, ok?
<p>Clif Notes: Yes, I see that there is a Greenware version, I like that.
<p>Darrel: I like setting the different colours for the assorted alarms
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for the chat Darrel! For the rest of you, here's some more information on this program.

<p><b>Quote from the website</b>
<p><em>
<p><b>Automatic saving</b>
<p>Any changes to the database are automatically and immediately saved to disk. On every program start, a backup copy of your data file is created.
<p><b>Unlimited Undo and Redo</b>
<p>Most changes can be undone and also repeated.
<p><b>Minimize to the system tray</b>
<p>"UK's Kalender" minimizes into the system tray (the area next to the system clock).
<p><b>Network support</b>
<p>"UK's Kalender" supports a shared event file, where every user can enter events that'll show up in each other user's calendar. For using the network functions it is neither required to install special server software nor to keep the computer with the shared event file permanently running. "UK's Kalender" will synchronize the local event file as soon as the shared event file is accessible.
<p><b>Repeating events</b>
<p>There are lots of possibilities for entering repeating events, e.g. hourly, every three days, monthly, every first tuesday of the month or even every friday the 13th.
<p><b>Forewarn time and snooze function</b>
<p>Each event can be assigned a user defined forwarn time in the range from one minute to several weeks. In the reminder dialog you can enter a time after that you'll be reminded again. Alternatively you can choose to be reminded again a certain time before the event.
<p><b>Multi day events</b>
<p>Events can have a duration from one minute to several days (or no duration at all, but just a start date).
<p><b>Event categories and templates</b>
<p>Events can be organized into categories, e.g. "Doctor", "Meeting", "Party" and so on. Each category is assigned a template of settings, including repetition rate and forewarn time.
<p><b>Acoustic reminders</b>
<p>You can choose to be reminded of an event with a WAV file of your choice.
<p><b>Event driven program execution and document opening</b>
<p>Documents or programs can be attached to an event. This is very handy for e.g. regular backup purposes.
<p><b>Marking and hiding events</b>
<p>Special events may be either color marked or hidden.
<p><b>Four event views</b>
<p>Events can be displayed in week-, fortnight-, month- or year-view.
<p><b>Tooltips for events and todos</b>
<p>If you stop the mouse over a calendar date or a todo, extended info is shown for the events and todos.
<p><b>Alarms can be deativated</b>
<p>Alarms may be deactivated all at once, so your game, film etc. won't be interrupted.
<p><b>Highly configurable display for events and todos</b>
<p>All views can easily be configured to present the information just the way you want.
<p><b>Search and filter functions</b>
<p>You can search for and filter out your events using keywords, categories, event states or date ranges. The filter function directly affects all output functions, so you can easily create e. g. a calendar only containing birthdays.
<p><b>Clipboard support</b>
<p>Events and todos can be copied to the clipboard and may be pasted back to any word processor or "UK's Kalender" itself.
<p><b>Export to HTML- and CSV-format</b>
<p>Events and todos can be exported to HTML-format in different views. With this you can easily print your dates and todos. Export to CSV-format allows the transfer of your data to a spreadsheet program. All activated filter options are applied to the output.
<p><b>Holidays</b>
<p>Holidays for one or more countries can be displayed right in the calendar. Various holiday modules are available. If your country is missing, you can simply define a holiday module yourself.</em>

<h2>DSynchronize - keeping folders or portable drives updated</h2>
<p>review by Dave at <a class="WikiLink" id="p-9a2dbd8587869f4cc13e9c1562a8b96544c681a8" href="/DavesComputerTips">DavesComputerTips</a>, Sept 2006, <a href="DSynchronize">permalink</a>
<p> </p>
<p>Dave wrote me with a tip on this fine little program. It allows you to sync files in folders or drives. Here's what Wikipedia says about file syncing.
<p> </p>
<p><em>File Synchronization in computing is the process of making sure that two or more locations contain the same up-to-date information. If you add, change, or delete a file from one location, the synchronization process will add, change, or delete the same file from the other location. (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_synchronization">read more</a>)</em>
<p> </p>
<p><b>From Dave at <a href="http://davescomputertips.com">Dave's Computer Tips</a></b>
<p><div class="breakout"><p>I also have a great little program I would like to share with you. It’s named DSynchronize. It is a simple, free, light weight program (only 155k) to sync files and folders. It’s similar to Microsoft SyncToy and SyncBack. It has many more features than SyncToy, and is much cheaper (free) than Syncback. DSynchronize is very powerful, yet easy to setup and use. Some features are: autostart, run as a Windows service, and realtime sync. You should definitely check it out!</p></div>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for the tip Dave! Last week I reviewed another program from this author called <a class="WikiLink" id="p-91e0d023015b3d02dd8d130467bea2325e2361e6" href="/DtaskManager">DtaskManager</a>. Here's a screenshot and more info on DSynchronize.
<p> </p>
<p><img src=/f/dsynchronize.jpg>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Quote from the website</b>
<p><em>DSynchronize is a stand-alone utility that let you periodically synchronize two or more folders on Hard Disk, Floppy Disk, LAN, USB Key, CD-DVD (with packet writing software) and FTP server.
<p> </p>
<p>It is also possible to specify the time and the day to schedule the synchronization to run, and to create some additional "filters" for other factors.
<p> </p>
<p>Real-Time sync is also supported.</em>

<h2>FreePOPS - bring all your web mail into an email client</h2>
<p>review from <a class="WikiLink" id="p-f72eded1da9aba0d0a637a4c68b35e72203a87d0" href="/ClifNotes">ClifNotes</a>, Apr 2005, updated Sept 2006, <a href="FreePops">permalink</a>
<p> </p>
<p>Do you have free email accounts at HotMail, Yahoo, AIM, or some other domain that makes you go online to see your email? You don't have to go to their web sites to see your mail there if you don't want to. Start FreePOPs up and then open up Outlook Express, <a class="WikiLink" id="p-301f9455a98aab4d5fbcde1496da9f999f068e1e" href="/ThunderBird">ThunderBird</a>, or most other email clients. FreePOPs actually creates a POP3 server on your machine and then it surfs out to your free web mail accounts and sends the mail to your email program. The email accounts have to be set up in a special way for this to work. The tutorials have been updated since I last used it and you should be able to figure it out. If you have any trouble setting it up, just email me and I'll try to help you out. Another good program for bringing in email like this is <a class="WikiLink" id="p-2952eed29c43ce8d5ad8a26feccf025d4d7f77fb" href="/MrPostman">MrPostman</a>.

<p><b>Quote from the website</b>
<p><em>FreePOPs is an easily extensible program, which allows access to the most varied resources through the POP3 protocol.
<p> </p>
<p>Mainly, it can be used to download mail from the most famous webmails, but it could also be used as an aggregator for RSS feeds and much more. This way it is possible to get all your messages in your favorite email client.

<p>FreePOPs is Free Software!</em>

<h2>Thunderbird isn't learning to remove the spam</h2>

<p><b>From Authur</b>
<p><div class="breakout"><p>I look forward to your newsletter each week and print it so I can read and keep it. It' very helpful for me.</p><p> </p><p>About the subject, Thunderbird Spam Control, I've been using <a class="WikiLink" id="p-301f9455a98aab4d5fbcde1496da9f999f068e1e" href="/ThunderBird">ThunderBird</a> for a long time. Each day I go through my mail and designate those mails which are spam by sending them to the trash. T'Bird designates those it thinks is spam and mostly I confirm by sending it to trash. The same mail from the same sites, over and over, yet T'bird NEVER LEARNS. Could you put this in your letter to collect other experiences on this? It would be a big help to me and I am sure I am not alone in this experience.</p><p>Keep on keeping on.</p></div>

<p><em>I'll recommend that you visit SnapFiles and put a mail filtering proxy in place. Several are good but I'd lean towards Spam Assassin (SA Proxy).

<p> </p>
<p>Later I found that Spam Assassin is no longer a supported product. It seems that Yahoo gobbled up this company and I can't find a new copy of it a the Stata Labs website. Somehow, <a class="WikiLink" id="p-4954d4b4ce574a5f37b63768069c9179c2d90244" href="/SnapfilesFreeware">SnapfilesFreeware</a> has a recent copy of the latest version of it. It was updated just a few days ago. Maybe someone at Stata is working in secret?
<p> </p>
<p>How about the rest of you out there? Has anyone else had good luck with a spam filter for their email client? Do you know of any better ways to train Thunderbird?

<h2>IE Tab - Firefox can pretend to be Internet Explorer</h2>
<p>tip from Dan, Sept 2006, <a href="IeTab">permalink</a>

<p>Last week I posted a review on <a class="WikiLink" id="p-c80dd420bc578bcac2423babe554e7fd3ad14672" href="/AvantBrowser">AvantBrowser</a>. Shortly after that, Dan wrote me to let me know that he doesn't see any reason to keep a browser that uses Internet Explorer. He uses a <a href="GetGmailGetFirefox">Firefox</a> add-on when he needs to view a page that is only supported by IE.
<p> </p>
<p><b>From Dan</b>
<p><div class="breakout"><p>If you need occasional IE rendering, grab the IETab add-on, which works for both 1.5 & 2.0b2. With it, I easily run MS Update and Office Update in Firefox. You can dynamically switch the current page to IE rendering and predefine URLs for such as the MS updates to automatically open in IETab.</p><p> </p><p>Cheers ... - Dan</p></div>

<p>Thanks Dan. Here's more info on this browser add-on for Firefox.

<p> </p>
<p><b>From Ron</b>
<p><div class="breakout"><p>I've downloaded a few free Ashampoo products; WinOptimizer, Mp3 Studio, Startup Tuner. Even bought an upgrade for Mp3 Studio to Pro. It's all competent software, but your required download registration entitles you to endless offers for payware at discount. It's tiresome, but not all that unusual. I just didn't expect it from Ashampoo.</p><p> </p><p>My advice? Most of the free programs can be duplicated by less predatory software writers. Unless you really need the payware (in reflection, I didn't, it was just a lazy decision), don't bother.</p><p> </p><p>My 2 cents,</p><p>Ron</p></div>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks Ron! Sometimes free isn't really free. I have written about free programs that require a registration. Hopefully, I don't recommend the ones that bug you with stupid emails all the time. Nobody needs that.

<p> </p>
<p>Sometimes you can really have a hard time finding an old program or image. This website scours the free FTP sites on the internet and catalogs everything it finds out there. The sheer volume and different kinds of files that people squirrel away on these servers is amazing. So, if you can't find it in Google, try FileWatcher.
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://filewatcher.com"><img src=/f/fwatcher.png> <img src=/f/searchingPenguin.png></a>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Quote from the website</b>
<p><em>What Is FileWatcher?
<p> </p>
<p>FileWatcher is a ftp search engine which monitors more than 450 million files on more than 5,000 ftp servers. It allows you to search for files by specifying parts of the filename or other criteria.
<p>How Does It Work?
<p> </p>
<p>A ftp spider is constantly scanning all ftp sites which are in FileWatcher's database. Once per day new or updated files found by the spider are included into the search index.
<p> </p>
<p>FileWatcher started in 1997 as a personal project of Oliver Maruhn in shape of a Linux community site. At that time it was known as "Linux FTP Watcher". With the help of partners and sponsors like Robert E. Blue, Jim Pick, and Penguin Computing the site kept on growing. Volunteers like Erwin Lemmers joined the team and helped maintaining the Linux Software Directory.
<p> </p>
<p>In 2002 the site had to go down because of technical reasons. It was relaunched in the beginning of 2003. In the meantime the search engine core has been partially rewritten and highly optimized. Today more than 450 million files are indexed.</em>

<p>Here's a great free service I ran across recently. You can now have someone call you on your telephone to remind you of important events or just to wake you up. This service is ad-supported at their website, and it really is free so far. I tried it and they are sometimes a few minutes late, but it works.
<p> </p>
<p>It's only offered in the US and Canada right now.

<p>I've been aware of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki">wiki</a> websites for a long time now. The idea is simple yet there are dozens of varieties of this type of site. They all share a central theme, which is told here in this quote from the pbWiki site.
<p><div class="breakout"><p>Wikis are fantastic tools to allow for collaborative writing. Every visitor to a wiki can edit any page on the wiki. Editing is done in a very simple text language that is much easier to learn and read than HTML.</p></div>
<p>They didn't mention that only <a href="JoinUs">members</a> of my wiki can edit it. I could even hide my wiki from the world so only I could use it. But they were so right about it being easy to learn and use. I could teach an average computer user the basics of using a wiki in about 15 minutes or less.
<p> </p>
<p>Once upon a time, I wasn't happy about how much time it took me to create my reviews and upload them to the websites I used. I'd been looking for an easier way to do it. I had thought about adding a wiki server to my website but I hate getting into technical details too much so I shopped around for free wiki services. PbWiki is a fairly new service but I like the online editing tools and the layout. I also like the price. You can create your own wiki site for free here. There are no signup forms and I was writing pages within a few minutes of signing up.
<p> </p>
<p>Take a look around my wiki and if you've ever considered getting your own website or blog then give pbWiki a try. It won't cost a dime and I'll be happy to give you advice if you ask for it.
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you all for reading my Clif Notes, and have a great day.

<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>
