- The Bat! 3.65 Postmaster of the High Standard — Suppose you are choosing a new e-mail client (don’t ask me «why?» — You’ll understand in a second). What would you want from it if you could request absolutely anything you wanted? May be your wish list would look a bit like mine: my email client must be: pretty and convenient; flexible and wise; secure and reliable. The order of these requirements may vary, but the entire list is constant…
- EymBarcodeReader.ocx Decode Bar Code — Barcodes (the approach to encoding data in black-and-white bars) are widely used since their invention in the middle of the XXth century. They have proven themselves to be a universal and reliable mean in cases when a small amount of uniform significant data is to be associated with multiple things and then processed automatically. Though in last years the usage of barcodes has gradually yielded to distant…
- Restorator 2007. All in This World Can Be Changed. — There are complex historical reasons, which have caused the situation, where some things possible theoretically, are impossible practically. Sorry for the hazy phrase; all I had to say is that I would want to have all programs in my computer to be like «Lego» things: If I like some piece, I can get it and use it; if I dislike some part, I can just throw it away. I’d want to have…
- Country Codes 2.7, Data at Fingertips — In today’s vague times of «common» unlimited broadband Internet connection (which is not so common, really) and «modern cool» web-services it is thought that one doesn’t have to store on one’s computer information one can find on web. People with such thoughts typically don’t take into account the amount of time they waste when to find a byte of frequently-used data…
- PSpad, Code Looks Natural — Have you ever tried editing any programming code in the Windows’ standard notepad program? Wasn’t that easy and fun? I bet it was NOT. Although Notepad is light and easy to use, you can hardly recognize your even own code in it: no syntax highlighting or line numbering, and some important characters may even fail to appear. Is there a way to edit a code block without having to run those heavy development…
- 360 High Definition Screensaver Version 2, The Beauty Is Around — When you are looking at your computer’s screensaver, it’s about the same as if you were looking through a virtual window. You see something there, that thing may be pretty or scary, but it’s «behind the monitor». Many screensavers try to convince you, «you’re not in a stuffy office, you’re outside», but instead, you just see «one more window». 360 High…
- GoldenGem, Know the Target Price — What does affect a stock quote? How can you predict, where the market will go the next moment, hour or day? — Numerous techniques have been invented for analyzing markets and prognosticating stock prices; they include extrapolating a price using earlier values of that same price — also known as «technical analysis» — and considering data from financial statements, interest rates, volumes, competitors’ prices, prices…
- Fast Explorer 2007 v2.2.9, Click What You Need — There’s a very handy «file context menu» concept implemented in Windows Explorer, which means you’re always only «one right-click away» from the most appropriate actions for this type of file or folder. Unfortunately, Windows doesn’t provide the direct user control for those menus; so, when some application that you dislike also brings its actions into the context menu, there’s nothing you can do about…
- HtmlCapture ActiveX Control, Web Snapshot In A Few Lines Of Code — Taking shots (images) of web-pages is an often and highly usable programming task. There are scores of possible usages, from large web-archiving suits to small one-time testing scripts; but the general purpose snapshot tools (either PrintScreen or specialized software) aren’t very good for the task. If you want one powerful yet compact solution for the problem which can be used virtually with any programming language, take a look…
