- Visual Money. Smart and Ambitious. — All software developers know: There are certain areas in the market where one would never try to compete — there are some Old, Greedy Huge-Budget and Long-History Monsters out there already, and «you’ll-never-bit-them». The trick is -there is a small share of presumptuous developers who still try to take their steps in such markets — and they win! (Much more often than you might think, actually.) Sometimes they even…
- VBto 2.30, Visual Basic No More — For its time, Visual Basic 6 was an excellent tool. It was easy to learn, write and read, had reasonably good visual forms designer, allowed easy usage of ActiveX controls... Unfortunately, those times have gone. Now, there is .NET, there is VC++ MFC, there are other IDE with form designers, like Delphi. There is no place for good old VB6. Old projects are to be translated to new environments, but it is not an easy…
- Inspice Trace. Seek your Laptop. — Help! Robbery! Where is my laptop?! For many of us, the loss of our laptop is equal to the loss of a hand. Therefore, you don?t know what to do, and who can help you. You better stop worrying and keep the presence of mind. Moreover, before calling the police, immediately check your email box through your mobile phone or any PC to get the information of the whereabouts of your laptop. You may ask me how…
- Safe File Shredder and Mover, Erasing Traces — Did you know that the deletion of a file didn’t actually erase it, and, instead, the deleted file was just moved to a garbage folder? Did you know also that even when the garbage folder — known in Windows as «Recycle Bin» — was «cleared», the «deleted» file still didn’t physically disappear from the disk? Did you know that even when you deleted a file bypassing Recycle Bin…
- IEHistoryX, X-terminate Your Traces, Leave Others' — Traces appear not only after a pair of dirty boots have walked over the carpet. Every single step you make online also leaves traces; that’s address and search history, cached access credentials and content, auto-complete data, etc. Although it’s there for your own good, you may still not want that data to get into someone else’s hands. Using Internet Explorer’s built-in tools, you can get rid of all those traces. However, what…
- ProxyShell Hide IP 2.2.1, I Have Nothing To Show — Internet as a communication and information medium is all about the anonymity. Some tend to see it as a «defect» (and even as a «critical defect» sometimes), but the fact is: the Internet has changed our world, and the Internet anonymity has added a great value to this change. But the other fact is: Internet anonymity is not full. There is a numerical IP address assigned to your…
- AutoWallpaper - a kaleidoscope of wallpapers with stunning visual effects — If you are a proud owner of a shop or a multi-monitor system, you may eventually want to use your monitors to decorate your display case or workplace. A single panoramic screensaver or synchronized switching of several wallpapers would be ideal for a vivid demonstration, but setting it up using standard OS means is quite problematic, if not impossible. If you would like to breathe new life…
- AllNetic Working Time Tracker - simple and efficient personal time tracking — Those of us who get paid for the time we spend on our customers’ tasks know well what a problem it is to keep track of our hours and then create accurate reports for the clients. Of course, you can submit approximate values or use your own wristwatch as a meter, but these methods can hardly be called elegant or accurate. If seeking a tool that will take the time tracking burden off your shoulders, look…
- Virtual Flash Drive - a hack-proof container for your most valuable data — If the content of your hard drives is not limited to family photos and favorite MP3 tracks and you have information that you'd rather not make public, you have several options to choose from. The easiest method would be to hide your data folders in the depths of your system hoping that intruders would not be smart enough to look in non-standard locations. However, this is a bit naïve and you shouldn't rely on this method if you want real protection. Apparently, you can copy all your…
