Idea Knot

And now I want to talk about Idea Knot, program I installed in my Macintosh and with which I keep personal journals. It’s one of those silly little programs that once you start using them they seem indispensable for the task they were made for. I think I repeat myself too much (yes), but I [...]

E-Boook Readers

 
One of those gadgets that one is tempted to buy immediately.  My questions  are:  

How many titles are available?
Are they new titles? —There can be 40,000  titles, but the kind of titles is important
How new? 
How many formats can it read?
Am I tied to buy eBooks from  the brand store that sells the [...]

A Matter of Ergonomics.

Ultramodern, but…Everyone knows that it has no “TO DO” list. I wish I could configure it so that when I delete e-mails I can tell it not to download any more old mails… no, please. I don’t need the old ones. What I want is  an empty Inbox.If you ask me, the only  wrong  [...]

BlogDesk

 I meant to edit this but forgot, now I am doing it.
Dissatisfied with the  blog editor I paid money for, I came to BlogDesk and have been using it since. It is simple, easy to use and does the basics very well. My kind of software. I don’t like complicated programs unless I have to use [...]

The Jing Project, a good experience

This program is constantly present as a yellow dot on top of all the windows and I can call on it to capture video, images, edit them, save and use immediately without leaving my active windows. I am beginning to discover how many things it can do with it.
It’s fun to work with, and the [...]

Thunderbird!

My PC based e-mail program is Thunderbird. I don’t like monopolies, so always lean for the unusual that works for me.

I am upset by this… Why should iPods and iPhones only synchronize with Outlook? Another way of forcing us to use Microsoft programs??? No way. I ONLY use Outlook to store contacts information [...]

Safari

SAFARI, I love this browser! It is good for the Mac and better in a Windows environment. Faster, elegant, productive. I like that It saves a list of all my downloads, and it can locate them in my hard disk. I use this feature often to delete the downloads I have discarded as trash.There [...]

WinJournal

I bought WinJournal to edit my blog OFFLINE, and be more efficient. For me it was fairly inexpensive ($26) since I had already bought the same program for my Mac and they had a deal. Guess what??? It did not work with WordPress, my main blogging site!
Since I [...]

Macro Buddy, my Kind of Buddy

I cannot work in my PC  without  Macro Buddy. Do you type your address, resume, phone number or login usernames and passwords daily??? Do you type certain data many times a week in your PC and you are tired of this? Are you a writer and want to save passages you refer to in different [...]

One of them is Fastone Image Viewer.It has an interface similar to Windows Explorer, so it is very easy  to use by any Windows capable person.It displays  all folders [...]

Newspaper of the Future

Several years ago I “designed” the newspaper of the future. You know how they say that everything starts as a thought,? It is supposed to be the precursor of any physical manifestation. Let’s help the future inventors , I said to myself. The newspaper had to be:

one page big, no more.
made of a flexible material (which in [...]
