blogTracker
You have probably seen several references on this site to Dan Sanderson‘s blogTracker utility. I really can’t tell you how wonderful this little tool is. But I realized that I can show you! Click here to see what blogTracker does for me. (No longer in use.) Then head over to Dan’s site and register yourself.
RAM
My computer has been misbehaving lately. It seems to be crashing constantly and the performance has been muddy. A few days ago I downloaded Cool Beans System Info, a nice little app that displays free RAM and processor usage. I realized that even though I have 256 MB of RAM, it seems like it’s all
Journaling
The journaling script is a cms you can use to keep a blog. It is one of the original blogging systems and is still popular. It’s not as easy to use as Blogger, of course, but it’s worth a look if you know a little about the guts of the ‘net and are thinking about
AutoText 2
Well I already made a bunch of changes to AutoText. Thank you so much, Leia, for beta-testing! Now there are four text boxes. AutoText will post the text in the selected text box to the open app. That way you can save several juicy bits of text for auto-posting. Please note that if you’re using
AutoText

Systray
Nobody asked me to play (boo hoo) … but I thought I’d jump in on this meme anyway. The contents of my system tray are (left to right): Windows Task Scheduler Volume control InoculateIT – virus protection quicklink to desktop Adaptec DirectCD Diamond InControl Tools AutoText – a little app I wrote that inserts text
Uninstall
Are there applications in your Install / Uninstall list (in the Add/Remove Programs dialog box) that you’ve already deleted from your system? Or that, when you select them and click the Add / Remove button, give you a message that the uninstallation can’t proceed? Sure, you could leave them there and forget about them, but
Outlook
It really bugs me that the Rules system in Outlook Express is so much better than the one in Outlook. Why would that be? Isn’t Outlook supposed to be the full-featured, super-duper version? Isn’t Outlook Express supposed to be the scaled-down, free version? I’m using Outlook 2000 and Outlook Express 6 at home and at
