Noteliner 3.3

Noteliner helps you structure and track your work; it provides a place to
record meeting and conversation notes, manage todos, and store key project
information that might otherwise be scattered about. It is a simple tool that
will not slow you down, but will give you a means to stay on top of what you
need to do and remember. I developed it originally about 15 years ago and
have updated it every few years. From time to time I´ve looked for other
tools to help me keep track of all the things that I need to do at work but I
have found them either too cumbersome–creating work rather than reducing
it–or too basic. For no particular reason in early 2010 I decided to clean
it up and see if others might find it useful (I´ve continued to update it
since then). I hope you do! Noteliner lets you create a hierarchy of notes.
You can give these notes follow-up dates, indicate which ones need attention,
assign people, prioritize, or mark them complete. Different views allow you
to see all the notes assigned to a particular person, those that need
follow-up, attention or are dated. You can also specify which notes are part
of a To-Do list and then view all To-Dos across your projects along with
other items that need attention. It is very stable. It saves every minute if
changes are made, I haven´t lost data in over a decade. I use it every day
at work. I run it on Windows XP but it should be fine on Windows 2000 and
more recent. Its written in Visual C++ so it is fast and light weight.
*What´s New in version 3.3:*
* Improved Navigation Pane (auto-refresh, drag to, resize)
* Page Styles & Formatting
* Custom Filters
* Navigate Back and Forward
* A bunch of other stuff

How to Find Help at Microsoft for Your Computer Problems

Our Tips Editor Vic Laurie says " If you want help with a Windows problem,
the ultimate source is Microsoft. There is a vast accumulation of information
on the Microsoft website. Unfortunately, the site is huge and keeps changing.
Finding anything can be like the proverbial hunt for a needle in a haystack.
To help find things on Microsoft, I have put together a short list of some
Microsoft links that may make it easier to get answers when help is wanted."

Web Site of the Week

Editor Rhiannon's selection for this week is a site I'd never heard of. It's
a site that covers the wonder of learning. Or to use the sites's own
description: "Learning is happening everywhere, all the time! We have bottled
a little bit of that learning in each Wonder of the Day ... learn something
new, try out an idea, create a masterpiece, imagine possibilities. It's
easy. It's fun. But the learning is big!" And it delivers on the promise. I
just loved this site. It will appeal to anyone with a sense of curiosity and
wonder from children through to big kids like me.

This Digital Painting Website Lifts the Game to the Next Level

Websites where you can add special effects to your photos are a dime a dozen
but this one is different because you can go beyond the usual kitsch effects
to create something of genuine esthetic value. As ever, good results take
time and patience but the results can be highly rewarding particularly for
those with an artistic eye. That said you can still use the site for simple
effects if you wish.

Communicate Online With Extra Privacy

While sites such as Twitter and Facebook make it so easy to communicate with
groups of friends or colleagues online, there's also a serious privacy issue.
Mainly, the lack of it. It's easy to search through the entire posting
history of any user, or merely to check the directory to see if that user has
an account on the system at all. A relatively new system called Cloaklet aims
to change that. It promises total privacy. All of your messages are
encrypted, and the only person that can read them is the person you send them
to.

Password Inventor 1.0.0.0

Simple but powerful password generator using cryptographically strong random
number generator. Password can be generated with single-click button, but
it's possible to flexibly adjust the generation method.

NetworkTrafficView 1.05

NetworkTrafficView is a network monitoring tool that captures the packets
that pass through your network adapter, and displays general statistics about
your network traffic. The packets statistics is grouped by the Ethernet Type,
IP Protocol, Source/Destination Addresses, and Source/Destination ports. For
every statistics line, the following information is displayed: Ethernet Type
(IPv4, IPv6, ARP), IP Protocol (TCP, UDP, ICMP), Source Address, Destination
Address, Source Port, Destination Port, Service Name (http, ftp, and so on),
Packets Count, Total Packets Size, Total Data Size, Data Speed, Maximum Data
Speed, Average Packet Size, First/Last Packet Time, Duration, and process
ID/Name (For TCP connections). *System Requirements*
* This utility works on any version of Windows, starting from Windows 2000
and up to Windows 7, including 64-bit systems.
* One of the following capture drivers is required to use
NetworkTrafficView:
* WinPcap Capture Driver: WinPcap is an open source capture driver that
allows you to capture network packets on any version of Windows. You
can download and install the WinPcap driver from this Web page.
* Microsoft Network Monitor Driver version 2.x (Only for Windows
2000/XP/2003): Microsoft provides a free capture driver under Windows
2000/XP/2003 that can be used by NetworkTrafficView, but this driver is
not installed by default, and you have to manually install it, by using
one of the following options:
* Option 1: Install it from the CD-ROM of Windows 2000/XP according to
the instructions on Microsoft Web site
* Option 2 (XP Only) : Download and install the Windows XP Service
Pack 2 Support Tools. One of the tools in this package is
netcap.exe. When you run this tool in the first time, the Network
Monitor Driver will automatically be installed on your system.

* Microsoft Network Monitor Driver version 3.x: Microsoft provides a new
version of Microsoft Network Monitor driver (3.x) that is also
supported under Windows 7/Vista/2008.
* The new version of Microsoft Network Monitor (3.x) is available to
download from Microsoft Web site.

* You can also try to use NetworkTrafficView without installing any driver,
by using the ´Raw Sackets´ method. Unfortunately, Raw Sackets method has
many problems:
* It doesn´t work in all Windows systems, depending on Windows version,
service pack, and the updates installed on your system. On some
systems, Raw Sackets works only partially and captures only the
incoming packets. On some other systems, it doesn´t work at all.
* On systems that ´Raw Sackets´ method works properly, it can only
capture IPv4 TCP/UDP packets. It cannot capture other type of packets,
like the other capture drivers.
* On Windows 7 with UAC turned on, ´Raw Sackets´ method only works when
you run NetworkTrafficView with ´Run As Administrator´.


*What´s New in version 1.05:*
* Added new general grouping mode: Group by process.

"PicPick" but this has now been dropped as the latest version of PicPick
comes bundled with tool bars and other undesirables. Thankfully our now top
selection is as clean as a whistle.

digital photo cameras (also cell phones that shoot video in MP4 format). It
repackages video content to AVI container without video recompression, it's

* Arrange clips using simple timeline, perform basic trim operations;
* Correct audio/video lag in some cameras like Minolta A200

Paint.NET 3.5.9

Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for computers that run
Windows. It features an intuitive and innovative user interface with support
for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and
powerful tools. An active and growing online community provides friendly
help, tutorials, and plugins. It started development as an undergraduate
college senior design project mentored by Microsoft , and is currently being
maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally
intended as a free replacement for the Microsoft Paint software that comes
with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple image and photo editor
tool. It has been compared to other digital photo editing software packages
such as Adobe® Photoshop®, Corel® Paint Shop Pro®, Microsoft Photo
Editor, and The GIMP. The programming language used to create Paint.NET is
C#, with GDI+ extensions. Paint.NET has many of the powerful features that
expensive commercial applications have, including the ability to use layers.
*System Requirements:*
* Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista SP1, Windows 7
* Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0

*What's New in version 3.5.9:*
* Improved: The 'Auto-detect' bit-depth setting for PNG, BMP, and TGA
now also determines which bit-depth to use based on which one produces the
smallest file size, as well as which ones can save the image without
losing fidelity.
* Improved: You can now use Ctrl+0 as a shortcut key for View -> Actual
Size, in addition to Ctrl+Shift+A and Ctrl+Alt+0.
* Fixed: Some text in the DirectDraw Surface (DDS) Save Configuration UI was
not being loaded.
* Fixed: Some DirectDraw Surface (DDS) files authored with other software
(e.g. Unreal 2004) could not be loaded.
* Fixed: In some rare circumstances, clicking on the Save button in the
toolbar would crash.
* Fixed: The Korean translation has been added back in, with the help of
Bing machine translation to cover the few remaining strings that were
untranslated.

Weekend Diversions: Freeware Game Of The Week

I'm not into computer games so I'll leave the description to editor George.J.
"Imagine you're transported to an eerie island, to a high security
penitentiary on death row that's crowded with slews of bad-guy's, for a
crime you never actually did (or you might have, but you don't remember a
thing: the story unfolds as you play) but the worst of the worst is yet to
happen? As if pitch black cell walls or sure death wasn't enough, the
prison is haunted with horrific monsters and grotesque ghostly figures who
kill the in-mates and the prison guardians alike Chaos erupts and you're
left to gamble for your life as you fight to escape the unleashing of
penitentiary's gruesome secrets in a challenge more terrifying than death
itself. Prepare yourself for the GREAT ESCAPE...."

Wallpaper of the Week (Milky Way Arch)

Oh this is simply gorgeous. Very close to my ideal for a perfect wallpaper
but as everybody knows, my taste in wallpapers is a little weird. It depicts
the Milky Way arching over a silhouette of dark hills. It may be a little on
the dark side for some but with an orange glow on the horizon and the sky
lightening it up, it has subtle color. Desktop icons look great against this
wallpaper.
