  1. yes, the diruptor ol guy writes other software. this one is freeware and stunningly cool "Replace all your ugly ping plotters and traceroute programs with a full-blown three dimensional traceroute program." I think I'm drawn to the products because they're designed like I think. Though I'm not the only one to think it cool: http://www.hlembke.de/prod/3dtraceroute/me...mediaaltert.htm
  2. not-free but so well worth the money. 30 shareware trial. longer if you use the beta. I don't limit myself to only free software as my glowing review for Disruptor OL demonstrated. This program is a must have wheter or not your a pro photographer. This is a great way to share photos with friends and family on CD. New to the latest version is a small EXE to create autorun CDs (in case you didn't know html files cannot be autorun on their own). Prior to finding Arles I was using Eyebatch. It was more geared to batch image processing. I hit up many of the major freeware and shareware sites fishing for a photo gallery powertool. I don't like being restricted to death in the name of simplicity. Arles has the newbie in mind with a bunch of bundled templates and presents. if you're handy with an html editor and CSS you can Whip up your own. not just any file manager I accidentally discovered that one can use the file manager to retain EXIF information whereas moving files with explorer can munge this information. that and ordering the thumbnail tiles in the explorer can be used to set display order in the gallery rather than sort by date or filename. Elegance in design the commonly used features are readily available and the powertoys are tucked away. an eye for GUI design and power in one! easily watermark your images that coupled with file renaming The author is responsive to support questions and invites feature suggestions (yes, like Holger the disruptor ol developer hehe) Got questions? http://www.digitaldutch.com/arles/faq.htm or check out the forum http://www.arlesforum.com/ this thatguy is here to help
  3. freeware, internet browser http://mozilla.org the site can be a little intimidating. I imagine this post will be around a while, though as I write this the latest final release version is 1.4: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/release...4-installer.exe windows http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/release...-1.4-sea.tar.gz linux http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/release...achO-1.4.dmg.gz OSX it's available on every useful platform .. windows, max, linux to name just a few. Hey, thatguy, what's so great about mozilla. you mean other than it's not-micro$oft? it's a ground up construction to be a solid browser. it won't make you coffer. and unlike IE, in the extremely unlikely event of a crash, it won't take down windows with it. :-) and? yes, and there's more. cruise over to http://MozDev.org for FREE addons to make it even more powerful. oh, I forgot to mention that mozilla has native popup blocking (see also http://proxomitron.info) mozilla is a suite of applications a browser, a chat client, an email client, an html composer, and then some. if you want merely a rock solid browser get FireBird: http://mozilla.org/products/firebird/ built on the same gecko engine technology as mozilla but no suite. the stand alone mail client I'll mention, ThunderBird, is not yet mature enough for me to recomend although I use it myself in conjunction with the email client in mozilla -- that is when I'm not using Outlook and Disruptor OL http://mozilla.org/projects/thunderbird/ ### must have mozilla addons include ### themes .. I hate them but most people love them: http://themes.mozdev.org/ multizilla -- get the true power of tabbed browsing http://multizilla.mozdev.org/ optimoz mouse gestures -- use your mouse to perform tasks http://optimoz.mozdev.org/gestures/index.html this thatguy is here to help
  4. Smart FTP is the smart choice: it's free. (It's free for non-commercial use. fees apply to commercial users) http://SmartFtp.com I hate CuteFTP. there's nothing cute about it. But then I guess they'd have a hard time marketing it if accurately named AnnoyingAsSnotFTP check out the screenshots of the uncluttered interface: http://smartftp.com/screenshots.php not shown on their site on its, but cap'd by me, and sure to be loved by winamp fans, is the throughput meter. indicator can be snapped in to the main panel: http://smartftp.com/img/screenshot.speed.png every feature you could want INCLUDING FXP: http://smartftp.com/features.php all this AND many solid support options -- remember this is freeware http://smartftp.com/support/
  5. Associated? I use it. I profit nothing from you using this product if that's what you mean. This is an altruistic posting. I like the program. I reallllly like this program. Most great software gets grassroots promotion. I benefit by encouraging others to use this program thereby keeping the developer hard at work cranking out upgrades so I'll be able to continue using a great antispam product. Maybe I'm not as altruistic as I thought. A little selfish and a little selfless. the best of both? Kick the spam to the curb with Disruptor OL! As I stated I have beta tested it. Here I'll change the links.. geeez in the spirit of full disclosure there are two versions available on the site. A final release product and a new, more heavily featured beta for power users. This product can be used in tandem with IzzyMail to de-spam your AOL email accounts, or any webmail account like hotmail and yahoo. It's great for exchange. it requires ZERO changes to your outlook settings (unlike other outlook products). Thumbs Up What other programs does thatguy like? thatguy also delights in Proxomitron (no, it's not defunct). If you're a linux geek then you should lay hands on privoxy. Both filter web content stripping out annoyances like flashing things, ads, and popup code! Thatguy is particularly fond of Miranda, a multiprotocol chat client: http://miranda-im.org/ again if you're a linux geek there is an alternate product; you should try GAIM: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ this thatguy is here to help!
  6. hehe that's cute
  7. I locked myself out with a typo on email change so this isn't a bump; this is assurance of email on reply.
  8. http://BestSpamSoftware.com/ is an easy to remember url and the perfect description of Disruptor OL. If you are paranoid I've included two alternate links. click as you please -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you use an email client to access your mail as opposed to webmail like hotmail or yahoo then you should use some kind of antispam software. If you, lilke more than 80% of the business world, use Outlook as your email client you should invest in a copy of Disruptor OL: http://www.hlembke.de/prod/disruptor/ You will get hands down the best antispam software I have ever used. It has two main modes of operation. One-click install for non technical minded people, and one click to activate power user customization. It installs seamlessly as a COM addin. You need not change any of your outlook settings. I have been using it since it's first beta in December 2002. It has EVERY anti spam technology rolled into one powerful interface. I've tried about two dozen other packages and nothing comes close. (Yes, I do sound like an infomercial). I received a free license for beta testing and I liked it so much I bought an additional license. It truly is one click. After installing you will be presented with this box: This is a must have product!!!! Once installed you will get a new toolbar and this powerful drop down I'm sure you already employ some kind of message sorting. Navigate to the folder where you keep your known, good mail and whitelist all the people you trust. That's it for newbies. Power users will appreciate that EVERYTHING can be customized. Power users will enjoy regular expressions and the filter builder (now with fitler chaining). Unique to Disruptor OL is "secure message". Disruptor can strip out potentially harmful bits from your email, remove attachments, remove offsite images (how spammers track you), or simply render HTML mail to formatted text: http://www.hlembke.de/prod/disruptor/ edited to quell paranoia http://BestSpamSoftware.com --> http://www.hlembke.de/prod/disruptor/ in the same way as http://Disruptor.de --> http://www.hlembke.de/prod/disruptor/ whew
