Print your Window’s file directories easily

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Have you ever needed to print off your file directories or send a email with the directories of a CD or hard drive?  Sometimes if you are sending a file off to a professional printer they require you to print a directory from your CD that you send to them.  Sure you could make a screenshot, or print from Nero but chances are it won’t be this easy.  You simply select the directory you are looking for choose the file and folder info you would like to be displayed and press the print button.  You can also save the file to your disk.

Create a Firefox Search Plugin with only a right click

I don’t know about you but I am a huge Craigslist fan, and when I realized that I could search for eBay items in the Firefox search box but there was no easy way to create a search plugin for Craigslist I went searching.  What I found was this really cool plugin that allows you to take any search box on a site and make a specialized search plugin out of it with only right click.  On the image above you see me making my own Detroit Craigslist plugin.  Add to search bar lets you add Firefox search functionality to just about any site.

Keep those iPhone urges at bay with “Home” for Windows Mobile

Are you stuck with a Windows Mobile phone whether it be a newly purchased phone or a new contract?  Or maybe you just like the network that you are on but are having some urges to have something a little iPhoneish.  I use Verizon Wireless and have been trying to resist the urge to go buy a iPhone.  For two reasons really, number one I just got a Treo 700wx a while back and cannot justify spending the extra cash for a iPhone.  Also believe it or not Verizon Wireless’s network is really good here with EVDO speeds that are decent.  Oh and of course I can install software without “jailbreaking” something. So I’ve tried some of the themes that make my phone act like a iPhone to keep the iPhone urges at bay only to be disappointed in the end. 

Well fortunetaly this little company called Pointui has created some software called Home that effectively runs over top Windows Mobile and creates a easy to use touch screen interface.  No need to pull out that stylus all the main functions of the phone are articulated with Mr. Thumb. Using their Applet ribbon you can easily access the time, tasks, appointments, calendar and up to date weather forecasts and current temperatures.  There’s just a whole lot to like here so I recommend trying it out if you are Windows Mobile user.  The software is beta, but I was hard pressed to find a bug other than having to manually create it as a startup item.  Come on guys have some faith in your software.

Copy and Paste, only better, without the internet

Copy and Paste are functions each and everyone of use everyday but seldom do we ask can we do better?  While other sites are bubbling about copying to the web we here think thats just plain dumb.  To take your sensitive data and truck it to the internet for others to possibly see is stupid.  Let alone the fact that those services end up costing you money.  ClipDiary is a solidly built free tool that very simply allows you to capture your copy and pastes for later use.  Whether you need something copied a few minutes ago or last week its all there.  Clipdiary can log clipboard history and record datain several formats: plain text, RTF (Rich Text Format) and bitmap images (BMP). So, besides saving parts of text, you can easily make series of screenshots, and Clipdiary will save them for you.
