Introducing the Lockergnome
Blogging Network - an easy way for you to start down the path of
publishing online. Weblogs, also known as blogs, are nothing more than
online journals. What's more, NO prior knowledge of geeky
abbreviations is required to start one! Blogs have been used for
informing people faster than the mainstream press, since the news can
break anywhere and bloggers write with few limitations. A blog can be
about movies, collecting, politics, art, giant monkeys attacking
orphans... whatever you feel like sharing! Keep your family and
friends up-to-date, or demonstrate business expertise.
Acoo Browser is
multi-tabbed browser interface for Internet Explorer, that also
supports customizable ad filtering and popup blocking, URL aliases and
more. In addition, it allows you to create groups of Favorites that
can be launched simultaneously, as well as support for mouse gestures.
Other than that, the interface and functionality is very similar to
the standard IE features, and all IE functionality is available from
within Acoo Browser.....
Easy
HTML To Any Script Converter allows you to quickly convert HTML code
to ASP, PHP, Perl, JSP or _javascript_ output. It adds the required script identifications, as well as string output (echo, response write etc.) can perform replacements as well. You can edit the conversion templates and add your custom code templates if they are not included by default. The program supports input from the clipboard, and can also convert single or multiple files.

text from any window, including dialog boxes, protected Web pages, PDF
files, error messages and so on. The program offers several capture
modes, including a regular screen capture that includes images as well
as appending of captured text and RTF format. Screen OCR runs in the
system tray and can be triggered by clicking the icon or using a
keyboard hotkey.....

browser, CD playback, and support for DirectX plug-ins. Furthermore,
it offers random play, repeat mode and intro scan as well playlist
search, sort and shuffle.....

consolidate the results in a single result list. It supports boolean

relavancy. In addition, it offers support for image searches, news

the results to HTML. Advanced users can fiddle with the config file
and edit or add search engines to the list. The interface is plain
vanilla, but efficient and straight forward to use.....
PhishGuard is a
software/service that helps you detect and block phishing or spoofing
attempts, usually designed to lure you into providing personal or
credit card information to fake online sites. The program integrates
into Internet Explorer and warns you whenever you visit a site that is
known to be a scam. It uses an online community database that you can
easily submit suspicious links or emails to, by using a simple drop
icon on your desktop. We tested the software with three random
phishing scams from our mailbox and it detected and intercepted all
three.....
Country Codes is a small
database of country codes and additional information for more than 250
countries. It displays their location (continent), ISO 3166-1 Alpha
2-3 codes and ISO number as well as IDDD (International Direct

Level Domain) code and the current time in the country. The program
provides checkboxes, that allow you to copy all or just selected
information to the clipboard. In addition, it provides IP to country
conversion, and a handy link for each country that launches your

the location of a selected country on a world map.....

quite powerful backup and synchronization program that allows to to
maintain backup copies of your files and folder, or to synchronize

how older and newer files are processed, which files should be
excluded (by mask) and more. It offers standard file comparison based
on the date and size, as well as optional MD5 checksum, which will
detect even the slightest modifications to files. SyncBack also
supports scheduled projects, FTP and zip compression of backups, as
well as network login, simulation runs and more.....

deleted files in any physical partitions or physical drives gives you
far more powerful recovery options than any other undeleting tool.

http://windows.fileoftheday.com/archives/games_ecoball.html
The year is 2505. The ozone layer has been seriously weakened by
CFC gases in the atmosphere. Dangerous rays from the sun are already
beginning to reach the Earth, turning many people into mutant apes
(ed. note: That's funny - the future's a lot like now, it would
seem!). To contain the situation, a crack team of scientists have put
together a device known as the 'EcoBall.'
The EcoBall is a remote controlled ball capable of collecting and
eliminating the dangerous gases from of the air. As its pilot, the
Earth's future lies in your shaky hands. Controlling it will be no
easy task; the ball is equipped only with vertical thrusters. Watch
out for the storm clouds - one shock and your plans will be
ruined!
Good luck, pilot!
Features Fun, addictive arcade action! Online high-scores: compare
your scores and times with others! Colorful graphics and explosive
sound. Joypad or keyboard controlled. 'Rumble' used if supported by
the joypad.
Requirements Windows DirectX Internet connection Graphics card
capable of 800x600 in 32-bit or 24-bit

Feeding Frenzy (Games)
http://windows.fileoftheday.com/archives/games_feeding_frenzy.html
Everyone's seen or experienced an aquarium screensaver, but imagine
if that aquarium screensaver were actually an interactive arcade game.
You're an individual fish that has to eat smaller fish to survive
while avoiding bigger fish that want to eat you. That's what Feeding
Frenzy is all about. We were skeptical about this particular game, but
minutes after installing it, we were hooked!
Feeding Frenzy plays like this - you move your fish around the
screen using your mouse. You start out as a small fry, but will
quickly grow in size as you eat more and more fish. Make sure to look
at your Food Chain Meter to figure out what's OK for you to eat! If
you try to eat a fish that's bigger than you are, you get eaten
yourself. Do this too many times and it's game over. As you advance
through the game, new options and powers become available to you,
including bonus levels that challenge you to eat as many fish for a
specific time interval as possible. As you advance to new levels,
you'll become a bigger fish with additional properties. The in-game
help screens also provide you with hints on what certain predators and
objects can do to impede your progress on gorging!
A second mode of play is based on a timer. You are allotted a
certain interval when you first start. If you complete a specific
level under the timer, your seconds are added to your next round.
Since there are 40 ever-more-difficult levels, it's as challenging
as Ricochet and you'll actually develop very good hand / mouse
coordination. A nice bonus is that after continuous play, you build
enough points that award you with an actual Windows XP marine aquarium
screensaver being installed on your PC. Rating a game in graphics,
animation, creativity, and addictiveness, we give Feeding Frenzy a 4.7
out of 5.0.
