Grate Free Programs Commonly Used

It's a small BBCode Editor that lets you write a forum posting offline including all bbcode formatting options. Other features:


Save and load your postings.


Resizable GUI.


Add signatures to your postings. (possible workaround for 255 char limit within some boards.)


Supports language english/german via Ini file. Create your own language file and simply copy it to the 'lang' subfolder.


Preview mode to see how your posting will look like.


Support for 10 user-defined BBCodes by new CustomBBCode tags button bar


F-Key (F1, F2, ...) Hotkeys for easier formatting. Including the standard Alt hotkeys known from phpbb.


Tag compose mode - add more than one bbcode tag by using Ctrl key




At the moment the script is specialised for the phpbb forum, but it can be adjusted for any other forum. Due to using RegEx inside the script, your version of Autohotkey has to be 1.0.46+ when you want to use the source code (Autohotkey scripts) instead of the compiled .exe.




If you have created a language file on your own, feel free to share it with the community. I'll add it to a future release if you're interested.

What is KeePass?


Today you need to remember many passwords. You need a password for the Windows network logon, your e-mail account, your homepage's FTP password, online passwords (like website member account), etc. etc. etc. The list is endless. Also, you should use different passwords for each account. Because if you use only one password everywhere and someone gets this password you have a problem... A serious problem. The thief would have access to your e-mail account, homepage, etc. Unimaginable.




KeePass is a free open source password manager, which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key file. So you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish). For more information, see the features page.









Is it really free?


Yes, KeePass is really free, and more than that: it is open source (OSI certified). You can have a look at its full source and check whether the encryption algorithms are implemented correctly.

Spybot - Search & Destroy©®


Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

The thing that i love the most about KeePass is that it has a self type program integrated, all you do is find the account that you want to signin to click on the login text box (make sure that curser is blinking inside text box) then right click on the account on KeePass and select Perform - Auto Type and you are in that simple. =)



Here is a grate screenshot of KeePass.



You can download KeePass Portable, or KeePass Installer,for Windows.



I use KeePass Portable and I use the normal installed version and I have had no problems at all in fact I highly recommend it, as well as I recommend to sue TrueCrypt to keep all important files and documents safe and secure.



Note: Make sure to download vesion 1.16 this way you can use the same file format for portable use and Windows installation version.




Warning: KeePass also has a very strong encryption program and just like TrueCrypt if you loose or forget your password you better remember them because there is no way to recover them.

Blogg with portable Zoundry Raven

I have bin using

Zoundry Raven

for my blogging and it's grate. It also can be use portable and it is simple to use.

Notes:

• Make sure to install portable first, when portable installation finishes remove "Thumb drive/Flash drive" then reboot your computer. Once you have rebooted your computer you can then install it directly to your C:\Program Files directory in your HDD (Hard Drive). This will avoid a miner problem that I had for not doing this steps in the first place.

• And an other thing to keep in mind is that when you are using a blogging program like for Blogger you most keep your blogs theme at default, for it will not show the context of what you have just published.

• If you do have a theme for you blog you can do what I do and that is to copy code of the blog from the program and then paste it to blogger this also lets me work offline so that I can post it when I'm ready to post what I want, and that way I don't have to be in a hurrye. It is a bit of work but it is worth it. =)
