Folder Marker
August 17, 2006
A really cool little utility to help you be productive.
This utility lets you change folder icon (mark folders) by priority (high,
normal, low), level of project completeness (done, half-done, planned)
and type of information stored in them (work, important, temp and
private files).
Since I’m a visual person, this application is extremely useful for
me, because I can see at a glance now which folders are waiting for my
urgent attention. Folder Marker is a free download, Windows only.

Universal AutoCorrect
August 8, 2006
I stumbled accross this yesterday and found it extemely helpful. I have all of these codes set up for me in Word autocorrect. Now I can use them on the web.
Windows only: Blogger Jim Biancolo has put together an excellent AutoHotKey script that will automatically correct a predefined list of misspellings, à la Microsoft Word’s AutoCorrect feature.We’ve seen all of your most common typos, but Jim went a step further to create his AutoCorrect, using Wikipedia’s huge list of common misspellings. So not only does the AutoCorrect handle your everyday “teh’s” – it will also handle a much larger set of probelmed words (<– unfortunately it’s not savvy to pluralization or tense changes).Since AHK apps are always running in the background, what you end up with is a “cross-application AutoCorrect.”For whatever reason, Jim didn’t compile the script as an executable, so I went ahead and did so (you can download it at the second link below). If you want to look at the source script and possibly add or remove a few words, maybe add pluralization support, or just get a look at a great AHK program, Jim makes the script available for download at his site. — Adam PashUniversal AutoCorrect with AutoHotKey and Wikipedia [biancolo.com]Download Universal Autocorrect.exe

Skype Web Toolbar
August 3, 2006
I have found Skype really useful in ministry, especially since they have made calls to US phone numbers free. This toolbar really makes calls really quick.
Windows only: make your Skype experience even sweeter with the Skype Web Toolbar.
Once you’ve gone through the quick download and install process, the
Skype Web Toolbar magically recognizes phone numbers and Skype
usernames whenever you come across them on the web. See someone you
want to call? With the Skype Web Toolbar, you’re able to gab with one
convenient click. The Skype Web Toolbar is a free download, Windows
only, available for both Firefox and Internet Explorer. — Wendy Boswell
