Software utilities

FruitfulTime Task manager is a nice tool that aims to simplify your daily life, using an intuitive (and cool) user interface to let you organize things to do, both for your work or personal life. With this software you can create a to-do list, and create subtask for each main task, in order to better manage your work in smaller steps. For each task you can add notes (in a rich text editor), contacts, references (both files on you PC or internet pages), and also remainders, that “”show a popup”" at specified intervals. For each subtask you can specify the priority, the start and due date, and the percentage of progress, in steps of 25 %. Finally, you can associate tags to each tasks, to better filter out unwanted data and optimize searching for a task. Last but not least, all data are secured using AES encryption system with 256 bit key.

Try it out, you’ll never get back! More information at FruitfulTime TaskManager website.

Merry Christmas!

I found a very nice discussion about Google rounded corners, which describes a way to get rounded corners from a dynamic page in Google groups. Doesn’t seem to me a good choice to rely your website design on an external tool, especially because in that url you can see the word beta, not a synonym of stability and reliability! It could be a nice starting point, you could create your own rounded corner creator just save those images for future use. Happy designing!

Polaroid Dust & Scratch Removal Utility is a very nice utility that helps you clean scans. It checks the digital images and suggest a filtering mask that can erase dust and scratches from old photos. Try it out here!
