TextPad: better than Notepad

DEXTER'S BLOG'S

Everyone who uses Windows has used Notepad at one time or another. Notepad is great for quick and simple editing tasks. If you need to change a few words in a small text file, it’s perfect. Many users get frustrated, though, by the lack of a few more advanced options that would make it a much better editor. If you’ve ever tried to edit a very large file or even a unix file in Notepad, you know what I mean.

A great choice for those frustrated users is TextPad from Helios Software Solutions. TextPad is a smart plain text editor that has many advanced features available for complex editing, but it is also an inexpensive and lightweight solution for those who just need a basic text editor.

Features include the ability to edit huge files, syntax highlighting (great for programmers and web developers), spell checker in 10 different languages, simultaneous editing of multiple files, block column selection, drag and drop editing, and unlimited undo/redo capability. There is even a search and replace feature that allows you to use UNIX style regular expressions.

If you have a need for a plain text editor that’s better than Notepad, check out TextPad.

OneAlert: Easy reminder calendar

DEXTER'S BLOG'S

OneAlert is a lightweight and powerful reminder system with a simple calendar. It comes from the same people who make “MyLife Organized” which i recently reviewed. This is one of those really simple programs that’s also really powerful and useful. You simple type in a reminder and time to be reminded.

There are different alerts can be set for a reminder (like play a sound, run application or send e-mail). You can also set reoccurring reminders, for example, the same day and time each week.

You can mark an individual day or number of days with specific color. OneAlert can help you to count the number of selected days and show how many days left to your vacation.

Here is the fast three-step scenario of adding new reminder to OneAlert:

1. While working in any application press OneAlert hotkey (Win+Down by default)
2. Type in OneAlert parsing console: “Call Katrin in 15 min” and press Ctrl+Enter
3. Press OneAlert hotkey again to return to application you worked with.

If you want to customize your reminder then just press Enter instead of Ctrl+Enter in step 2 and add additional parameters for your reminder (note, recurrence, different alert actions like send e-mail or run an application).

You can download this program free, with a reminder limit of a 10 a day (not bad really) or unlimited reminders if you have already bought “mylife Organized”.

DEXTER'S BLOG'S

Here is a powerful download tool for you. It is very useful and efficient in downloading files from Internet servers. It is called Net Transport.

Net Transport now supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, MMS (Microsoft Media Services), and RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) - five protocols used to transfer data.

Its main features include:

• Simple but powerful “File Manager” to categorize and manage downloaded files more efficiently
• Simple multi-user management. You can maintain several databases by logging on Windows with different username
• You can use the inbuilt “Site Explorer” to list the directory structure of the remote server, and easily select the desired files. FTP is the most powerful item in NetXfer
• FTP reuse mechanism allows you to use one connection to get different files from the same site. If you like, you can use accessory FTP client tool called “FTP Transport (FtpXfer)”
• The “Multiple Proxies mode” allows you to assign every working thread a different proxy to break certain site restrictions, like only one connection per IP.

And so much more.

One great thing about it is that it works well with all Windows OS and though it’s a shareware you can check out the trial download for a while before buying the full version, it has a 90 day timeout.
