A Cool Site For Us Forgetful Folks
I found a really neat website called ReSnooze. It looks pretty neat for those of us who are, um, forgetful, sometimes. I have a big problem with forgetting things. And NO it’s not OLD AGE! I have so much stuff crammed in my little ol’ head that it sometimes goes irretrievably spilling out! lol. My [...]
Sticky Note Software Programs
If you are like me, you forget EVERYTHING unless it is written down. But my desk is literally littered with notes, papers, scribblings, and a mass of sticky notes. Wow, to think I used to be organized! And now, I do everything from my laptop. But I can’t go sticking sticky notes to my laptop [...]
The Essential PIM for Management
I’d downloaded Essential PIM years ago, but never really used it. It was a bigger program than what I needed at the time. That was then, this is now. Back then, I did very little organizing on the computer– I didn’t even sign on every day! Today, my laptop has become my most favored accessory. [...]

Notepad Pro+

I have been hesitant to give it my thumbs up here, because I was unsure about the program, whether it would self-destruct after a day like some other open source Notepad replacements do. But I think I really, really like Notepad Pro+! It’s a free [...]
Online Scanning Service
Here’s an amazing thing: document scanning services! Sourcecorp, a New England company, provides a unique service with their document managing service, called ImageSilo. It’s a service geared toward making all the paperwork for businesses a little easier. Documents are scanned at the company, and uploaded to their “web based document repository” (conveniently named the “Image [...]
Freeing Yourself From Microsoft Office- It’s OpenOffice.org
For many years, I suffered under the grips of the only real word processing and spreadsheet program out there: the Microsoft Office Suite. At least it was better than Microsoft Works, ha ha. But Word and PowerPoint always crashed on me a lot. I learned to save my documents at every single change or line [...]
