I never learned to type correctly. I’ve tried several programs but my favourite is Gtypist. It’s available for both Windows and Linux and has helped me improve my typing technique a lot.

For some reason, I wanted Thunderbird to run at startup, and to run in the tray. Email is just one of those programs I like to have running all the time, but I don’t want it cluttering up the taskbar. I wasn’t able to find an addon to make Thunderbird run in the tray the way I wanted, but after some searching I found AllTray which solves the problem perfectly.

After receiving some good feedback from everyone who has downloaded my Tomfox Firefox extension for Tomboy Notes, I’m releasing an update.

I’ve written a Firefox extension which adds a Tomboy option to the right click menu. Text can be sent to a Tomboy note directly from the browser. See this link for more information: http://harrycoal.co.uk/tomfox/

There are a lot of file recovery utilities out there, but my favourite has to be Handy Recovery. They are up to version 4 now, but they very kindly offer version 1.0 as freeware and it has always served me well.
