Convert PDFs to HTML and e-Book Formats

Amazon’s Kindle Fire is a testament to the popularity of e-readers. These devices are a book lover’s dream, holding a complete library in less space than a single book would take in a briefcase or purse. PDFs are completely compatibly with most e-readers, but unfortunately, the text of a PDF is small, and when we zoom in on it, we end up scrolling awkwardly to try to understand the text of the document.

Almost everyone who owns a USB drive has accidentally left it plugged into a computer somewhere. Forgetting your USB drive means potentially losing all data stored on the drive, but it also leaves the data exposed for anyone to see, since very few people password protect these devices.
One way to keep from forgetting your USB drive while it is plugged into a computer is to install a reminder software like USB Alert on your drive.
From USB Alert’s homepage, click the link to download the portable version of the software. Save it somewhere on your computer.

Windows’ native file structure organizes files in categories, like a filing cabinet in an office. For most of the world, this makes sense, but for those who create and edit a great number of documents, a time-specific filing system may be more useful instead of trying to remember the folder in which a document is stored.
Nemo Documents organizes documents in a calendar view, easily displaying the documents you modified or created on any given day.
Click the green Free Download button on the Nemo Documents hompage. The software will immediately begin downloading.

File Repair is free software designed to restore damaged and corrupted files. It can repair Word, Excel, Zip, RAR, video, image, PDF, Access, PowerPoint and music files.

A change of scenery is good for mental health, but most of us spend our days staring at our computer screens. The only change of scenery available to us is through our desktop wallpaper. In Windows 7 and Vista, there are several ways to rotate wallpaper automatically, such as with an RSS feed, but this only rotates the wallpaper once a day or so.
With Pulse, you can rotate wallpaper every few minutes by specifying a keyword and allowing the small program to run in the background.
