I have my notes in regular textfiles, a file per topic, which is easy to maintain. The downside is that it gets blurry where to put a note and it’s not always easy to quickly find what I’m looking for. What I want is something small and simple (no server, no database) yet powerful enough [...]

ClockSmith Lite, a nice clock with chime
In my search for a nice and simple software clock with chime I found ClockSmith Lite. It’s available for Windows and Mac. The chime is really nice and can be set to play quarterly, every half hour, hourly, or it can be turned off.
I have set the chime for every half hour in order [...]
Microsoft Security Essentials
I have been using ZoneAlarm Internet Security for a while but found it too complicated and it takes too much resources. In beginning of November Lifehacker wrote about Five Best Antivirus Applications, one of them is Microsoft Security Essentials.
A few days later Lifehacker wrote Stop Paying For Windows Security; Microsoft’s Security Tools Are Good [...]
EditPad Pro Text Editor
I have been using EditPad Lite for a longer time because of its ability to handle multiple files with a tabbed interface. EditPad Lite is quite powerful yet lacked some features that I wanted.

Seesmic Desktop
Mashable has a review of a new Twitter desktop application Seesmic Desktop: A Threat to TweetDeck? It sounds promising but also very similar to TweetDeck (which I use).

TechCrunch posted [...]
Q10 text editor
Maki, @doshdosh, tweeted about Q10 text editor. It’s freeware and Q10 says it is “a simple but powerful text editor designed and built with writers in mind”.
There are several interesting features but what hooked me is this:
Perfectly portable. A single self-contained executable file. That’s all. Easy to use with a pendrive, so you can carry [...]
Create your own short url using Shorty
A week ago @ConversationAge and I twittered about tiny-URL type links. I said “building a link collection in a smarter way means having your own link profile” and that made me research the possibility of hosting my own short URL-library. At MakeUseOf I found Advantages of creating a short URL with your domain name which [...]
