“Cannot delete file: Access is denied.”

That’s a message often pops up in Windows when you’re trying to delete a file that doesn’t want to be killed. Other roadblocks include “There has been a sharing violation,” “The file is in use by another program or user,” and “Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.”

Go grab Unlocker and MoveOnBoot if you need a way to solve these problems.

wikidPad is a Wiki-like notebook for storing your thoughts, ideas, todo lists, contacts, or anything else you can think of to write down.

What makes wikidPad different from other notepad applications is the ease with which you can cross-link your information. Links in a wiki are created by typing in WikiWords. A WikiWord is any mixed case word typed into the editor. TodoList or JohnDoe are example WikiWords. The term wiki means “quick” in Hawaiian, and wikis are all about quickly linking your information together. Wikis are not a new concept, in fact there are many web based wiki servers available.

wikidPad is not a web server, or application server, or groupware solution. wikidPad is a standalone notepad like application, albeit notepad on steroids. wikidPad is like an IDE for your thoughts.

EFS is a FREE POP3 gateway for any SMTP server such as Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes or SLMail. It pulls mail from a Pop3 mailbox at your ISP and distributes the messages to users on a local SMTP mail server. EFS requires you to have a registered Internet domain name (to accept and forward mail for) EFS makes an excellent replacement for the somewhat limited Microsoft SBS Pop3 Connector.

EFS collects email from a single pop3 mailbox at your Internet Provider and redirects messages to users mailboxes on your local SMTP mail server, such as Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino, SLMail etc (commonly known as “pull-mail” software) The FREE Standard version does NOT have a user or time limitation and will work under most circumstances. You only need to register the advanced or advanced plus versions if you require additional features available.

Scratch is the minimalist’s web log. Scratch gives you nothing more than the meta-weblog API for posting. Reading is done via Atom or RSS. That’s it. There’s no HTML to hack up. You don’t have to use the same, tired old web log template that everyone else is using. Break out of that blue, rounded rectangle! Be original! Thumb your nose at those primitive apes still using the web! Use Scratch! Scratch can also serve as a framework for developing your own weblog package.
