A better alternative to Windows Explorer



It's been quite some time since my last post. Very busy as usual but I'm glad to see new visitors popping up once in a while. Wish I could spend more time writing and sharing with you my latest findings on great and free tools that can help improve your computer/laptop usage experience. Introducing Q-Dir! Lately my work requires me to move from one directory to another, opening different types of files. With Explorer its just impossible for me to do this without getting a headache. I found Q-Dir which allows me to look at all directories in my laptop at the same time. It sure makes my life easy and my work was completed in much shorter time. Q-Dir is a freeware with small resource of 389kB. Get the details and download Q-Dir here. Here's the screenshot too.

Enjoy the different look of Gmail .. soothing to the eyes. This extension solves some of the problems faced using user scripts via the Greasemonkey extension or style via the Stylish extension to bring about the same effect. The installation link is here.

Update on Evernote

I've recently started using both the web-based and desktop version of Evernote for windows. It's loaded with useful features that's more that I can ask for. There is also the Premium version with extra capacity loading capacity but the free version is already good enough for me. First you register for an account here. Then you download the desktop version. Whatever notes you have taken using the desktop version can be easily set for synchronization with the web-based version. Other platforms are also available via iphone and windows mobile. As I mentioned in my earlier post, Evernote simplifies my work keep my notes organized and with the web-based version, I can now access my notes from other computers or laptops. Join me as an Evernote user.
