I put together a brief overview of five utilities for Windows that I find useful for saving time and helping me actually use my computer, instead of spending time fixing it. I’ve included anti-spyware, a launcher, clipboard manager, automated backup, and disk usage utilities.
This is an attempt to document how I used Drupal, the popular CMS, to create the website for the Tampa Bay Independent Media Center. While my goal was a community-based news site, I believe this can be useful for anyone looking to create a dynamic yet simple and clean website. No knowledge of HTML, CSS, PHP or other markup/programming language is basically necessary, as I was able to build this entire website by simply configuring Drupal from the graphical administrative interface (besides some small optional hacks for aesthetical purposes).
I highly recommend Gmail if you haven’t checked it out already. The web interface allows you to access your email from anywhere, I rarely get any spam in my Inbox, there’s ton of free storage space, and email conversations are threaded making it easier to keep track of messages (i.e. you see a single email rather than 50 “Re: Hello” messages).
