Neat thread. I'm looking for some simple staff planner/calendar software that I can keep track of who in my team is going to be working on a certain day, what hours they will be working, who's on leave, who's sick etc. I'd also like to view and print by week and month. Basic but functional. What recommendations?

Ja, I would also go for Google Apps... but you can also take a look at OpenProj...

And FreeCRM....

Hi

I had a quick scan through the thread and could not find software that manages your passwords. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I've been using Password Agent a while back. Worked perfectly for me.

Me too. I use the portable version (so I can keep a copy on a flash drive).

I use the portable version too and use a myDrive account to synchronize the version on my home pc and portable version and just to keep a backup on the net in case I lose the drive. Awesome setup...

When it comes to computing, our general philosophy at Maximum PC is that bigger is better. More, speed, more memory, more power--as far as hardware goes, there's no such things as excess. Software, though... Software's a little different. Big, feature-packed utilities and applications are great, but we prefer apps that show a little restraint.

That's why we've put together a list of 30 apps that kick ass without taking up a lot of space. Every program in this list can be downloaded for free, and takes up less than 2 megabytes of space. Read on for more!

Hi guys,

I'm looking for 'copy' software - something like TotalCopy where I can copy files and if a file name is too long or whatever, it renames it (or at least gives me the option) and can skip files, etc.

My GF gave me a drive full of "Paramedic" type documents and such, but when I try copy that contents (XP, Vista, 7) then it moans that the names are too long (255 characters) and with TC, I can't rename or whatever, it crashes - anything else?

System Spec 3.06
See, save and print a complete spec of your PC with this no-install, system information utility.

Additional advanced info includes CPU, display, memory, drives, apps and more.

System Spec is a self contained standalone EXE which can be run without installing. It lists a specification of your Windows PC without listing lots of useless memory address and unnecessary information.

This utility can be used for comparing the specifications of different machines. The spec can be outputted to a text file or printed to a report.

As well as export to CSV System Spec can now export the system information displayed on the main system to a HTML file. This HTML file can then be uploaded to your website to show off your PC's Spec. To export to HTML go to File - Export to HTML. The HTML output looks like the main screen and report
