Font Utility

Arjan Mels' Font Viewer Find any character in a font set
 This program is like Character Map that comes with Windows® 95/98 except it is a lot better. It can display character sets, and it can also show you almost every font property.

 

Multi-media Viewing/Management

IrfanView 
Multimedia viewing/listening program. Supports batch conversion for file types and image acquisition from a scanner. Can play slideshows of media contained in a directory and create HTML thumbnail indexes for image libraries. Supported file types are JPG, GIF, BMP, TIF, PNG, LWF, PCX, TGA, PCD, RAS, ICO/ICL, CUR/ANI, WAV/MID/RMI/AIF/SND/AU, WMF, PPM, IFF, PSD, PSP, CPT, CLP, EPS, CAM, AVI, MPG, MOV, G3, and EXE/DLL. Incredible.

 This is what Notepad should have been. Spell checking with dictionaries available in seven languages. Can store and insert boilerplate text. Supported file types are ADM, BAT, CFG, INF, INI, HTML, JAV, and last but not least, TXT.

 

Power Text Editing

Note Tab Light 
 This is here for the power users. This features auto-correct like Microsoft® Word™ and supports clipbook libraries which can added to, edited, and others are available for download which can be useful for speeding up creation of certain types of documents. Can also change text files to HTML and vice/versa. The only thing missing from this is a spell checker, which is probably available in the professional version.

 

Selective Text Insertion

Type It In 
 A customizable toolbar for entering commonly typed information. Can be used to create boiler plate text, and is also very useful for completing registrations and entering contests on the web. Read the simple Help file to understand how to use this program. I passed this one over a while ago because I didn't spend five minutes to learn how to use this great utility (the Help file is available by right-clicking the icon in the tray).

 

Investment Tracking

Medved Quote Tracker 
 This is an "adware" program, it is free, but displays banner ads all the time (some of the advertising can be removed by sending the software producer sixty dollars). This is a great tool for monitoring investments. It features many server options for receiving ticker information, and is updateable via an internet connection. Also supports multiple portfolios for people with many investments or just to display "what-if" scenarios. Spreadsheet displays common stock info such as Bid, Ask, Last, Change, Volume, Low, and High, and displays a mini-chart. Allows you to enter information regarding number of shares owned and brokerage comission details so when it updates the info (update timing is adjustable all the way down to a continuous stream), it will also update the value of your shares and Gain/Loss as a percentage. Easy to set-up and easy to use, might be the easiest part of a financial plan which includes investments in the stock market.

 

Government E-Mail Addresses

Govern Mail 
 Have you ever wanted to e-mail a public servant? How do you find the correct address? This program, which is "adware" (paid for with banner advertising built-into the program) has the addresses for U.S. Senators, The House of Representatives, and The White House. Also, included are the addresses of many leaders of foreign countries and Parliaments. The database is updateable with an internet connection. Let your opinion be known.
