Back in November we wrote an article that walked through the usefulness of a free application called CrossLoop. In some ways it is like Remote Desktop where you can remotely control a computer, but it has a lot of features you won’t find anywhere else.

WireNote is a free application that’s available which will manage your to-do list, sticky notes, reminders, and lots of other things. It has an overabundance of configuration options that are almost overwhelming at first, but you’ll come to grips with them.

It’s been a little while since we have come across freeware software that made us all giggly inside, but Nubs (Download Mirror for version 1.1) is just that. It essentially puts tabs (which the program calls Nubs) around the border of your screen so that you can quickly access all of your applications.

There is no doubt that 3D is going to be the way of the future when it comes to software as we have already seen with XGL in Linux.

Calgoo is a calendar application that interacts with your online Google Calendar so that you can manage your life without always being connected to the Internet.

JAlbum is an application that I have been using for a long long time as an easy way to share personal photos on our website so that our family and friends can easily access them. I've been stuck using version 6 for a long time, and even though the interface was nothing to gawk at ,it got the job done, which was what mattered the most.

A few weeks ago I was introduced to a free media player called Foobar2000 by MetaMan. He gave me a link to a portable version (called FoobarRemix) that was put together so that I could try it out without having to install the application.

Sometimes there is a key on your keyboard that just doesn't do what you want it to. Unfortunately you can't configure what each key does without the help of an external application. Thank goodness that the program  needed to change the settings is free and really easy to use.

Turning off or restarting your computer will no longer be a pain when you can't get to your PC. Thanks to a freeware program called Shutter you'll be able to remotely shutdown a computer or even schedule the computer to turn off after it meets certain criteria.

The holidays are coming up and wouldn't it be nice to know how many days there are until they arrive? To keep track of those upcoming events you should get Timeleft. It will give you a countdown so that you can see how many years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds are left until the event.
