Software Tools
Here are some "timeless" and lesser-known software tools that I find to be very handy for my daily computer/internet use.
GraphCalc
Replaces default Calculator. Surprisingly useful scientific/graphing calculator. Everything Simple yet very powerful & fast file/folder search tool. Image Resizer Provides quick & easy way to resize images from the right-click menu. Notepad++ A feature-filled Notepad replacement for developers, i.e. syntax writing/reading, debugging etc. Paint.Net A good, free compromise between MS Paint and Adobe Photoshop. FormatFactory Easily converts almost any audio/video file to another format/size. Clipconverter.cc (WebApp) Website that extracts and downloadst online media from YouTube and such. Zotero Software for storing & adding citations in essays/project/papers, this software (and its MS Word Add-in) is a must for any academic writer. |
