Check Out Rainlendar: Free Customizable Desktop Calendar

I've used the free version of Rainlendar (Lite) for over a year now at home and at the office. This nice calendar app puts a semi transparent calendar on your desktop. It can also have a list of upcoming events under it if you wish. The calendar fades when your mouse isn't over it so it doesn't interfere with your work. Like any calendar program you can schedule all your events (which are identified with icons on the calendar). There are a lot of options:

  • Always on top (or bottom
  • Different Skins
  • Display multiple months (or just one)
  • Display event lists
  • To-Do List
  • Recurring events
  • Variable fade/transparency
  • Search events and tasks
The Pro version ($15 Euros) offers shared calendars (on-line), Google calendar compatibility and Outlook supprt.

Free CRM Package---SplendidCRM


In business for yourself? Do sales? SplendidCRM has a free trial of their web hosted customer resource management (CRM) software. It's not really a trial. You can use it as long as you wish; they just don't guarantee it. It has a very nice tabbed layout. Couldn't really find any documentation (it's an open source product based on SugarCRM).

Go to the SplendidCRM website and click the Free Trial button (don't make the mistake I did and download the software...you want the free web-hosted version). On the next screen, click "Create private hosted trial...". Enter your information into the form. They'll send you an activation email and you're on your way.

RapidTyping: Freeware Typing Tutor

Looks like a decent typing program (folks over at Lifehacker.com get credit for finding this one). This is a freeware typing tutor.
Probably one of the most useful classes I took back in high school was my typing class. This is a skill that is a necessity now-a-days. Every incoming college student should consider improving their typing skills to save time later. Of course all of us working in an office setting need the skill.
