Adam Sporka, who is behind many creative works including portable, mini metro maps, recently released something very cool: Mini Printable Thumb Calendars.
These calendars can be downloaded and printed out to form business card sized reference guides. Their tiny size allows them to fit almost anywhere and yet they contain full monthly, weekly, and daily information of a complete year. The printed version for 2007 can be folded in half to account for the full year or simply double side printed to create single sheet cards. Currently, only 2007 has an official PDF with trimming instructions. However, the 2008 version most likely will be soon released. These pieces are very cool, sophisticated emergency cards.
Instructions:
First half of the year is on one side of the card, the rest of the year is on the other. The field of numbers is shared among the six months on each side. The header of each month is appropriately aligned to show the actual days of the week. Find the month you want to read. Use your thumbs to cover the numbers that are not directly below the month header. Note the color of the month header. The last day of the month is rendered in the same color.

AllPeers is an excellent free Mozilla Firefox extension tool for file sharing and chatting. It utilizes the fast BitTorrent network to facilitate its quick file sharing. However, unlike tradition torrent engines, All Peers DOES NOT require any ports to be opened to adjust the transferring speed. In addition, it requires no other downloads except for the Firefox add-on web application. Thus, AllPeers can also be incorporated as a portable file transferring application if installed on Firefox Portable. These are significant advantages over torrent engines, email file sharing, or any other methods. -Cheng Chen
Forget email, BitTorrent, and instant messaging applications; you won’t find a better program than this. It works within the Firefox browser (an Internet Explorer version is not yet available) and thus requires no other external software. Folders can be set up to indicate specific files and to specify who has access to these files. Peers/sharers can also be notified when the files are ready. In addition to data, web pages can also be shared along with the normal media files. You will be able to view any media files you receive from other people inside Firefox. It is simply the easiest and best way of sharing files. -Jiayue Liu [Feed Elite New Employee (First Article)] Link: allpeers.com [AllPeers] Read the rest of this entry »
For those seeking portable applications, operating systems, or software/programs, Mojo Pac is the king on the hill. Rather than launching an application like the Portable Apps Launcher or U3 launcher bar, MojoPac actually runs a new instance of a compressed Windows XP Operating System. Basically, once MojoPac starts to run in full screen, a new GUI (Graphical User Interface) initiates as a new instance of Windows XP. In this instance, all the data of the operating system lies withing your USB drive. You can virtualize most of the software and applications that you use in your normal Windows OS. In this sense, MojoPac is extremely special because not only does it allow you to run any application with portability, it runs them with its own version of Windows XP. The current cost for the MojoPac Freedom edition is FREE so download it quickly. The Deluxe edition is $30, but really we don’t need its expensive features. Basically, running MojoPac is like running your Windows XP withing another Windows XP. MojoPac can be installed on most memory devices including USB flash drives, iPods, external hard drives, etc.

When ever we use our computer or PC, we leave a trail of trash. Luckily, CCleaner is here to clean it up. CCleaner is one of the best softwares designed to clean our PCs. This handy application can remove all the temporary files and junk generated by our everyday usage. It can delete private data from web browsers such as Firefox, Opera, and Internet Explorer; clean the temporary and old files; and remove junk clogging your system’s performace. However, it’s most wanted and innovative feature is its registry cleaner. CCleaner can scan your registry and find errors, old keys, uninstalled left over garbage, and many more crap. So I’m guessing that CCleaner stands for “Crap Cleaner.”
In addition, CCleaner can edit and adjust your start up programs to boost your PC’s start time. Getting rid of useless start up applications can definitely increase system speeds and performance. The new version is also portable for your USB thumb stick drive. Best of all, it’s all FREE!
