Lifehacker Download of the Day: GridMove

I work on a 21" widescreen monitor, so I rarely maximize windows to cover my full desktop. In fact, I find that working with two windows side-by-side is a major productivity boon for me. As such, I'm loving GridMove, which makes it easy for me to snap windows into clean, pre-defined spaces so that I don't have to resize them and drag them around to make the most of my screen real estate.

Lifehacker Download of the Day: fSekrit

Much like previously-mentioned LockNote, fSekrit's even better because 1.) it weighs in less than the LockNote file size at a mere 40KB and 2.) it allows you to save it as a different file name for different notes. For example, you could have a passwords.exe and an addressbook.exe file on your thumb drive passworded by fSekrit without having to go through the whole save and rename rigamarole. This one should've originally gone into the Carry your life on thumb drive article.

Screenshot Captor: The most full-featured screenshot app I've seen

Screenshot Captor is an advanced, full-featured screenshot application boasting an impressive feature set that rivals the shareware favorite, SnagIt. In all, Screenshot Captor may be the most full-featured screenshot app I've seen, freeware or otherwise. On the other hand, it does have a slightly steeper learning curve, so if there's a downside, that may be it.

You won't find a more full-featured screen capture program for less

There are many professional tools that streamline this process, but their cost seems hard to justify for taking the occasional screen grab. Fortunately, there is Screenshot Captor, which is full of features and is free. In addition to warm fuzzies, donations garner small perks at the site and guaranteed free access to future software, should it become commercial. Neat idea.. After you use SC a while, you'll probably want to make a donation; it's that good.

Bursting with other useful functions

Slip a little virtual ginseng into Clipboard with Clipboard Help+Spell. This powerful program automatically stores every item you select and Control-C. It marks every entry with the date and lets you sort the entries into groups. The Quick Filter function searches for entries containing the words you specify.. This program is bursting with other useful functions, such as the ability to type Clipboard text directly into Clipboard Help+Spell and a button to paste the text to the last open window of any program, when possible. Clipboard Help+Spell is easy to configure to the way you work, making it an excellent companion on any PC.

Still dreaming of your own personal robot?

Still dreaming of your own personal robot? Technology isn't there yet, but you can have a personal computer robot to save you time and serve your whims. Another benefit of FARR -- one that makes it different from SlickRun and other favorites--is that it comes from a developer at donationcoder.com, an active site for software developers. The forums there are lively, but not too busy to keep up with. Browse through the Farr Add-ons forum to unearth old standby plug-ins and discover new ones just as they post.
