ODDS & ENDS

Most items I have placed on my web site are amateur radio related, however, this page contains bits and pieces of non-amateur radio items that I have found useful and may be interest to you. Nothing is in any particular order — I've just placed them as they've come.

WinGrab
This is a really useful program. I use this program to capture screen images (desktop or a selected window) and save them as jpeg, tiff, png, or bmp. In addition, it has several nice features such as the ability to crop images before saving. Note: The original download site seems to be malfunctioning so I am providing this download as a courtesy. You can obtain the program's feature list and instructions posted at http://www.andras.net/wg.html for more information. (06-12-06)

Pixie
Ever visited a web page that had a neat color that you would like to use? Here's a great little color picker that will provide you that color information (in HEX, HTML, RGB, CYMK or HSV values) very quickly. I've found this a very useful little program. (06-12-06)
 

 

WinPatrol
Every PC needs a watchdog to warn you when something nasty is at the front door and making plenty of noise when something seems out of place. BillP Studios offers a free fully functional version and a paid version that has more features, including an online database of applications that provides more information. The database is very useful if you find a program running and you don't know what it is.(06-14-06)

 

Convert
