Fast and secure address book

Submitted by doward on December 5, 2008 - 9:44pm

Hi,

I know Thunderbird has an address book but it's buried in the email client and not easely accessible. I have portable apps on a thumb drive : What happens if I loose it. My Address book is not even lightly protected in there.
Could you guys separate the address book, or build an fast to use and easy to secure address book ?
Maybe scramble the content with encryption even...

Thanks for a great concept.
Someone showed this to me and it totally fits my work style !
No more lapetop and cables to carry ! My back and camera say : Thanks!

Submitted by ila.1a on December 5, 2008 - 11:27am

Hi it would be good if there was portable axiom program
it is open source computer algebra system
it has several "forks" - differrent ways of development.
one of sites is : http://axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org/FrontPage
others are:
http://axiom-developer.org/
http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=200168 - fricas - uses cygwin (for windows)
http://www.open-axiom.org/ - open axiom

axiom uses several graphical interfaces
one of them is Wintexmacs/texmacs
site is:
http://www.texmacs.org/
(win)texmacs works with axiom if certain file
(AXIOMsys.exe) is in the search PATH

Celtx for creative & colaborative projects

Submitted by aahhaa on December 4, 2008 - 5:22pm

Celtx is a free, multiplatform, & global Firefox-based program that on one end handles the print formatting needs of scriptwriters, media & event producers, etc; and on the other handles planning and promotion of many kinds of complex productions.
(Most programs of this type cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars.)

It would be extremely handy to be able to carry Celtx around, most users wind up having it on several computers, with the resultant multiple versions of their work. It also is being used around the world by people who...well, aren't boring!:]

Chiming clock

Submitted by foxcole on December 4, 2008 - 11:17am

I was surprised I couldn't find anything like this online. I would like a desktop clock that chimes on the quarter hour (chiming incrementally like a grandfather clock so you can hear the specific hour, :15, :30, or :45) and that displays the current time.
