DOWNLOAD: WebStripper - For some people, using the Internet is a pay-per-use activity. WebStripper allows you to extract all of the information from a Web page to your hard drive, making it available to view offline. All you have to do is specify the pages (or entire site) that you want to copy and then WebStripper will download all of the files for you. If you don't care about the graphical or multimedia elements, you can choose to extract only the text. Another nice feature is that WebStripper can detect if there are any new or changed pages, and then will download only the new content. Once the transfer is complete, you can disconnect from the Internet and view the pages at your own pace and leisure without having to worry about any connection charges. A free trial is available which means that you won't have to give up your dollars for this stripper, but if you like what you see, upgrade to WebStripper Pro for even more functionality.
DOWNLOAD: IE Favorites Check (IEFC) v0.5Though I rely more and more on RSS stuff, I still refuse to give up on my bookmarks (though they're a mess). Holy cow! This thing is fast! Wish there was one for Mozilla and other browsers so everyone can use it. The first column is the status column. It returns numbers like 200, 301, 302, 404, and 500. 200 means all is OK. 404 is the infamous page you get when a file is not found. For the most part, 200 is what you want to get and the others indicate a problem. The favorites should be squeaky clean after scrubbing it through the checker a few times.
DOWNLOAD: PowerBullet v1.309Before starting a presentation, I remind myself to review it and ensure it stands alone should the computer break down and the slides aren't available. Too often, I've seen presentations where the slides were THE presentation and the presenter did nothing but read the slides *yawn*. PowerBullet is a no-frills alternative for those who don't have that other presentation program we all know. The million dollar question - which is better? PowerPoint or PowerBullet? PowerPoint is the winner, but here you're getting a decent product at no cost.
