menuJust stumbled over this tool, it seem to be very practical (sure its not rocket science, but its easy and convenient) 😉 Now you can customize the context menus of Windows Explorer to add your own functionality and not only is it easy, its free as well 😀 http://www.lopesoft.com/en/index.html

spammJust a quick reminder to myself (and other interested), if you need to sign up for something (eg. you have to provide a valid email to recieve a download link, etc etc), then I have been using;

www.mailexpire.com

and this service seem to do a fairly good job.

It work like this;

  • Connect to www.mailexpire.com
  • Provide your current email, and select how long your temporary email should be valid for hours to 3 months. I would suggest at least a week or so (you can cancle it immideately at any time).
  • Accept the activation mail you get from them (in this mail you will also find your temporary email)

You are done, now simply use the mail you got in the activation mail to get those download links etc.  Its simple, safe and free 😀
