Web Console is a web-based application that allows remote users to execute UNIX/Windows shell commands on a server, upload/download files to/from server, edit text files directly on a server and much more. The application is represented as a web page that accepts user input such as a command, executes that command on a remote web server, and shows command output in a browser. As well, simple and functional file manager build-in into the application.

Web Console is open-source software written on Perl using AJAX technology. The application is very light, does not require any database, and can be uploaded, configured and ready to use in about 10 minutes (no need server administrator permissions for installation).

Here is an illustration of how Web Console works:

Registry data is constantly being written to and removed during a normal Windows operation. Over time this data becomes fragmented. Here comes Quicksys RegDefrag, a freeware utility to defrag your registry. It optimizes registry by removing gaps, fragments and wasted space in Windows registry files.

RegDefrag begins by analyzing your system’s registry. If your registry is sufficiently fragmented, RegDefrag will give you the option to defragment. Unfortunately, there are no backup options (unless RegDefrag performs them behind the scenes, but we wouldn’t count on it), which means you’re out of luck should RegDefrag decide to remove or defragment the wrong files.

Amic Email Backup is a handy software tool for Microsoft Windows based PCs designed to create backup copy of your email database. Amic Email Backup can save emails, address book, settings, mail and news accounts, message rules, blocked senders lists and signatures to a single, compact, compressed backup file that can be easily restored when necessary.

Most computer users do not have anything else to backup except their email, as all other files can be restored from original software CDs if a virus or hdd crash make the computer unusable.

This is where Amic Email Backup comes to rescue, it allows the home and small business computer user to save the email folders and settings easily, either manually or automated at periodic times. This eliminates the need for an uncessesary complex and expensive complete backup software.

The software is easy to use, and has has two working modes, a Wizard mode and a standard mode.

The Schedule feature allows you to backup the email database daily, weekly or at any chosen time period. The email database can be saved on one computer and restored to another, thus making Amic Email Backup not just a backup utility but also a synchronization tool.

Unlike other email backup utilities Amic Email Backup works with the top 9 popular Email Clients such as MS Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Netscape Messenger, IncrediMail and PocoMail.

As a long time Windows user you might have heard about registry. The registry is a special file in your hard disk that hold most of Windows settings data.

The older readers can remember the game called SimTower, released in 1995 as a gift along with SimiCity2000.

The aim of SimTower is to build a hundred story tower block filled with offices, condos, shops, restaurants,a hotel, a cinema and a party hall. Your tower will also need a medical centre, good security, adequate parking and good recycling facilities. The eventual aim is to place a cathedral on the top and win the game.

At the start of SimTower you only have the option to build offices, cafes and condos. I would advise offices as the best place to start as they bring in a weekly rent and the occupants will not be as fussy as those who move into your condos. If you do choose to build condos keep them well away from your offices as the residents will not like the noise of the workers coming and going. Once you have been upgraded to a two-star tower, a hotel is the way to advance. Where offices pay rent by the week, hotel rooms pay by the night so you will see money come in much quicker.

Remember that everyone in your tower is an individual with feelings. If you have 1200 people trying to get into 1 elevator people are going to get stressed. Fortunately, if you have the money, you can put up to 8 elevator cars in one shaft (sounds dangerous to me!) which will reduce those stress levels
