Automate computer settings by network with Net Profiles
Freeware application Net Profiles lets you automate tasks—like mapping drives or switching the default printer—based on the network your computer is currently connected to. After experiencing the pain of constantly switching the network connection settings between home and office, I lamented that I wasn't able to find a solid freeware tool for Windows that performed similar tasks; although Net Profiles doesn't handle any of the Bluetooth proximity functionality, it looks to work very well with location actions. It can even change your default browser homepage and proxy settings, switch desktop wallpapers, and launch programs. Net Profiles is freeware - Sweet !
Finally, some cool templates for Blogger.
Blogger has always been a disappointment for me. Whenever I need a new template or new customization, I feel myself helpless. There are amazing templates for wordpress but nothing for blogger.
I cant thank Mashable enough for a wonderful compilation of great blogger templates. So, if you are sick of blogger templates, take a look.
Awesome Freeware Alternatives.
Tech site Technology Bites has compiled a monster list of forty free alternatives to popular Windows software.
These are all organized into categories: security, file transfer and sharing, multimedia, etc.
