InFormEnter is a firefox extension that allows you to quickly enter text into a form field. Once installed it shows an icon against every form field. Clicking on that icon displays a menu containing previously saved text snippets that you can enter into the form field with a single click. It also displays the option to add to the menu any content that you have manually typed into the form field.

InFormEnter is simple to use and makes it easy to fill out forms by storing commonly used values like your name or email address. You can use it to quickly fill out website registration forms, directory submission forms or any other commonly used form on the Internet. InFormEnter also allows you to create seperate profiles of text snippets.

A simple free program that I often use is ontop. On top makes a window always stay on top of other windows. This is useful if you want to copy things from one window to another or if you want to look at two documents simultaneously.

Ontop works very easily. You run it either manually or place a shortcut to it in your start menu startup folder and it will run on windows startup. When running ontop displays a small icon in the system tray. Using it is very simple. Just right click on a window title bar and you'll see the new option "Always on top". Click on that and your window will never be buried. Click it again to make it function like all other windows.

A few days ago I reviewed the classic real time strategy game Transport Tycoon Deluxe or TTD. TTD is considered by many to be abandonware since no organisation or individual claims ownership. Because of this, many versions of the game are available for free download online. However, none of these versions include any new features and so the zealous community of TTD fans have made an open source enhancement of Transport Tycoon called openttd. This version still requires the data files from the original TTD versions such as the ones I highlighted in my previous post but it also adds a number of new features.

One of my favourite all time games transport tycoon is now available for free on the Internet! Transport tycoon is a classic game that I used to love playing as a kid. Its a strategy game where you play as the owner of a transport company. You have to develop transport routes between towns and ship cargo and passengers. As a player you can transport raw materials to factories and power stations. You can also transport finished goods to developed towns. You can build airports, train stations, docks and bus stations and transport goods and people by land, air or sea. And as with every business you'll have to deal with competitors who try to take over your market share. Its is indeed real time strategy gaming at its finest!

This is an addictive free and open source game. The idea behind crack attack is that you have a mass of blocks of different colours. More blocks are added to this mass from the bottom of the screen. The aim of the game is align three or more blocks of the same colour to eliminate them. To do this you can only switch two adjacent blocks at a time using the spacebar. Sometimes more blocks fall from the top of the screen and you have to eliminate those too. The game ends if the mass of blocks exceeds the height of the playing screen. The game features eye pleasing graphics, simple controls and multiplayer options.
