I wanted to do a quick review of Klok. Klok is an Adobe Air time tracker application that is available free of charge. I’ve been using Klok for about 3 months now to track the billable hours when at work. From what i understand this application is a one man creation and is very well done. I’ve got my co-works hooked on using it also. I’ve tried multiple time tracking programs and i must say Klok takes the cake. Check it out here: http://klok.mcgraphix.com/klok and leave a comment on what you think about it.
I wanted give my two cents on a couple of Apps i just discovered. I have just added a link to download Zolved.com remote support client. I have used this now for about a week, its been working out well. Zolved is a free remote support host. The reason I’m liking it is because it’s easy (no sign up necessary) and it works well (connection is fairly fast). Along with the remote connection Zolved also gives you the option to send files across computers. At my job we use two remote connection hosts, WEBEX and Linktivity. Both are excellent choices, but they cost a good amount of money. I use Zolved to support my family and friends when they are in need.
The second Apps i want to write about is Dropbox available at getdropbox.com. I did some searching on the blogosphere and found a guy offering an invite. Dropbox is internet file storage which offers both a desktop client and a web interface. Both the local folder and web interface have there perks. When you install Dropbox on your PC it will add a folder in your My Documents that syncs up to your internet storage space. The real advantage to this space is it allows you to sync a folder between computers, in my case between work and home. Whenever Dropbox detects a change on any of your computers it will sync it across all of them. Dropbox also creates a folder named Public. Any files you put into the Public folder is assigned a web link that you can send to anyone. Anyone can then use that link to download your file. The big advantage of all this is that there is no file size limit! The web interface also has its purpose. You can go to your Dropbox internet space on computer you may not want to install the local client. The big feature of the web app is it includes file versioning and stores copies of deleted items. Currently Dropbox is invite only and offers 2GB of free space to beta users. The company says they have future plans for paid plans that will offer more storage, but they promise to keep the free version as well.
If you have any questions about these products please leave a comment. I will also keep everyone updated on my experience with them.
