Compress Photos on the Fly!

There are not many people left, who do not use digital images for storing and sharing with friends. It is so convenient and easy to do. However, the default settings on the modern digital cameras create big image files for the better resolution. It is good, as your pic quality is high. However, when you need to share the image through web interface, mobile communication, email, or messenger, your submission size is a problem. It might also create an issue to your recipient, if, for example, huge attachment, consisting from your pictures, is clogging the email account with limited reception capabilities.

Now, finally, you can attach dozens of photos to emails without any problems without making any resizing or cropping. You can upload to your blog or website in seconds, and share with your friends instantly! The magic free resizing tool, Shrink Pic, automatically detects when you send photos by email, Instant Messenger or web browser and compresses them for you. There’s no need to make duplicates and resize - it all happens instantly, when you send photos.

Shrink Pic runs in the background. It has a taskbar icon which tells you it’s waiting for photos to be sent.

Then, when it detects that you’re sending a large photo, it automatically creates a temporary copy, resizes it and sends it instead. It gives you a notice message, so you’ll know the photo you sent was resized. Of course, the original photo doesn’t change, only the temporary copy.

You can control how Shrink Pic resizes your photos. Select between three automatic resize levels or enter your own custom sizes. Shrink Pic also recognizes rotated photos (portrait layout) and resizes them intelligently, so you don’t need to worry about that too.

Birthday Reminder to make your life easier

The most effective way to remember your wife’s birthday is to forget it once. In some cases, very simple software utilities can improve significantly daily life, reduce amount of stress and tension. For example, free portable application Birthday Reminder will do exactly, what you can imagine according to its clear title.

Birthday reminder will alert you to birthdays you need to remember, in advance of those dates.

The software is easy to configure. Clicking the Options button allows you to manage the birthdays, choose how far in advance you want to be reminded for each, which icon you’d like to use for that person, and set other options.

You’ll ask is that is all software can do for you? Yes, it is. Definitely, this feature can be setup as part of the regular reminder program, or part of the email program (Outlook, for example) operations. But, do we really need to mix all our appointments and dates to remember at the same location? I prefer to keep birthdays separate. Especially, since the software is very small, fast, does not need to be installed, and can be easily carried on USB drive.
