Software to help you be more productive: Clipboardmonitor


I did not like the drudgery of copying text and then opening file and pasting it. Too much to and fro clicking for a lazy fellow like me ;).

As all computer lovers do : I wrote this small application "Clipboardmonitor". What it does is It  works in background and copies any text you put on clipboard to a text file (.txt) you have selected.
You can quickly access it by right clicking the icon in Notification bar or double clicking the icon to bring the main window from background.

Other features:
  1. You can pause/resume the application by right clicking icon in notification bar and selecting Pause/Resume.
  2. You can manually edit the text in main application window and save the file.
  3. Undo option (from Notification icon) is used to pause the application and restore the last text you copied back to clipboard. (Yeah! that happens when You are multitasking :) ).


Download Here :- Clippy at work

How to run:
Just unzip the file and run Clipboardmonitor.exe

Notification:
  1. No financial guarantee/warranty on using software But It worked well for me. Hope it helps you too. :)
  2. Since this is an executable file (.exe) Your browser will prompt you first whether you want to run it. I say "Go ahead run it." These are trust issues :)

Kinds of men

There is a famous saying
"If you want to test a man's character, give him power."

True! but often desperate circumstances reveal much more about men than extravagant ones. Trying circumstances show that the Verities people believe in is are just fair-weather belief or they will stick to them even when there is a cost to having them.

At the risk of sounding too simplistic, Here is an example : Most people (except psychos) do not like being pushed or shoving people, basically crowding around when making a queue is possible. Now if say sweets (Or replace it with your favourite dish ;)) are being distributed and you are at the end of line. What would you do? Cut queues and get sweets early because you may or may not get them if you stick to the queue OR Patiently follow the queue respecting other people's time and punctuality.

Therefore I propose an idea:
Men are truly revealed in desperate situations.

- Your's truly

P.S. Great things are simple.

Dreams

Dreams are amazing. They create a outlandish world where reality clashes with the subconscious creating heightened fear and joy. Sometimes You are so struck by fear feeling frozen and numb unable to get away from it while at other times You feel so much joy that You don't want to wake up. Happy dreaming! :)

Tattooed shoulders and arms

Just a thought
Is this the declaration of one's beliefs to the world OR a reminder of one's beliefs

Perhaps, Many get it for 'coolness quotient'.
