Pasteboard

Pasteboard is basically a 10 page notebook which provides space to type in or paste any text to store it - whether it's jotting down an email address or a phone number, grabbing some code to embed on your site later, writing down a few thoughts, or holding text while you cut, copy and paste between programs. Pasteboard, a quick utility for everyday use, lets you get around the limitations of a single clipboard in Windows. Its features are: 10 pages to store plain text; Rename buttons for identification; Dock toolbar any side of window; Change font and colour settings; Popup menu with cut, copy, and paste; Text and settings auto-load on start. All the text and settings are automatically saved on exit and loaded while restarting the program, so no need to bother about saving or opening files manually. The interface can be customized to suit the choice of colour and font preferences. Pasteboard scores over other similar programmes because of the "disposable" nature of its uses, helps you keep the desk clean - no more bits and pieces of info lying around on your work desk.

Pasteboard v2.1 can be downloaded at http://www.cybia.co.uk/freeware/Pasteboard.zip

QUOTE TO MULL ABOUT

There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way.

-- Christopher Darlington Morley (1890-1957)

 

Thought for the Day: Purpose guiding the way Discouragement comes from worrying about how. Inspiration comes from diving into the rich feeling of why. When you attempt to work out every detail of every step in advance, it can be confusing and frustrating. To add some powerful clarity, settle on a good, meaningful first step and take it. Getting started immediately is more important than debating with yourself about exactly how you'll finish. As long as your plans are at least one step ahead of your actions, and as long as you remember why, you'll be able to keep moving ahead. Your experience in taking the early steps will enable you to more effectively determine and execute the later steps. And in every step along the way, always remember why you have chosen to move forward. Stay in touch with why, and have faith that your sense of authentic purpose will lead you to the objective you have chosen. Step forward, and with your purpose guiding the way, find the path that takes you there. Thanks & Regards,     SiVa

 

Thought for the Day: The masterpiece You are a highly accomplished artist, creating the ongoing masterpiece of your life. It is a singularly unique work of art that comes to life more richly and more fully in your every moment. The masterpiece of your life is not the same as any other, and that is what gives it much of its beauty. It is a living, breathing, feeling work of art that is a distinctive and irreplaceable expression of wonder and joy. As you feel the remarkable reality of yourself, always remember that you transcend every label that could ever be placed on you. Though there are many ways you have been, there are countless other ways that you can yet be. Just as the darker areas of a painting and the lighter areas play off each other, so too do the varieties of your experience all add to the masterpiece of your life. With each new day, the masterpiece becomes more magnificent. In this moment, work your art well, letting it flow from your authentic heart. Give your spirit cause to soar, and forever capture the unique beauty of now within the masterpiece that is your life. Thanks & Regards, SiVa…

Skype

Skype has released the next version of its Windows client which brings with it a Facebook integration and Group Video Conferencing. You can now log in with Facebook Connect in Skype to instant message, call, and text your Facebook friends. You can view the Facebook News Feed from within Skype, also post status messages, and synchronize your status messages with Skype's "mood message." The Group video calling feature supports 10-person conversations. Skype proposes to charge for group video chats, but for now users can try out the service for free. The latest version of Skype has a better overall call quality, and its new interface should make it more intuitive to use existing Skype features. Skype's integration with Facebook is seen as a win-win for both, Facebook users would get access to a robust voice and video calling platform, and Skype, currently with 560 million registered users, can expect a massive surge in new users from Facebook's 500 million users.

QUOTE TO MULL OVER

The lust for comfort murders the passions of the soul.

-Khalil Gibran, mystic, poet, and artist (1883-1931)

--------------------

Thought for the Day: Solidly on your way You may be tired, or discouraged, or frustrated, or uncomfortable. No matter what, your best option is to move positively forward. Hanging on to past disappointments will only hold you back. Taking comfort in being a victim gives you no real comfort at all. It takes effort to move forward, as well as courage and determination. Fortunately, you are filled with courage and determination, and you are able to make whatever effort you choose. You know what you desire and you know why you desire it. Set your sights on the goal, and know that you're solidly on your way toward its achievement. Regards, SiVa..

 

Thought for the Day: Positive action The way to get beyond frustration is to do something about it. Do something positive and meaningful and valuable. The way to transform problems into opportunities is to do something about those problems. It's great to think and dream and imagine and plan and analyze and consider. Yet it is positive, effective action that will bring those dreams and well-thought-out plans to life. You've been doing a lot of thinking, and now is when you can act on those thoughts. Use this moment to take positive action, and bring great new value into your world Regards, SiVa..
