Blinq 1.0 (WeB linq) is Microsoft's prototype of an extension to LINQ to SQL (formerly DLinq) that auto-generates a complete data-entry and editing ASP.NET 2.0 Web site by executing a simple command-line statement.

TimeSnapper

Did you ever had problems to remember what you did during the last week? What kind of work you did on your computer? - This kind of stuff you needs to be journalized, especially if you have to write your billing reports ....

By accident, I found TimeSnapper - a free Automatic Screenshot Journal. This Tool does help me a lot.

Try it - it's for free for personal use. - But don't mis-use it as spyware! ;-)

Grmpf!! Registering is annoying and boring.

But there is a handy solution to get the free content without additional work:
