Butler 4.0b19

http://www.petermaurer.de/nasi.php?thema=butler&sprache=english

With the rising costs of personal services these days, it may be too expensive to hire an actual butler, but you can still take advantage of this free application offered by Peter Maurer that turns your computer into a type of "butler". This small program allows visitors to manage their bookmarks (without depending on a certain browser), access items from their pasteboard, and launch files quickly. The program also contains numerous other features, and the website also has some documentation files. This version is compatible with all operating systems running Mac OS X 10.2.8. [KMG]



Yappa-ng 2.3.0

http://www.zirkon.at/zirkon/scripts/yappa-ng/yappa-ng_main_eng.html

While the phrase "Yappa-ng" may conjure up images of a far-off island in French Polynesia (or perhaps a new verb), it is actually a new online PHP photo gallery that is compatible with all operating systems. With this application, visitors can view pictures in many different sizes, create password-protected albums, create hit counters for albums and images, and use a "Top 10 images" ranking system for each photo album. One other nice feature is that no database is required, and that different users have created galleries with up to 37,000 images with the program thus far. [KMG]
