Do you use two different browsers at work? Do you also have a computer at home? A laptop? An iphone? If you do and you bookmark sites everyday there is no easier way to keep all your bookmarks synched than installing Xmarks for your browser. There are plugins for firefox and chrome (these are the ones I use, though IE and Safari support exist) and it will make sure to keep your bookmarks synched between all your browsers. You just need to create an account and you’re good to go. It can also save your passwords and your open tabs if you want it to. They even have an iphone and ipad app, however it costs 99 cents. Or you can simply go to http://mobile.xmarks.com/, create a bookmark on your homepage and you’re set.

Ever receive a folder full of PDFs or Images from a client and find no identifiable naming convention at all. Not to mention everything is in varying degrees of capitalization, punctuation and spaces everywhere. Don’t want to sit there and rename each file one by one. Not to worry, this free app to the rescue. Point to your folder of choice, select the files you wish to rename, set your rules or choose a template you’ve created previously and run the app. Boom! All your files renamed nice and neat. The apps a definite life-saver and pain in the ass remover. However, there might be too many options and its a bit complex, however it does what it needs so one can’t complain. I’ll admit usabilty-wise it’s tough to get a handle on it. Just remember in the bottom right corner the icon with the arrows on it is what you click to run your rename process….intuitive no, but hey it’s free.
