ClipX - The coolest little clip board manager

If you have been following my blog, you will remember that I wrote about a clip board manager called Ditto a few months ago. This is even better.

ClipX is clip board manager, one that is sorely missing in Windows. You copy an item into the clip board using Ctrl+C and the last item you had copied gets replaced by the new one. At any point of time, the clipboard can hold only one item. How frustrating can that be! This is why you need a clip board manager. And believe me, if you aren't using one you are wasting a lot of your time.

When ClipX is running, it captures all that you copy onto your clip board including text and images. In other words, every time you press Ctrl+C, the copied item gets lined up on ClipX. Pressing Ctrl+V will paste the last copied item, just like normal Windows clipboard. But pressing Ctrl+Shift+V will display the list of copied items. You can now choose which one you want to paste. The number of items you want to keep on the clipboard can be adjusted. Even the hotkey combination can be changed. The clipboard is also available by clicking on ClipX in the system tray. Or you can also create "hot zones" on your screen like the top-left corner; moving the mouse pointer to the hot zone will launch ClipX. It's so easy to use, you will fall in love with it. And did I mention it's free?

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run. So, here is how you can do that.

If you have changed the default Facebook profile picture and uploaded your own, it’s fine. But if not, then why not replace that boring picture of the guy with a wisp of hair sticking out of his head with something different and funny?

How to remove watermark from an image or picture

A watermark is any recognizable text, logo or pattern that appears over an image to identify the owner of the image and generally used to prevent unauthorized reuse of the image. Watermarks are usually transparent and can be difficult to remove. The difficulty or ease of removal depends on the content of the image and the position, color, size etc of the watermark.

This is of course a good utility. I am using the Clipmate 7 which is very good. But I experience one problem. Whenever a non-English text, say, an indic language text like Tamil, these applications simply put only ??? marks thereby defeating our very purpose of copying. In windows we have no such problem. My repeated requests to the support section of these softwares are yet to be answered But for this problem, clipmate or clipX are very good.

I wasn't aware of this problem. It's sad the support section is not replying. They should take such feature requests from users seriously.
