LClock Review: A Calendar

Using only 600KB of memory, occupying less than 2MB of disk space, and running without the need of installing it in your system, LClock (Longhorn Systray Clock) is a tiny calendar and alarm that looks and works good. The software have been existing since 2004. Though it may seem to be oudated or unsupported or it does not have a perfect official site, the program is one of the simple but good calendar app around. It enables you to customize the clock style, and allows you to view the calendar in an instant click on the clock, similar to Vista's feature. Users are free to customize a lot of settings particularly the styles of the calendar and the clock.

Miranda IM Review

This is my first review post. Today, I am sharing to you my two-year experience in using Miranda IM 0.7. The project started around 2000, and the team is currently working on version 0.8. Some might have already heard or seen this great program, or others might ask how and why this review is worth reading.

Miranda IM is an open source multiprotocol instant messaging application for Windows. It's similar to Linux' (and also for Windows') Pidgin (formerly GAIM), Trillian Messenger, Digsby, or a desktop version for Meebo. Whether you have single or multiple accounts, Miranda IM is something you should consider.
