Drive Space Mapping using SpaceMonger

Next up in the tool section, is Spacemonger, a fantastic Free tool that makes analyzing drive space a breeze. The developer of Spacemonger had the insight to know we are all visual creatures and he created this tool that would visually map a drive so as to proportion the directory size to the physical drive size. The visual representation allows the user to view at-a-glance what files/directories on a drive are consuming the most space. The visual representation is great for today’s large drives and the application is a self-contained .exe, so you can take it anywhere.

The next time you find yourself running out of space on a drive, use Spacemonger to map out where you can make some cutbacks! Here are a few screenshots:

Whisper32 - Securing and Remembering passwords for you.

 To kick off the new Tools category I would like to promote a great tool that I use on a regular basis called Whisper32. Whisper is a password manager and a pretty simple one at that. I know, you’re thinking, who needs simple? I want a password manager that also, emails, saves bookmarks, prints, and brews my coffee.  …what?  Sometimes it’s nice just to have a program that does one thing well. Whisper is great because it does just that. It has a small footprint, so feel free to take it with you on a usb drive. The database file itself is password protected by a master password and you can create multiple master files. I use multiple password files for internet accounts, local domain accounts, and financial accounts, all with different master passwords.

Whisper allows you to keep your passwords/accounts safe, secure, and in one place. An invaluable tool for anyone that is conscious about password security.

Here are some screenshots:
