AndreaMosaic

create photo mosaics

AndreaMosaic enables you to create a mosaic poster by using many small image tiles, that are analyzed and arranged to match the overall pattern of the original. You can specify the size of the tiles, the number of times each one can be repeated (if needed), tune color adjustments, and choose from a variety of mosaic patters. You can specify one or more folders as the source for the image tiles and the program will scan them into a database from where they can be easily re-used for other projects. You can even extract frames from a video file and use them as the base of your mosaic. Depending on the effect you want to achieve, you can use more or less image tiles for realistic or abstract results. AndreaMosaic can optionally output an additional HTML web page that displays your artwork and allows the user to zoom into the individual image tiles. The program can output huge mosaic images with 200 megapixel and more.

SpyShelter Personal Free

anti-keylogger software

SpyShelter Personal Free is an anti-keylogger software that can protect you from malicious applications that attempt to steal your personal information. It uses several different detection methods that monitor keyboard hooks, clipboard capture, screen capture and system activities. Each time the program detects a potential threat, it will intercept the action and allow you to block or allow the activity. Since many programs are using capture methods for legitimate purposes (hotkeys, screenshots etc.) you can maintain a black/white list to prevent unnecessary prompts from interfering with your work. Other features include detailed logging, import/export of security rules and more. A Premium edition with additional features and support for 64-bit systems is available for purchase.

The frequency of the break reminders as well as their duration can be completely customized to your personal needs. Workrave also supports networking, allowing you to enforce your pause scheme across multiple computers.
