A Personal Wiki Notepad

ZuluPad is a desktop application that provides you with a local Wiki. It combines the simplicity of Notepad with the functionality of a Wiki. The application is free and is available for both Mac and Windows! The home page of the website says that what the developers were trying to accomplish was to combine the best parts of a wiki with the best parts of a notepad. It’s a little bit like Wikipedia except that it’s your personal desktop wiki. It incorporates an ingenious way of creating hyperlinks automatically to content that you have already written; it’s fascinating, go check it out.

Free Photoshop Actions

If you’re looking to create a virtual digital darkroom, you should definitely take a look at this collection of Photoshop CS2 Actions. All the actions are free and if you like them enough, send the creator a donation via PayPal. I recently used the Digital Velvia action to enhance a few pictures I took at a local park.  The site also offers a tutorial for people who are new to Photoshop as to what exactly Photoshop actions are and how they will help you in enhancing your photography.

Suffice it to say that almost everything you do with your camera can be enhanced by Photoshop by way of actions, and once you get a knowledge foundation established regarding them you’re going to probably be taking a lot more photos!
