Free Port Forwarding Software: UPnP PortMapper

Posted: 24 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT

UPnP PortMapper is a free application for port forwarding of router. Yes, port forwarding can be done on the router, but compared to that this application offers a simple to understand interface. You don’t need to login to your router to do that.

Note: Do ensure that UPnP is enabled on your router, otherwise this port mapper will not work.

You can click and select to add, view, and manage port mapping. It is written in java, so you can run in any operating system that supports java (Linux, Windows, Mac OS X etc).

Installation and configuration guide for UPnP PortMapper:

You will require Java SE Runtime Environment. If you don't have it installed, download it from here. Once you have installed it proceed with the following.
Download UPnP PortMapper from link provided at the end. It's a JAR file, so all you need to do to run it is double click it.
Now you will be greeted by a simple interface. Here you can configure port mapping with ease. UPnP PortMapper supports the ability to create multiple presets, so that you can have multiple options stored in different presets and quickly enable ports as per your current requirement.
UPnP accesses your router using UPNPLib. Most probably UPnP should be activated on your router, if not then you have to activate it using the web interface of your router, so that the application can accesses this feature of your router.

Also check out TomatoUSB, and NetSetMan.

How to Do Port Forwarding with UPnP Port Mapper:

Open up the application, click on connect. This will detect your router and connect to it (make sure that you have allowed port forwarding in your router otherwise the application will not work).

Once it is connected to your router, click on the create as shown in the screen shot below.

Fill up the details and click save. now you are done.

Just click “Use” while selecting the required preset. You will see that it was connected or not in the Log Messages Area.

Verdict:

Free Online Relationship Manager: Commun.it

Posted: 24 Aug 2012 03:30 PM PDT

Commun.it is a free online relationship manager service where you can connect your Twitter account and your business website after which Commun.it is gonna search for new social network relationships that you can establish in order to increase the number of clients, website visitors and eventually the amount of business that your enterprise gets.

To reach the Commun.it control panel which you can see on the image above you’re first gonna have to register and select the plan that you want to use. Next to the free plan there are also paid Commun.it plans and the difference between them would be that paid plans allow you to connect more Twitter accounts, as well as the fact that they scan and present you with a lot more potential relationships which are found based on the keywords that you’ve entered alongside your website and Twitter account during registration.

How to increase business and build relationships with Commun.it

Commun.it is basically a Twitter interest search engine which is gonna combine the information that you provide, your Twitter account, website and keywords or “items” as they are called in Commun.it, in order to search Twitter for as many people as possible that have showed the slightest interest in the keywords that you’ve decided to monitor.

Notice in the left sidebar that you have an option for Managing Monitored Items. One of the drawbacks of the free account would be that you can only have two items, which are basically keywords that are gonna be searched while you are looking for new relationships on Twitter. In the middle column you are presented with new possible engagements. We’ve decided to add the “freeware” keyword or should I say item, and as you can see Commun.it searched and found people, companies and associations which mentioned the word “freeware”. It doesn’t matter where, it could have been a Tweet or it could have been in a comment somewhere, but the main thing is that it was found, and this new Twitter relationship could be your next big client.

By clicking on a found profile, it’s gonna open in the far right column where you’ll be able to see where exactly they mentioned the targeted keyword, and you can of course start following them, mention them somewhere, and if they start following you, messaging also becomes an option. In either case, if there’s a website mentioned somewhere in their profile, like it is the case with the profile on the image above, you can contact them there and inquire about work or maybe partnership.

Conclusion

Commun.it is a very useful service which all those who are interested in finding new business connections and relationships should use. Practically everyone these days is using Twitter, and everyone is sharing their interests in tweets or comments. Commun.it will scan those interests and look for any mention of the keywords that you’ve entered and then it’s gonna display you with lists of possible relationships. The free account is more than enough for a test drive, and if you’re not very demanding, you can stay with the free account, it will never expire.

Easy image management with a rating system included
Tools for deleting and moving images depending on their rating

Images can be rated, notice the thumbs down and up at the bottom of the application screen. Based on this rating, they can be either deleted or moved to the favorites folder, so think of this more of a marker of which images to keep and which not.

If you want to upload photos, click on the Share button in the lower right corner, and from there select if you want to upload the entire collection, only one image or if you only want to upload images which you’ve given good ratings. After selecting one of these, you’ll be presented with a window where you’ll need to login to the selected service, select where to upload and click OK, your images should be online shorty after, depending on your connection speed, of course.

Free Full Screen Text Editor: Glassy Writer

Posted: 24 Aug 2012 05:00 AM PDT

Glassy writer is a simple, free text editor that helps you write whatever you want and save it for future. This free, simple text editing software is entirely different from others and provides you a new and innovative board to write. The software is easy to use and one will not face any difficulties in using it. The only drawback of the software is that while you are using it you cannot use any other application in your computer.

Installing Glassy Writer

Installing this free text editor doesn't take much time and you need to follow the usual download process to get the software in your computer. You can visit here and you will be provided with the names of two or three server sites where you get this simple text editing software. You can click on the link and you will be redirected to that site. Once the download is finished you get a zip file and you need to unzip it to start the installation process. You can also try Texter, Caderno and Notepad X reviewed by us.

Interface of this text editor

This simple text editing software has a different interface as compared to other applications where you are given a platform to type. Once you open this software it covers whole screen and you are provided with some options. You can change the background, color and the fonts at the back. You can even change the opacity and keep it according to your choice.

Using this text editor

Once you open this free text editor, your screen is covered by the software and you should read all the instructions clearly before you start using the software. Like the first time you open the software you are provided with the instructions that help you save or open a file.

Some of the basic operations in it are the cut, copy, paste, open and save options., however these are not different from the MS word. To close the software you can go to the top right of the screen and click on the cross icon. To make some of the changes in the looks and the settings of the software you can go to the "pref" option in the lower right corner of the software.

When the pref opens, you can adjust the opacity and increase it to full or reduce it fully. Then you have the option to make changes in the background by selecting different colors and images. The images appear and you can type on that. Then there is the font tab where you can select different fonts and colors for the font. But if you want to change everything to normal then you can click on default and whole look will be similar to the one that was there at the start. All in all this is pretty unique software where you can type and save your work. All its functions are similar to MS word but the looks make it a little different. The basic thing about Glassy Writer is the screen and the background that makes the board look different from word or word pad.
