NetSetMan allows you to quickly switch between pre-configured network settings. The program is ideal for people on the road, who frequently connect to different networks and need to update or reconfigure their network settings each time. NetSetMan eliminates the need for manual configurations, you can simply create different profiles to store your network configuration, and then switch between them with the click of a button. NetSetMan can apply configuration settings for IP address Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, WiFi, Printer, DNS servers and more. The free version is limited to 6 network profiles, which is more than enough for personal usage
You can change by a click of a button, the internet profile. ( for example at home I have 2 different wi-fi networks on different subnet, this is a pain to manually change the data all the time. This utility is great to quickly switch profile. You can specify dns, subnet, ip etc.. The only problem I encountered with it is that I had to select my profile twice , it would not connect the first time.

It can take a number of video files stored on your computer and turn them into a DVD that will play back on your DVD player, Media Center or Home Cinema Set.

I created a guide that will show you step by step how to encrypt your web traffic using a Linux computer using SSL as a server and a Windows computer using Putty. This might come handy if you need a secure connection when you are using an open access wi-fi signal or if you don’t want anyone eavesdropping on a corporate network ( considering that the corporate network allows proxies and ports forwarding )

This is an application to monitor your bandwidth speed. See how fast your connection is, what’s slowing down your network or how much bandwidth you have used this month. I have played a bit with this program and the only thing I did not like was that the bandwidth used calculates the data traveling on internal network as well. So I would not rely on this to keep track of the bandwidth for your ISP.
SoftPerfect Network Scanner is a free multi-threaded IP, NetBIOS and SNMP scanner with a modern interface and several advanced features. It is intended for both system administrators and general users interested in computer security. The program pings computers, scans for listening TCP ports and displays which types of resources are shared on the network (including system and hidden).
In addition, it allows you to mount shared folders as network drives, browse them using Windows Explorer, filter the results list and more.

It supports remote shutdown and Wake-On-LAN.

Manage, edit, and share your photos faster and more easily than ever before! This free software is the new way to work on your pictures with less hassle and more fun than you’ve ever seen. It’s made for everyone, and will make you feel like a pro.
I would describe this program as a ACDSEE clone, which is a very good photo viewer and editor.
This is a voice recognition software that will allow you to control your computer with the sound of your voice. It will take a bit of time for you to get familiar with the software, but once you know how to use it, it’s pretty cool.
You can open programs, surf the web, with the sound of your voice. My favorite functionality is speech to text. You dictate some text and it writes it in a document. There is a voice tutorial where you teach the computer to recognize your voice.
This video is not the Sepham software but it work exactly like it. The audio in the video is bad, but it will give you a good idea of what you can accomplish with the software.
NetWorx is a simple and free, yet powerful tool that helps you objectively evaluate your bandwidth situation. You can use it to collect bandwidth usage data and measure the speed of your Internet or any other network connection. NetWorx can help you identify possible sources of network problems, ensure that you do not exceed the bandwidth limits specified by your ISP, or track down suspicious network activity characteristic of Trojan horses and hacker attacks.
What I really like about this program is that you can ignore the LAN traffic and monitor your ISP bandwidth allocation.
iTunes is a great music organizer, but it keeps you tied to it as there’s no way to export the playlists created in iTunes to other applications or formats. Well, that was until today, because now iTunes Export enables you to export iTunes playlists to M3U, the standard playlist format, and therefore use them almost on any audio player.
This small tool, which requires no installation, is extremely easy to use. Simply run it and follow the instructions along the three steps of the whole process. It’s so simple and efficient that we really missed the possibility to also export single songs. Plus, it would have been nice to be able to review the content of playlists before exporting them.
WinMerge is an Open Source differencing and merging tool for Windows. WinMerge can compare both folders and files, presenting differences in a visual text format that is easy to understand and handle.
