Qumana – Blog Editor

I haven't used any blog editor other than the default editor in blogger and MS Word. I had done a search for a blog editor a while ago, but never came across Qumana, until yesterday. Qumana needs Java Runtime Environment installed before you consider installing Qumana. I wanted a editor which would help me post the blog-post without having to sign up at blogger using a browser and editing it over there, (this happens to me at month ends when I desperately try to save some bandwidth), I also wanted a spell checker for proof reading my post. Qumana satisfies all requirements and as an added benefit, it can even integrate AdGenta adverts into your blog-post.

Features:

• Supports a lot of blog providers including Blogger, Wordpress, TypePad, DairyLand, SquareSpace, Drupal, MSN Space, LiveJournal, etc.
  
• Qumana supports AdGenta adverts, which can be inserted by you into your post while editing the post itself.
  
• Can manage multiple blogs from the same provider or by multiple providers.
  
• Allows editing in multiple modes, i.e. the WYSIWYG mode or the HTML mode.
  
• Inserting images and videos is made very simple.
  
• Can insert tags and track backs, allow or disallow trackbacks or comments.
  
• Has a spell check utility, so that you can correct your mistakes before publishing.
  
• One click publish.
  
• It can also set the time of posting.
  

Bummer:

I agree this is a pretty good blog-editor but I loved a feature in MS Word where simple mistakes like capitalization gets corrected automatically, Qumana with its 'spell check as you type' feature comes very close.

Nmap-online.com – Nmap on the internet

I had installed Nmap yesterday to scan a particular target of interest to me, but unfortunately I was getting certain errors about Nmap being unable to find the network adaptor, and I couldn't find a way to make it work. A quick Google search revealed this wonderful online Nmap port scanner, www.nmap-online.com

The interface is intuitive, the default option when the website loads is to quick scan your own computer, full Nmap scans of your own system and custom scans, which allow you to scan custom targets with your own parameters are also included, it keeps your scan requests on queue and lets you know the number of requests before it on queue. When I used it last night, there weren't any other requests so I got my results pretty fast and even if there are many requests it has the option of e-mailing the results of the scan to your own e-mail id.

Whats more is, this service may keep your scan anonymous from the target, if he has surveillance installed.

Greedy Torrent

This tool considered by many as the savior of leechers on the bit-torrent protocol, helps them from getting banned on trackers which demand a 1:1 transfer ratio. The communication between your bit-torrent client and the tracker is modified, by telling the tracker that you upload is actually high; even if you aren't uploading.

Features:

Greedy torrent only needs to be configured once during install and never again. The configuration also can be done by a newbie, the upload can be set up to 5 times your download, best factor is that you don't need to change your favorite bit-torrent client.
