Freeware? - Chameleon

Image from Lifehacker

Yes, Freeware. It's awesome. However you put it, Freeware is oftentimes more useful than any proprietary program out there.

Every week (hopefully on Tuesday) I will put a freeware program on this blog and tell you about it. This week: Chameleon.

Chameleon is a program for those who are not doing work but don't want people to find out...it is able to make windows transparent and less noticeable. Very useful for office workers who are not supposed to be messing around.

This program is Windows only.

The Baron's Classics the First

Tally Ho, old chaps. I present a simple proposition. On the third of every week, henceforth referred to as Tuesday, I shall scour the Interwebs for an electronic automation that can only be described as a classic. This is the inaugural Classic. I display before you, from the forges of Twilight Utilities

Windows Hider.

A simple, basic tool for the everyman. Just a minute dab of Ctrl-Shift-H, or any other permutation of modifiers and input keys, shall disembody your window, banishing it from the mortal realm into smoke. With a quick wave of the hand, and a jiffilous Ctrl-Shift-M, you may summon your concealed viewing panes at your leisure.

I personally find this contraption to be of great practicality. It couples well with other discreet utilities, of which begin at their leisure but are useful sporadically. Certain specimens of image modifiers, such as the GIMP or the (in)famous photoshop, which enjoy materializing at a steady progress, can simply be run outside the material plane, under the assumption that you have CPU to spare.

If you, perchance, happen to find yourself delaying diligent labor at home or at work, use Windows Hider to thwart your enemies and employers.

This goes very well with other classics, but I confess. I require the material. It shall be revealed in future classics. Have a wonderful night.
