Log Viewer 2.1.2

Log Viewer is a custom made freeware tool for viewing text files, specifically log files. The text viewing portion of the GUI is custom made for improved memory usage and file navigating performance on very large files.

The tool provides built-in grep (show and hide filtering on a line per line basis), color highlighting, multiple search strings, file tailing, and viewing multiple files as if they were one file.

Log Viewer is distributed as freeware. If you use this software and enjoy it, then please make a donation to acknowledge my effort on Paypal.

ForgetNot 3.5

I developed ForgetNot using Java because I was unable to find a reminder program with a small footprint for the Windows operating system (i.e. the program runs in the system tray).

This program is designed for annual reminders such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc. The program provides a simple database entry dialog box for all your reminders. When the program detects that it is time for the alarm for the reminder (for example, three days before the reminder), an alarm dialog box appears. The dialog can be "snoozed" for a selectable duration.

RobocopyKIS 1.0.0.0

RobocopyKIS is a graphical interface to Microsoft's robocopy (Robust copy) tool, specifically its mirror mode where KIS means keep-it-simple. The mirror mode is ideal for home computer backups of a set of folders with unique names to an external USB drive. The intended use is to backup your User folders like Documents, Pictures, Videos, etc. to a directory location on a USB drive. The folder names are created on the USB drive and the contents mirrored (i.e., the contents of your User folders are exactly mirror under the target folder)to each unique folder. The contents of the destination are copied or deleted to match the contents on your main computer's User folders. The selection of folders allows one to only backup the data that they care about and not everything under the User's directory like the folder 3D Objects or other hidden folders like AppData that you may or may not want mirrored.

To use, create a backup configuration by selecting the folders that you want to backup (or mirror), select the location on your USB drive (like D:\backup), save the configuration on your computer and press the "Start Mirror" button. Going forward, all you need to do is run RobocopyKIS weekly or monthly and press the "Start Mirror" button to ensure that your files are safely backed up on your external USB drive (or any other location accessible by Windows via file explorer path).
