An interesting one today... no practical purpose to it, but it could be fun:

http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/digital-physiognomy/

Digital Physiognomy is an entertaining psychological profiling software application that determines person’s character and traits based on facial features. It uses a technique analogous to police sketches (sometimes called photo robot). Among the characteristics it evaluates are Temper, Intellect, Self-Esteem, Sense of Humor, Level of Optimism, Will Power, even Luck. The application comes with a set of more than 500 faces that belong to famous people.

A very decent looking data recovery application today:

http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/multi-recovery-stage/

MultiStage Recovery is professional data recovery software for Windows. It can recover files from hard disks, floppy disks, flash drives, digital camera cards, and other digital storage devices.

With comprehensive detection, the software finds EVERYTHING that can be restored and it is ableto salvage files even in the most difficult cases when you re-formatted a FAT drive with NTFS or vice versa.The application is extremely easy-to-use, and no special skills are required. It supports ALL Windows file systems including NTFS/NTFS5, FAT12/16/32.

Yes I thought that too so I downloaded it. Sadly the comments are right - a few tests with a hard drive, memory stick, SD card and CF card convinced me that its a waste of disk space.

Basically if your disk is NTFS formatted then it'll recover files which have just been deleted, but if you've defragged the disk (for example) then you're probably out of luck. If your disk is FAT formatted then it does a little better but I have no idea why the first thing it asks is if the disk has been reformatted as it simply can't find any files if it has, regardless of whether its NTFS or FAT.

It looked quite nice though

I don't know if anyone likes these  puzzle games; but today  Game GAOTD is quite good  ....   or am I easily pleased    ...

Quote ...

"Kit and Ellis is an  attractive puzzle game with an excellently developed storyline. Behind the highly decorated match three gameplay, there are two medieval characters with their lives and adventures. Both of them have their own exclusive game mode. Discover the fates of the captain Kit and the waitress Ellis playing this incredible game with absolutely charming graphics, addictive gameplay, various bonuses and bonus levels, medieval music! "

It IS quite good and I've spent a snug hour having a dabble   ...  I keep the  sound off though !

All-in-all, if either of these programs do the job, then I think it/they would be well worth having.

[kitz]

oops missed that one -too late - thanks anyhow OF

[oldfogy]

Kitz, not to worry, the alternative had a "very basic" GUI but also worked well.

Although it worked well, except after disabling/removing the programs from the startup option that I had set to open at specific times, I had to reset the "Start with windows" in their own settings.
Not a big deal, but just a heads-up.
