Damn, missed that one - typical - one that actually looked really worthwhile from the description too

Teach me to stay up too late after working Friday night, then sleep all day Saturday and get up just in time to get myself ready for another gig Saturday night!! Rock n Roll

I've always got a niggle in the back of my mind with software from there - I'm not sure if I want to become too reliant on the apps I get from there, because when I end up reformatting my PC at some point, I won't be able to reinstall that software again.

Or maybe that's just sour grapes because I keep missing the decent apps! Please continue to point any good ones out to us Floydy - I keep forgetting about the site and only look when prompted by a post from you in here!!

That's the point of this thread Chris... I am in the habit of checking GAOTD every day, and hopefully point out the goodies for you all.

Another (similar) one for you geeky types today:

http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/gridinsoft-notepad-33/

Text editor is considered to be the basic instrument for every software developer. Convenient location of panels, menu, and vast tools for working with text, as well as the possibilities of flexible integration with compilers - everything is of great importance. The balance of possibilities, easiness of perception and usability are usually given considerable prominence to.

Do you really need an editor with 100 menu entries and which takes 2 minutes to download? The answer is evident – no! That is why GridinSoft has developed a completely unique editor: you can appreciate its convenience and load performance from the very first minutes of working with it. Template patterns, folding, integration with SVN, the possibilities of flexible functionality extension at the expense of the script language based on popular JavaScript!

The list of features is not exhaustive – it will take much time to enlist, but in the process of working with GridinSoft Notepad you will open up more and more ways of enhancing your productive capacity! What about a built-in syntactic calculator of expressions, spelling check, or a web-analyzer which can check compliance of your code to a variety of standards of the HTML syntax?

We believe that our editor is worth trying out! Being a team of software developers, we use the GridinSoft Notepad on a permanent basis ourselves. That is why we can easily recommend it to you as well!

One for the security fanatics to try out today: http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/a-squared-anti-malware-35/

a-squared Anti-Malware keeps your computer free from Trojans, Spyware, Adware, Worms, Keyloggers, Rootkits, Dialers and other malicious programs. There are many anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-dialer software products but only a few of them can claim to provide effective protection from all types of Malware. The main reason for this is the eternal cat and mouse game played for decades between Malware programmers and the security industry.

Normal security software is limited by the fact that it can only recognize Malware for which the manufacturer has already created a signature - assuming that the manufacture even has a copy of the Malware available for analysis.

Emsi Software has now turned the tables and no longer trails behind the Malware authors. a-squared Anti-Malware does not identify damaging software purely on the basis of signatures, but also looks at how it behaves. This means that you will be protected from the hundreds of new Trojans, Worms, Dialers, Rootkits and Spyware that appear every day.

NB: This download includes full technical support and updates for 1 year.

oooh very nice.  Thanks for pointing that out Dave.
Ive just installed it and had a look and I'm impressed.

Anyone knows anyone in high school or further education - grab it.   
Its very difficult to get hold of software like that which will generate flow charts and system analysis stuff that doesnt cost a few hundred pounds.
I know when I was in college it was an absolute must and I had to resort to an old version of Visio that someone gave me.
This looks so much more user interface friendly and is ideal for anyone doing projects etc.
