Transcibe your documents and mutitask with AquaSnap

In two of my blog posts of 2010 I have featured AeroSnap and FreeSnap, at these links : http://rhodesfamily.org/Blog////index.php/2010/04/23/great-little-piece-of-software-aerosnap plus http://rhodesfamily.org/Blog////index.php/2010/07/04/freesnap
I have discovered a new piece of software that takes the best of both programs and added additional features–it is called AquaSnap. On AeroSnap you can view only two windows vertically, by dragging and dropping the program window to one side of the screen. When using FreeSnap you can view up to four windows both vertically and horizontally, but you will need to use the keyboard to do so.
AquaSnap is the best of both worlds, like FreeSnap, you can view up to four windows both vertically and horizontally, and in any combination. Similar to AeroSnap, with AquaSnap you are dragging and dropping a program window to different parts of the screen, without touching the keyboard.

  
  
In my book this is a must have program for any genealogist, and mutitasker.

The following is a link to HowtoGeek.com where they have a great review and how-to overview of AquaSnap here.
Here is the program page link.

Personal Historian Software

You sit down at your computer and open your word processor. A large, blank page glares at you– daring you to blacken it with your keystrokes. Assessing the challenge, you enthusiastically begin typing. A single word, "Birth", appears on the screen. "So far, so good," you think to yourself. With a little less certainty, your fingers manage to type in a date, a place, and a few names.? "Now what?" you ask yourself.

Suddenly the enormity of the task hits you like that foul ball in the 3rd grade.? You fumble through a few more paragraphs before deciding that you would do better retreating, regrouping, and charging the enemy at a later time.? Promising yourself that you will return someday, your hand defeatedly clicks on the "Save" button and the once-blank page, although scarred with a few sentences, triumphantly disappears.

Sound familiar?? If so, you’re not alone.? Many people want to write a personal history about themselves or a family member but they just become lost or overwhelmed by the size and complexity of the project.? That’s where Personal Historian Software comes in.

Personal Historian Software takes the seemingly monumental task of writing a personal history about yourself or another individual and breaks it into small, manageable pieces and then reconstructs it into a complete, publishable document.

Personal Historian Software comes with an extensive library of LifeCapsules- timelines, historical events, cultural fads, and memory triggers covering a wide-variety of subjects.? LifeCapsules add color and context to your history, giving you insights into what was happening in the world at any point in your history.

Personal Historian Software builds upon the work that you’ve already done.? You can easily import word processor documents, photographs, and other data.

Personal Historian can even brings in events, dates, and notes from your genealogy software so that all the important events in your life and the life of your family are automatically there, ready for you to write.
