Digita Organiser

Organiser is a Personal Information Manager (PIM). A PIM is a program that helps you organise your life, just like a real-world Diary. Digita Organiser is different from most in that it looks and works just like a FiloFax®, complete with pages and 'tabbed' sections.

There are five sections to Organiser: Calendar, Diary, Tasks, Address Book and Supplements. Organiser also conforms very closely to Windows 95 Interface Guidelines with extensive context sensitive help on dialogs, icons, menus and objects and the use of pop-up menus throughout the program for common commands.

Support for scheduled audio alerts w/ pop-up. Holidays included as well as a wealth of other nice info such as smilies, and health facts. Does not support auto-dialing.

ACRef - Area Code Lookup

From author's site:

We have created a product called ACRef which allows you to look up area codes from your desktop. You do not need to be connected to the Internet to run this.

Easy to Use & Informative: You just enter an area code and it will tell you the primary cities within that area code, along with the time zone that area code is primarily in, plus the local time. Note that some area codes cross time zones, so the local time may be off by an hour in those cases.

Free Updates*: This product has an option where you can click a button to go to our web site and update the data to the latest version. Lately, the number of new area codes has slowed down dramatically, so new versions may only be released about once or twice a year.

FoodDiary

The FoodDiary is a program for tracking daily food consumption and for measuring how closely that consumption matches your nutrition goals.

Each day, you simply add the foods that you ate to that day's food list. The program will sum up all the nutrients in the foods that you ate and will display an overall score for the day, and for each nutrient based on your criteria.

When scoring a food, recipe or a whole day, the program uses a set of criteria for how much of each nutrient should be consumed. There are pre-built criteria including the USDA food pyramid recommendations and the "New food pyramid" detailed in the book "Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy" by Walter Willett. You can start with these and customize them, or create a whole new set.
