I recently came across some wonderful freeware called doPDF – it allows you to print just about anything to a PDF. It’s free, and it works. Get it here.

doPDF is a free PDF converter for both personal and commercial use. Using doPDF you can create PDF files by selecting the “Print” command from virtually any application. With one click you can convert your Microsoft Excel, Word or PowerPoint documents or your emails and favorite web sites to PDF files.

I’ve been using PSPad for a few years now – but lately I’ve been using it more and more, almost to the point that it has eclipsed Dreamweaver (which has always been my primary HTML and PHP editor). It’s got everything I need from a code editor:

• Built in FTP client
• Coloured syntax highlighting
• File comparison/text difference with colour coded highlighting
• Spell checker with user defined dictionaries
• Matching bracket highlighting

But best of all, it’s free, and it can run from a PortableApps/USB stick. Get it here.

If you want something smaller and lighter than Photoshop to use on your subnotebook (e.g Eee PC), or on your PortableApps USB stick, then you’ve probably already tried GIMP. It’s open source, extremely powerful, and in my opinion, has one of the worst GUIs I’ve ever seen – which is made even worse if you’re working on a 9 inch (or smaller) screen. Which is why I’ve been using PhotoFiltre instead.

I’ve just fixed a few minor bugs in TWP Auctions, and have bumped it up to version 3.0 RC2. This is probably as far as the free version is going to go, so please… if you find anything wrong with it, let me know!

More info here.

It’s taken a while, but TWP Auctions 3.0 is finally ready. Download it, install it, play with it, and tell me what’s wrong (or right) with it.

More info here.

TWP Auctions can now display eBay auctions from non US countries using country codes (au, uk, etc…), so if your site is in Italian (or whatever) you can have geographically targeted auctions in your own language. The new version also includes a blank “onmouseover” function that hides the rover link in the user’s status bar.

This will probably be last release for a while. Get it here.

Here’s an example (in Italian):
