ZuluPad is a notepad on crack. It’s a place to jot down class notes, appointments, to-do lists, favorite websites, pretty much anything you can think of. The great thing about ZuluPad is that it combines the best parts of a notepad with the best parts of a wiki, a concept made popular by Wikipedia. The basic idea has been called a personal wiki or a desktop wiki.

In addition, you can create a ZulySync Online account, so you’ll have access to your data on every computer with an internet connection.

Universal Extractor is a program do to exactly what it says: extract files from any type of archive, whether it’s a simple zip file, an installation program, or even a Windows Installer (.msi) package.

As written on the website, it will extract files from virtually any type of archive, regardless of source or compression method used.

For the testing I did, this is correct. It extracted any installation package I threw at it including one with upx compression. I always used (or tried to use) WinRAR for this, but that only works for some packages. When installing you can choose for explorer context menu integration for easy extracting.
