I am incredibly absent-minded and disorganized and i don't consider them flaws, but rather like shortcomings. I guess I am outstanding in other parts. Well, when it comes to finding a document or an important paper in  my home or my computer I am totally helpless. I keep looking until I find what I need, but this can take some time and, as you know, time is money and sometimes we just can't afford spending it on unimportant things that can be avoided.



That is why I decided to get some free document management software to help me organize things a little bit in my computer and, after that, following the same model i will hopefully change them in my life, too, making it better. Of course there are a lot of very good document management software applications available on the market, but I preferred the free versions, as I only need this for my personal computer and I think I don't have such a huge amount of documents to manage.

Now I will talk about two such free document management software applications that I found on the internet and that you can download for free if you ever consider using it, too. The first one is the Kordil EDMS (Electronic Document Management System)- a very effective tool that can help you manage and organize your documents. It is very helpful for organizations and also individuals who want to co-ordinate and organize the entire documentation in a single database.

You can install this software on your server and all the users can access it using the internet connection or the intranet . You can introduce new data when you are online or even import data from a different data base. It allows latest revision control or apply filters on different categories of documents or even search certain data according to very complex criteria. You can also email a page of a document to somebody or online document distribution. You may set it to give you daily or weekly reports concerning the activity in the database , you may use it to make and inventory and you can do a lot of other things with it. The supported document format is Excel, Word, CSV, XML, and TXT.

The second example is eDoc Organizer 2.0. It is very simple and easy to use and helps you organize your electronic documents. It is recommended for small business users and also for personal use, as it has a very simple interface and not too many features. You can ue it to organize all the written and scanned documents on your computer. It offers a useful and simple filing system and certain features like: organize, view and search your documents fast.

This free document management software not only teaches you how to organize your documents, but can also help you to become a more organized person in all the activities that you do.

Id software is the name of an American company that produces computer and video games and that has its headquarters in Texas. The company's name is spelled with lower case letters and is pronounced id like in did, that is with a short vowel. The guys who founded and named the company said the name comes from the "id" term used by Freud in his works about the three parts of everyone's personality: the id, ego and superego.



It was founded by four people working in the computer industry: two software programmers, a game designer and an artist. Their names are: John Carmack, John Romero, Tom Hall and Adrian Carmack. They founded id software in 1991 in Dallas, Texas. Now the company belongs to ZeniMax Media that bought it in 2009. Id software is famous for the computer games it produced, games that were rapidly spread all over the world, fascinating the young generation.

Most of their games were produced in series and they licenced the core source code of the game also known as the engine from the very beginning - in 1991. Some of the most famous game series produced by them are: Commander Keen, Rescue Rover, Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake,Rage etc. They had supremacy over the computer and video games for a while and they introduced the latest technological discoveries and innovations inthe later series of the games. They started with 2D games and, little by little, improved image, motion and graphics and introduced 3D technology, which was impressive at the time. They were kind of pioneers for the shooting and strategy computer and video games.

Even if now the company is bought , they still have kept their individuality, as it is too important a brand and is still developing the same work as always. They dominated the computer games market for a period of over seventeen years and have brought important contributions and made a lot of "firsts". Id software was the one to invent the "first person shooter" games and the multi-player death match game.

They were the first ones to use light maps and 3D technology, and more recently the unified dynamic pixel-per pixel lighting and a lot others. That is exactly why they were honoured with a lot of awards and prizes that are the equivalent of the Oscars in this field.

Some of the technology introduced by id software was also used in other computer games like Half-Life, Counter Strike, Medal of Honour, Call of Duty and a lot more. And since they have always known how to keep up the pace with the times they also released new versions of their games for the mobile phones, smart phones and palms. Remarkable, right?

I personally haven't heard of this company before, but i surely heard about all these games that influenced my generation. As soon as I could use a computer and the internet I could hear mainly boys talking about these games that fascinated them and made them play like mad for hours on end. But I guess all the ages have their fun.

Stock trading is the activity of buying and selling stocks and bonds and other financial assets on the financial markets. Some people do that for a living - they are the stock traders or stock brokers and some only as a hobby or a part time activity.



However, this field of activity has drawn a lot of people as you can make speculations and get a lot of money from the fluctuation of the market and if you are inspired enough to buy ans sell certain stock at the right time, you can get very rich. Well, unfortunately the opposite is more frequent and many people risk all their money in what they thought it would be a great deal and ended up with nothing. That is why it is dvisable not to take any unnecessary risks and use  stock trading software to help you see the tendencies and the overall fluctuations of the stock.

Here are some of the best rated stock trading software applications: optionsXpress, TradeKing, OptionsHouse, Scottrade, Fidelity, E*Trade Financial, Firstrade, ShareBuilder, Charles Schwab and TD Ameritrade. All these software applications provide a lot of information and support that can help you take the best decisions regarding your investments in the stock market. Most of them are aslo online, providing real time data and information, offering up to minute charts and educational materials, the latest financial and stock market news, very complex tools and a very useful and easy to use platform.

Usually you are required to make an account, so that you can have access to the data you are interested in from any part of the world and using an online service does not tie you to your office computer. You are granted access in exchange for a monthly fee, but in return you are given a lot of valuable information. Just eneter the information you are interested in, the name of the company holding the stock or something similar and you will receive a detailed report, the evolution charts for a certain period of time and an estimation of the predicted evolution in the near future.

You can also ask for professional advice and support either via email or telephone and request the names of the most trustworthy investments for example and so on. You can use the stock trading software to analyze the evolution of different stocks and bonds you may have or may want to buy or sell. But nobody can guarantee you that you will actually get rich if you risk and invest large sums in apparently thriving businesses.

This is a chance you will have to take on your own. This software only presents you the facts, the simple numbers transformed in charts for a better visualization. Make sure you understand all these things before risking your retirement funds or your kid's college funds for a risky and stupid hope of becoming rich overnight. After all, this is just software, offering you the necessary tools and facts - your job is to interpret the facts and make decisions.
