ZBar. ZBar ZBar is a utility for those who use multiple monitors.
If you have a single screen, then there's nothing to see here. Move on. If you have two or more monitors, then Windows only puts the task bar at the bottom of one of those monitors, and although you can move windows to the second monitor, the task bar button for those windows still lives at the bottom of the primary monitor. This doesn't "feel" right to me, so ZBar was born. Functionality. Birthday Reminder. Birthday Reminder will alert you to birthdays you need to remember, in advance of those dates.
The reminder box looks like this: Clicking the Options button allows you to manage the birthdays, choose how far in advance you want to be reminded for each, which icon you'd like to use for that person, and set other options. You can sort the data by each of the columns below. To start using the translation, download the file above, unzip it, and put the strings.ini in the Birthday Reminder data directory - to find this click Start and then type %appdata%, click OK, and then double-click on the Zhorn Birthday Reminder directory. The next time you run the app, it will use the translation. Interested in creating a new translation?

It works by simulating a keypress once every 59 seconds, so your machine thinks you're still working at the keyboard, so won't lock the screen or activate the screensaver. The icon is shown above - it's the leftmost one in the task tray, and this is all you see. Double-clicking the icon empties the coffee pot (that's what the icon is) and temporarily disables the program. Double-clicking it again refills the pot, and will keep your machine awake. By default the app starts enabled, and works every 59 seconds. Windows 98: Caffeine works by simulating the F15 key down and up events every 59 seconds. Of all the key presses available, F15 is probably the least intrusive (I've never seen a PC keyboard with that key!) Video Caffeine user humancar2n has put together a short YouTube video showing how the app works.
