We're not always as careful as we should be with out secret data. Some people even have the bad habit of jotting down usernames, passwords, PIN numbers and other sensitive data on a post-it note that they just leave lying around.

If this sounds like you, you'd better take a look at LockCrypt right away. This app can handle all your private data and keep it safe and sound in an encrypted database, either based on a TXT file or a MySQL document (which makes it suitable for both the beginner and the advanced user).

LockCrypt features a bunch of different categories for your information: credit card numbers, login data for websites, email accounts, doctor's prescriptions, etc. What's more, you can easily create your own categories and thus tailor the program to suit your needs. It also lets you export information to several different formats, as well as sync the database with and Windows Mobile and Java-enabled handheld devices.

As you can see, LockCrypt is not just a password manager; in fact its password management feature seems quite basic when compared to other similar tools. But the program makes up for it by offering you an additional Firefox add-on that enables LockCrypt to work better with the browser.

LockCrypt is a safe vault for any kind of confidential data. Plus you can manage your passwords in Firefox, and sync data with your mobile device.

So you want to develop your own portal or community website? XOOPS is an easy to use dynamic web content management system based on PHP. It's mainly aimed at those that want to develop small to large dynamic community websites, intra company portals, corporate portals and weblogs.

For a free application, this is a great piece of software. The lite version of XOOPS can be used as a personal weblog or journal. For this, you just perform a standard installation and use the 'News' module only. For a slightly more advanced site, you can add the Forum, Download and Web Links modules which are excellent for community sites. For an advanced large site, you can even develop your own modules such as eShop and use XOOP's uniform user management system to seamlessly integrate your modules with the whole system. Modules can be installed/uninstalled/activated/deactivated with a click using the XOOPS module administration system.

XOOPS also allows users a huge amount of customisation once they are registered. Registered users can edit their profiles, select site themes, upload custom avatars amongst other things. If you've never had the time or patience to learn how to develop a website, XOOPS is an excellent free solution although it still takes a considerable amount of time to learn how to use it, especially for bigger sites.

Although blogs are now the most common way to be online, there are still people who prefer alternative web publishing methods like a content management system.

Joomla! is one of those systems, in fact one of the most popular ones. On the one hand, it's definitely not as easy to set up as a personal blog on any free blogging platform, but on the other hand, it grants you total control on the way your website is displayed, managed and updated. And in case you need help, Joomla! features a highly detailed help section on its website which can bring light on any problem you may have during installation and configuration.

With Joomla! you can set up a complete website in minutes. You don't need to design or code anything; as long as you install the required apps (PHP, MySQL and Apache) you're ready to go. The whole website is configured and customized through web menus, so that the only thing you need to worry about is creating good content for your site.

If you want to set up a complete website with no coding or designing knowledge, a content management system like Joomla! is the perfect choice for you.

Wikipedia must surely be on of the greatest innovations on the internet since the advent of Google and YouTube in my opinion.

The secret of it's success was to harness the power of user general knowledge via an extremely easy to use and read interface - a wiki. MediaWiki is a small package which contains everything you need to create your own wiki on any subject you choose. MediaWiki is already being used by several other projects of the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation including the MediaWiki developer site.

MediaWiki is basically a free server-based software which is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). If you're intent on creating a big or popular wiki don't worry - it's designed to be run on a large server farm for a website that gets millions of hits per day. MediaWiki uses PHP to process and display data stored in its MySQL database. However, it requires no SQL database knowledge on your part and pages use MediaWiki's wikitext format, so that users without knowledge of XHTML or CSS can edit them easily.

MediaWiki contains everything you need to get up and running with your own no matter how big or small your project.

It allows you to evaluate your advertising effectiveness and also gauge exactly how and when people are finding your site. The program is extremely easy to install and to set up, and it counts all visitors to your site although annoyingly, this seems to include yourself and I couldn't work out how to switch this off so that should have been made a lot clearer. There also seemed to be a lack of options for exporting data to Word or Excel format which doesn't really make saving your data very convenient.

Nevertheless, this is an easy to use and intuitive stats package that will give you a much better idea of your website's performance.

With GeniusConnect, you can export your Outlook contact data to a database and also load data from the database into an Outlook contact folder.

It is also possible to use GeniusConnect on multiple Outlook Contact Folders and multiple databases and users can optionally protect private contact data by using a different Contact Folder or by telling GeniusConnect to ignore Contacts that are marked as private.

In a world of increasing mobility and USB sticks, it seems that nothing is impossible to take with you on the move and WOS takes this approach to the world of web servers.

WOS is an Apache server based on PHP and MySQL that can be taken anywhere on a USB Stick. You need only plug in your USB stick and hey presto, you've got a complete functioning Apache webserver with PHP and MySQL. The program also includes several applications to get up and running on your webserver including TYPO3, Wordpress, OS Commerce, Joomla, Mambo, and Drupal. Note that to get the best out of WOS, you should install and run WOS from the root directory of a drive because the first time it's run, WOS configures the paths for the servers based on the current directory. In subsequent uses after that, it changes the drive only, so it's annoying if you have to change directories later. The installation is fairly straightforward although and once done, you should see a server screen upon which you click "End". Now copy the wosportable directory (“C:\wosportable”) to your USB-stick (“I:\wosportable”). When you execute the “wos.exe” on your USB-stick, the server is started immediately, and your browser should popup although if it fails, just hit the refresh button and you're done.

This is an incredibly powerful little package for such a small webserver and to think it's free and fits on a USB stick will only add to it's appeal for those webmaster on the move.

If you've ever been suspicious that your Oracle or MySQL database is not functioning correctly, then one way of verifying it is to test the load capacity. That's exactly what Transaction Generator does by enabling various verification tests. It basically has three main features - testing the performance, detecting bottlenecks in databases and tuning the application. It also features a few other minor tools too.

It works by using JDBC (Java DataBase Connectivity) to connect to the database so it will have to support JDBC to conduct the test. The program generates a load by sending a series of SQL statements to the database server which is registered as a transaction. You can choose two types of interface to control - an interactive command-line interface and a GUI based interface which is called TGC (TG Controller). I recommend the latter because if you're not familiar with databases, the command line will confuse you completely.

This is certainly useful if you have issues with your database load although be warned that if you don't know basics about Oracle or MySQL databases, you could end up quite lost as it's quite technical and the instructions are sketchy.
