bCheck's apps

bCheck is a pretty cool site with a small set of tiny applications, some of which are quite useful. Two of them which I found very useful:

Purrint

Purrint gives the additional functionality which we always have felt to be lacking in the 'Print Screen' button. With this application, one can choose to save to a file, 'print' the screen or just copy to clipboard.

Capster

This application provides the option to run an application at Windows startup with the help of Caps Lock key. One immediate use I can see for this functionality is to start my Thunderbird and FeedDemon at start up using Caps Lock when I am connected to the internet, and not start them when I am working offline.

Google Talk Chatback Badge

Here is yet another cool application from Google. As always, Google is very good at making innovations at micro level but which has a significant impact on its users. Google Talk Chatback Badge is one such. Pretty useful for guest users to chat with blog authors without using their Gtalk id. You can find my badge in the right column just below the logo.

To create one for yourself, click here.

It would be good if Google can go ahead and include the chat history from these chats and make it available in Gmail (as they are doing now for normal Gtalk chats).
