2 Very Cool Tools!

Posted by saba on April 6th, 2007 — Posted in Random moments

Being an International buyer at the Baha’i World Centre I have recently found 2 free tools that have become indispensable to me:

1) A great time time date converter
This small (556 kb) program is easy to use, at a glance, you can quickly see ‘day’ vs ‘night’ and locate cities. This year has see a number of changes internationally to times zones so it is great that author, an Ozzy, James Mc Parlane is actively updating/supporting this tool. To my delight he added Samoa for me! YAY!

2) An up-to-the-minute currency conversion tool
Although it is considered abandoned ware, as it was last updated in Feb 17th 2006, it still works and is a very useful tool! It uses Yahoo! Finance for the exchange rates. I changed the top currency’s to reflect the ones I use often. NIS & USD
