Convert pdf to word (and other) documents

In my single test, this service was the most accurate, but it still created a mess of randomly capitalized letters.

notify.me

I can't believe I didn't find this sooner. Incredible service. Any RSS/Atom feed can be sent to email or IM, so I can completely centralize everything in GMail.

NOAA's National Weather Service

I have not figured out how to navigate this site yet nor have I compared it with many other online weather services, but it is WAY more powerful than the Weather Channel's weather.com. I'll be using this full-time until something better comes along.

QEMU-Puppy - A Personal Portable Computer

I'm not even sure if I'm going to get back to doing this anytime soon, but this page is well-written enough it's worth the bookmark anyway.

ISO Master

I highly recommend this utility. After messing around with Kiso and Acetone for a while and failing to get either to work consistently, I turned to ISO Master. Works like a charm.

Penzu

Nice online diary. Can't import entries or alter dates of entries, so it's strictly for keeping a journal from the present forward rather than a repository for old stuff.

Mint.com

Excellent online financial management tool, allowing the user to aggregate all accounts (checking, savings, credit card, loans, paypal, etc.) into one interface. Mint can track your expenses, establish budgets, and send you automatic alerts about your accounts. Incredible service for free!

XSane

Working like a charm so far. I can't believe the "Windows/Mac-only" Brother MFC-6490CW is fully working under PCLinuxOS Minime!
