A long-time supporter of Lockergnome has an award-winning software program. Eric Fookes is the creator and driving force behind the NoteTab program. This program has won numerous awards and it is recognized as one of the very best text and HTML editors available.

Usually, the programs suggested here have gone through some extensive scrutiny. The assessment process for Eric’s program goes far beyond the normal review process. There are ‘gnomies’ we know who use this program every day for all their text editing. And they have used NoteTab for years. One long-time NoteTab fan likes using the multiple text document feature. Think of it as a text editor with a tabbed browsing feature. People are truly loyal to this program and they would not be without their NoteTab.

You may wonder why you need a text editor. It is essential for organizing your work and, at the very elementary level, it saves you time (and your sanity). This probably has happened to you: on some email correspondence or blog comment, you spend time composing and putting down your thoughts in exactly the way that you want. You hit “send” or “post” and something (or nothing) happens. The browser tries to work… and then there is an error. All that work is gone – lost! If you use a text editor, all you would do is go back to the text editor and copy your work again. Then you can try to paste it in the email or blog a second time – without having to re-think and re-do the whole process again.

There are really too many features to this program to mention adequately. It really is one of the best text and HTLM editors available.

Eric is allowing our readers a special, time limited discount on his programs:

• NoteTab Pro: ten dollar discount
• NoteTab Standard: five dollar discount

This offer expires on June 30, 2009. NoteTab can be used on all Windows versions, as well as OS X / Linux in conjunction with Wine.

If you are doing text work, this is a “must have” program. It simply makes your work easier and you will wonder how you managed without it. NoteTab is that good.

I would have liked to go to an event, but I had to stay home and charge my iPhone. Thankfully, there’s a new charger on the block, from the people at Griffin – the PowerBlock Reserve. I know you remember them, and the exceptional deals that they’ve given us recently. The response was so great that they’ve extended the offer! If you use coupon code pirillogo you’ll save 25% on your order!

I unboxed the PowerBlock Reserve prior to starting this video, and have already been using it. It’s pretty small, and there are two parts to it. Simply flip down the adapter and plug it into an electrical socket… and it charges the battery for your iPod or iPhone. Presto! You have juice. The idea is that you can take this with you on the go.

My suggestion is to place this next to the door that you use when leaving your house. Then you’ll always remember to grab it and take it with you. This way, your phone won’t be dead in the water if you’re gone all day. We know how important it is to have a working and fully charged battery.

It’s interesting… it doesn’t actually “click” into the iPhone. It has a magnet that snaps it in place, and it works very well. There’s a USB port on the bottom that allows you to attach the iPhone or iPod to it. Actually – you can charge ANY USB device with this!

If you do not yet have an external battery on your iPhone or iPod, what are you waiting for? You’ll save 25% on this excellent little device – and it works perfectly!

I love software! It’s so soft and squishy! Oh wait, maybe it’s not soft and squishy. But software does make our lives easier – helping us accomplish things that would be difficult to otherwise do. Software vendors regularly approach me, wanting me to push their titles to all of you. I turn them down quite often. For one thing, it’s usually never free software. Once I tell them no (due to cost), then they tend to splutter. I then ask them what kind of a coupon or deal they’re going to give all of you. The folks at Mariner have come up with one heck of a deal…

During the month of May, 2009 – you can save 25% on every software title from the great people at Mariner Software!! According to their staff, they have just about anything you can think of. There’s everything for both Mac and Windows users – from screenwriting software, to recipe management!

At Mariner, you’ll find Blogging software – Poetry software – Podcasting software – Recipe Management software – Word Processing software – and so much more. They even have software available for your iPhone!

Make sure that when you order, you use the coupon code: chrismay. This way, you’ll save 25% off of anything they offer – whether you buy one title or all of them!

One of my favorite apps from Mariner is the Poetry software. It’s honestly very cool, and available for both Mac and Windows. Desktop Poet is “fridge poetry” software for the desktop of your computer. Desktop Poet presents you with your choice of hundreds of word tiles on your desktop or “virtual fridge” area.

It’s very simple to use, and a lot of fun. There are tons of options to the software – you don’t only drag around the word tiles. Who knows? You may write the next great poem or Hallmark Card. Or… you may just find the best new way to de-stress yourself!

Make sure you check out what Mariner Software has to offer, and take advantage of this great offer they’re passing along to us. If this goes over well, who knows what they’ll do with us in the future!

Malware and spyware can infect your computer without your knowledge. Even if you are very cautious, a whole load of problems can happen with a simple mis-click or the wrong push of a button. Heck, your system can even become infected without your having to actually do anything. Some malicious sites have what are called “drive-by” malware installers. Their junk will install on your system without you having to do anything at all. Don’t worry, if you surf safe and stay away from unsavory sites, you shouldn’t have to worry about those. How do you surf safe? It’s simple, really:

This is where WinPatrol becomes critical to having a secure computer. Like a trusty watchdog, WinPatrol gives out a warning when there are any changes attempted on your machine. The icon for WinPatrol is (appropriately enough) a little “scotty” dog. This program runs in the background, and takes up little of your computer resources. You will notice WinPatrol when it spots a potential problem. You will be warned.

WinPatrol is on many “must have” lists. A recent example is Steve Erbach. This is a program that has an excellent history – and countless recommendations over the years. WinPatrol has been available for over ten years, thanks to the work of Bill Pytlovany. The improvement functions packed into this program will surprise you. Here is a list from Bill, with the included functions of WinPatrol.

For the Lockergnome / Chris Pirillo readers, we have an exceptional offer. Until February 17, 2009, we have a ten-dollars-off ($10.00) feature from WinPatrol. Use this link with coupon code Gnomes.

Consider this our Valentine’s gift to you (indeed, it would be a great ‘geek’ gift). This is a program that many trusted security people recommend. At this special price, it is more than affordable security software that will keep your computer settings under constant surveillance. Remember, this offer does end on February 17, 2009.

FlashStats 2006 can be used for Web LOG file analysis. I’ve been dinking with Google Analytics (Urchin), Enquisite, Mint, and HitTail. The problem with hosted stat services is that they don’t track everything. Ken Spreitzer emailed me about FlashStats the other day, and I asked him if he had any kind of discount for my readers, and he responded in kind:

We would like to offer Lockergnome subscribers a 10% discount on the product through September 15, 2006. The program costs $199 or $349. They can claim the discount by entering Gnome-10 in the Offer Code field. Or they can click on this link to visit our site and set a cookie which will remember this code for them.

You can download a demo and give it a shot – FlashStats outputs ~60 different types of reports that you’re not likely to get through a hosted stats solution.
