Make your computer keyboard childproof

CrazyLittleFingers - This is a great FREE piece of software if you have young children who like to take over your computer as soon as your back is turned. This program lets you protect your work from little fingers by allowing you to 'lock' your keyboard when you leave the computer.

When you leave your PC CrazyLittleFingers protects your work by locking the keyboard, so if anyone presses a key while the program is activated either a sound is made or a picture appears.

When you come back to your work just press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to escape the program.

You can install the program for free by going to http://tinyurl.com/LittleFingers and follow the link to CrazyLittleWebsite. Here you can either download the full program (65M) or a lighter version (300k). The full version is ready to use with all pictures and sounds but if you opt for the lighter version you have to set up each keyboard key to your own pictures and sounds - quite labour intensive!

CrazyLittleFingers is only available for Windows machines.

The Widget Hunter

Would you believe a month ago I had never heard of a widget!!!!!!!!!!
Now, being recently retired and with time on my hands I have become a 'widget hunter', spending hours scouring the net looking for these often cute, sometimes informative, usually fun little gadgets.
This will be a work in progress and this is just the beginning. If you have any cool widgets to share please leave a comment or link.
