I am used to using phpmyadmin to manage the MySQL database for many years. Just recently, I saw an alternative way to do it. Adminer, a full-featured database management tool written in PHP.
The latest version is v4.7.1 when I write this post.
EaseUS has a free disk partition software. The product name is Partition Master Free. The latest version 10.8 for Windows, from XP (retired system) to Windows 10. It is also has different language version, which support English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Português, Polski and 日本語.
Actually it is made by a Chinese online software company.
I has ten Key features.
I make the features I like to bolder.
Here is the simply steps of installation.
Goto above official web site to download the installation file.
The installation file name is epm.exe, about 28MB.
Then double click to run it.
During the installation, it may ask a few recommendation software, including PC Mechanic, EaseUS Todo Backup Free, etc.
If you don’t like them, you can uncheck the check mark or choose Custom installation. Then it will only install the Partition software.
On the very first screen of installation, it show you the difference of Free edition and Pro edition.
If you are interested in these additional features, you can try Pro edition.
I just wondering why EaseUS Partition Master Free Edition need to add a startup item, EaseUS EOM tray and EaseUS EPM Tray Agent, into the system. I hate these unnecessary startup program. So I disabled it.
Here is the main screen of the program, when I run the program first time.
I tried some operation on my USB disk, which is NTFS file system format.
Such as Resize partition / Delete partition / Wipe partition / Create partition. No issue found.
If you need a free Partition software, I would like to recommend it.
Download BattleField 3 until June 3, 2014.
I downloaded Origin form the official site and get BattleField 3 for free.
The game is available to download until June 3, and once it’s downloaded it’s yours to keep, according to the On the House page of the Origin website.
It is a huge package, took about two hours to complete the downloading.
BattleField 3 was initially released October 25, 2011. I played the demo few years ago. Now I can play it on my PC.
It was $19.99, but now it is free.

Upgrade my Calibre to 0.9.36 from 0.9.33
A site that focuses on selling products usually has a support center that its clients go to whenever they have a problem or a concern about a product they bought. However, since it uses a contact form, it may take days or even a week before it gets answered. This comes as a great turn-off for people who want to get their problems solved ASAP and as a result, they may even have to reconsider buying a product from that site again. This problem can be easily solved by setting Chatwing on the site.
Chatwing is a live chat software intended for sites that are catering large volumes of traffic, but it works just as efficiently in other sites as well. Site owners can easily embed this chatting tool into their sites through simple procedures and the chatroom can hold a lot of people chatting inside it – it can occupy 7000 people at most.
Joining the chatroom is also hassle-free. Chatters can simply use their social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Google and Yahoo) to gain access to the chatroom. They can also use their Chatwing accounts or as sign in as Guests if they want to join anonymously. With the given options, clients won’t have to go through the hassle of registering an account to chat with the management.
Site owners are also able to modify the chatroom to give it a more personalized feeling or to fit with their site’s theme. This makes Chatwing much more noticeable for their clients or simply more appealing for them. But for whatever reasons, this nifty chatting tool simply looks better when it’s fully customized than not.
And to make sure no one is able to make a mess of the chatroom, the user must use Chatwing’s security functions. He can ban people out of the chat app and delete their messages with ease. Applying the word filter would make it even better as it can prevent the use of profanity. With these features, the chatroom is sure to be free of spammers, abusive people and other harassers.

Upgrade my Calibre 64bit to 0.9.33
Here is a program called Folding@home.
It is pretty simple. Just download a program and install it on your computer. It will run in the background. The main job of it is to help scientists studying Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, and many cancers by simply running a piece of software on your computer.
Look at the rotating DNA structure I am working on below:
The following are the description from the official site.
Proteins are biology’s workhorses — its “nanomachines.” Proteins help your body break down food into energy, regulate your moods, and fight disease.
Before proteins can carry out these important functions, they assemble themselves, or “fold.” While protein folding is critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, much of the process remains a mystery.

Every year we file our tax return to CRA. This year, I still recommend Studio Tax for the normal people. Normal people means, the people are not investor, not boss, not an officer. If your main income is from employment, Studio Tax is right for you.
It is the sixth year, I am using Studio Tax. It is a free software for personal use. Max 20 returns.
It is still early. So only pre-certified software can be download here.
When CRA review the software and make it certified, the you can update the software and make the return online.
