File Alert Monitor lets you know when files are created, modified, or deleted

by Brad Linder Mar 24th 2008

If you're not the only person who uses your computer, you might want to keep track of which files are created, changed, or deleted in a particular folder. Or if you have a shared network drive loaded with documents you work on collaboratively with other members of your household, small business, or supervillain headquarters, you might want to know when somebody adds $.75 for a bag of Doritos to the budget.

File Alert Monitor lets you designate one or more folders to keep an eye on. When someone creates or modifies or deletes a file in that directory, a notification box will pop up letting you know what actions have been taken and the time at which they occurred. If you're only interested in changes to a specific file type, you can configure File Alert Monitor to only notify you if files meeting your criteria have been changed.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
