Publisher's Description
Vista Eyes is a graphical computer program showing two eyes which follow the cursor movements on the screen as if they were watching it. According to the X Window System manual page, it was initially written by Jeremy Huxtable for the NeWS system and presented at the SIGGRAPH conference in 1988. It was then ported to X11 by Keith Packard. Its popularity is due to the fact that it was run by default at the startup of the GUI in many installations.
Many similar programs have been developed for X and other systems, such as Windows and Java. Vista Eyes is the latest of all.

Local Cooling 1.04
Publisher's Description
Here´s something that every computer user worldwide can do from their desktop, right now, to reduce the output of CO2 from their computer and it´s totally free. LocalCooling.com is a brand new project from the labs at Uniblue Systems. The new downloadable application will automatically optimize the power settings on a PC, by using a more efficient and effective power save mode. An easy-to-use interface allows users to change their default power settings, meaning savings on electricity bills for the users, and therefore a reduction in the amount of Greenhouse Gas that results from powering a computer.
The LocalCooling.com website updates the results in real time for power savings, and translates this into meaningful environmental terms, such as how many trees and barrels of oil have been saved since the LocalCooling.com Community started. As word spreads and more people download the application, the website will display the rapid increases in the savings made globally. Members can set up Individual, Team and Company Accounts showing the savings for one, two or a whole office network of PCs. There is a fun aspect to LocalCooling.com, as users can compete with each other in the “Top 100” League Tables of the biggest savers worldwide.
Uniblue´s goal is to introduce 100 million PC users to the LocalCooling.com Community. With that many members, the community could prevent over 30 billion kWh of gas emissions each year – amounting to a saving of around $3 billion on energy costs alone.

Do It Again v1.0
Publisher's Description
Do It Again is a free, simple program that allows you to make your computer automatically perform a task for you, whenever you want. Record a task (or macro) then sit back and watch as your computer automates that task, clicking the mouse and pressing the keyboard by itself.
If there is something that you do on your computer over and over, and you do it exactly the same way every time (such as backing up your pictures, checking web-based email for new messages, etc.), you can tell Do It Again how to perform that task (by doing it once yourself to create the new task). Then you can run that task whenever you want and Do It Again will automatically click the buttons and press the keyboard keys (in exactly the same way as when you created the task), while you sit back and watch the task being performed on the screen.
This is also called macro or automation software, as it allows you to record a macro, then play it back to automate the actions of that macro.
