Control your system via email

Certainly you’ve run into this situation before: you are over here, and your computer is over there. We’re not talking about you and your system being across the room from one another, although that might apply too. We’re thinking something more along the lines of your computer is at home in New York, but you’re at a meeting in California. Now that’s serious “over there.” Now that you and your computer are physically remote from one another, you decide that there’s something you need to do on or to get from that remote system. That’s where the trouble starts.

There are several remote control tools out there. Some of them will cost you a pretty penny. Others are available at a much more modest cost, but there may be configuration headaches involved in getting them up and running, whether it’s with the app itself, or tweaking firewalls between here and there. What if there were a solution that didn’t require any of that?

RemoteByMail is an interesting tool that lets you control your machine remotely via email. You’ve already got email on your system, and there’s no problem with its working in your computing environment. With RemoteByMail, you send an email to your computer, and within minutes, it will respond to your request. You can grab files or folders, or even run applications on your system. Did you forget an important file? No problem—it’s sent to you. Do you need to run a backup on your hard drive? Done.

RemoteByMail is a free Windows application.

Zoho online productivity and collaboration suite

Online productivity applications are a great breakthrough. They’re cheap, easy-to-use, and they’re compatible with many platforms. Google Docs is a widely used platform for word processing and spreadsheets. But there are others out there.

Zoho is a suite of tools that includes productivity and collaboration applications, Along with the word processor and spreadsheet apps you would expect, they’ve also got email, a presentation tool, a wiki, online organizer, and more. Along with these unlimited tools, they’re got more business tools that do carry some limitations: a CRM system that supports 3 users, a project management tool that can help you oversee one project at a time, and others.

You can create documents online, or you can upload files from your local system—browse your hard drive, or even email them as attachments. If you’re without Internet access, you can still work on your docs and sync them up later. And of course, you can share documents to collaborate with friends or co-workers.

Zoho is a free service. It should work with most systems running a modern web browser.

Cover Letter Examples and Resources

Whether you’re submitting your resume for that great job you found, or you’re applying for a grant or scholarship, or you’re sending in your college application, you need something else to go with it: a cover letter. You have to let the folks to whom you are submitting your application or proposal know who you are, what you’re applying for, and list what you are actually submitting. Your resume is no help if you don’t tell your prospective employer what specific job you are applying for; your grant application has to let the institution you are applying to know what you are trying to accomplish.

The Cover Letter Examples site includes dozens of cover letter examples that you can download, edit, and submit along with your application materials. Choose from cover letters appropriate for employment, academic situations, sales proposals, contest entries, and more. Along with Microsoft Word-compatible DOC file cover letter templates, there are also resources including cover letter etiquette (don’t send a cover letter with your resume to a prospective employer on your current employer’s letterhead), lists of “action words” to use in cover letters, and an all-important list of “don’ts”.

These Cover Letters are all available for free download. They require Microsoft Word, a GoogleDocs account, or another compatible word processing application that can read and write DOC files.
