I have just pushed CK-Gallery version 1.1.0 to SourceForge. This release includes a notification system that will display a notification bar across the bottom of the gallery whenever an update to the gallery is available. This feature is disabled by default to preserve your galleries aesthetic nature.

[ Changes to 1.1.0 ]
- Added an option to enable update notification (disabled by default)
- Moved most in-line CSS into gallery.css reducing generated code
- Corrections/changes to the Readme for this version

Part 2 of my Free Alternative Lightweight Software for Windows will cover basic security and performance enhancing/maintenance tools.
I have broken this article into four parts to make it easier on both you, the reader, and me. As I publish the other sections of this article, I will add a link to them.
Replaces: Norton Antivirus, McAffee Antivirus
Alternatives: AVG, Avira
Pros: Unobtrusive, Lightweight, Fast
Avast! antivirus is powerful anti virus software, but, unlike its mainstream competitors, Norton and McAffee, you’ll barely be able to tell that it’s there. Avast! is lightweight and unobtrusive, it wont bog down your system and barely bugs you unless it finds a virus or other malicious code. The home edition of Avast! is free for 13 months if you register it, and when it expires, all you have to do is register again to get another 13 months of updates.
Download Avast! Antivirus: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

Sick of your computer running like molasses? Tired of having to perform that annual (semi-annual?) reformat and installation of your operating system? Do you wish your computer just ran faster? Well maybe some free alternative lightweight software will solve your problem! On the other hand, if you enjoy the time you have to make coffee while you load that simple .PDF file, please stop reading now.
I have a fairly complex, yet powerful, Windows box that I run as my primary machine and it runs great. Now this is by no coincidence, it’s taken some hard work to make this thing run like a well oiled machine. I do, however, owe a great deal of thanks to the plethora of free (as in beer), lightweight software I have installed. What software you might ask? Well here’s a list I’ve compiled of some of the best software I’ve run into that will keep your computer from slowing down and your resources free so you can do more important things, like surf for porn.
