Ever received a Word document with lots of hyperlinks? Ever clicked on those hyperlinks and then discovered that half of them were invalid so that caused you to trash your office in frustration? Looks like you need Document Hyperlink Checker (catchy eh?)

This free Microsoft Word add-on will scan all the hyperlinks in a document and then tell you the destination URL and if that URL is valid or not. Extremely useful if you have been preparing a hyperlink-rich report for months and you want to double-check all the links before finally sending it out to people.

At the moment, I am engaged in mortal combat with the deadliest of enemies - the German government. Like any other great monolithic bureaucracy, the German government thrives on paperwork and I am convinced that German civil servants get a sexual thrill out of saying "we'll get that paperwork in the post to you and you send it right back to us!". But now that Skype has faxing capabilities with PamFax, I am speeding the process up by faxing stuff to them instead.

The only downside to PamFax is that you can't have stuff faxed back to you. So I am currently on the hunt for a good online fax service that allows me to receive faxes. Doe anyone have any suggestions?

PamFax has a very simple plain interface where you select a file from your computer to fax and then when you enter the recipient phone number and send it, the cost of the fax is deducted from your Skype credit. Easy to use and perfect for small businesses if you need to fax over a signed contract to someone for example. It integrates nicely into Skype and is very easy to set up.
