From our 'over-the-transom' resources for familiesWe get lots of email from makers and publishers of resources for parents. We can't endorse products and software because we don't have the resources to test them properly, but we do occasional roundups in case there's something you've been looking for among these.
- Putting PCs to bed - Here's one way to control late-night instant messaging. "Sleepy" lets parents schedule the times the family PC can be used, or not. With it, (Windows) computers turn themselves off automatically at a set time, powering themselves down "gracefully" (automatically saving changes) "so that unsupervised and unauthorized people won't use your PCs during off hours." There's a 15-minute warning. The controls are password-protected. It's $21.95 for home users and can also control several computers on a network.
- Image filtering - "Photo No-No!" claims to use artificial intelligence to filter images in emails and on Web pages. The press release says the product blocks "hundreds of thousands of known adult Web sites," the only potential problem being that Photo No-No needs to keep up with new ones every day. The product is $29.95 and there's a free trial version.
