Once in a while I’ll post a handful of useful links. Here are some I’ve come across recently that I found interesting or useful, or which have led to discussion on this and other blogs.

My Places on File Dialogs – Save a lot of time during the day by adding frequently accessed folders to the My Places area of the File Open and File Save dialogs (from Daily Dose of Excel).

Polar clock using donut chart – Chandoo shows an alternative clock representation with an Excel donut chart, and led to my Time is on My Side post (from Pointy Haired Dilbert – Chandoo.org).

3 Worthwhile Alternatives to the Pie Chart – One worthwhile and two also-ran alternatives to a pie chart (from FlowingData).

Back Up Your RSS Feed – If you use Google Reader, it’s easy to back up your extensive list of feeds (from Contextures).

NirSoft Freeware Tools and Utilities for Windows – A wide variety of Networking, Browser, and Password Recovery tools. I found this site this morning and have already used a half dozen utilities.
