If you were a hardcore internet user any time back in the 90’s, chance are good that at one point or another you had an AOL account. If that’s the case, you may have also saved/archived your old email into an AOL Personal Filing Cabinet, or .PFC file.
Unfortunately, the AOL PFC is a proprietary file format for archiving e-mail and can’t be read by Outlook or most other common mail viewers.
That’s where PFC Viewer comes in. At one point in time, a savvy developer created a java-based PFC viewer that would inspect the contents of an AOL PFC file and let you get access to all of your old e-mail without installing the client. Sadly, his original website and code went missing, but through some determined investigating of my own, I was able to found the source and original release.
You’ll need the Java runtime environment (JRE) installed on your machine to get this Jar file working properly.
Download Link: http://www.imasuper.com/myuploads/2009/12/pfcview.jar
Download the JAR file and double-click to open. Then navigate to File > Open and open your PFC. And there’s your old email.
The original PFC Viewer was released under the MIT software license, which allows me to provide a download link to the application here without cause for license violation.

Yes, there is a difference. Now you can stop using them interchangeably.

First of all, let me say I thoroughly enjoy playing WebRisk over at Iohelix.net. WebRisk is an aptly named online version of the board game, Risky.
Games are played as slowly, or as quickly as you like, notifying you via e-mail when it’s your turn to move.
I’ve really enjoyed playing risk, although it’s really highlighted to me how poor my math skills are. I have a difficult time quickly counting how many troops a person has, and how many troops they’ll be getting on their next turn.
To remedy that, I present RiskAnalysis 1.0.
RiskAnalysis is a javascript based tool that will quickly calculate the number of troops and territories each player has. It will also calculate continents owned, and how many troops a person will get on their next turn, assuming the game continues in it’s direction.
The tool is not an exploit or hack in any way – A pen and paper, or calculator, can easily be used to derive all the same information that RiskAnalysis provides.. but for those of us with math problems, it’s a much faster solution.
Installation:
RiskAnalysis 1.0 is compatible with Chrome and FireFox 2.x+. Internet Explorer is not supported.
- Open the following link in a new window and copy it’s text to your clipboard:
- Using any site, create a bookmark in Chrome or Firefox titled “RiskAnalysis”
- Right-click on that bookmark, select “Edit” and remove the address of the existing bookmark
- Paste the copied RiskAnalysis code into the address field of the bookmark
- With an iohelix.net WebRisk game board open, click on the RiskAnalysis bookmark
- Leave any comments, suggestions or concerns you may have here, and check back periodically for updates

Well, apparently Google hates Barack Obama because right now, searching images.google.com for “Obama” returns nothing:
Interesting. Makes you wonder what bug they were fixing that accidentally broke a search term for Obama. But I’m sure Google doesn’t mess with their search results…
