My life has many facets to it. One that is undeniable is that if I lose my e-mail, I lose my mind. The last time I checked, I have well over four thousand separate e-mails that I cannot afford to lose no matter what. Many of these puppies date clear back to over 3 years […]

When presenting information online, you want to convey your point as cleanly and as simply as possible. When images are brought into the equation, well, things can get tricky quickly. And if such images must be modified in any way from their original format, well, that’s another set of potential problems right there! There are […]

IonForge’s Evolution is a version control system with some additional feature. For a single user, Evolution might be overkill; however, for a large-scale project, Evolution offers a variety of options and extended features that could (in theory) make a project leader’s life a bit easier.

One of the biggest complaints that I have with Windows is that even with SP2 out, it is still overly difficult for the non-power user. Granted, some anti-virus products and other utilities do a fair job working with the Windows scheduler, but for the most part it seems to be over the heads of most […]

Let’s face it: Getting people to follow policies that you set forth in order to protect your company is generally a losing battle. As we live in an age where passwords are a frequent pain in one’s workday, you can pretty much count on your coworkers using very weak password protection.
By itself, this is a […]

With half of the planet focusing on its network’s security, there must be times when some of the other aspects of network maintenance are totally left in the dark. Some might surmise that this comes from a lack of invested time spent looking for a reliable solution to simplify this task. To all of the […]

Shh! I stole this from Steve Bass’s newsletter…
If you really want one of those new 2 GB Gmail accounts, an outfit called iSnoop.com is giving them away. LOTS of them. Here’s the site totals as I just saw them: Currently, we have 738,876 invites available to share. Thanks to the generosity of folks like you, […]

It is a rare moment in my life that I am asked to review software that truly amazes - no, blows me away completely. The developers at Moodysoft may have done just that with their graphic editing bundle. I have spent the better part of today getting to know this software designed to make working […]

If you’ve never heard of Ritek DVD-R discs, then chances are you are either new to the DVD media scene or you’re one of those people stuck on only purchasing so called “Name Brand” DVD-Rs. If you are new to the DVD scene, check around the major video forums on the Web; all of them […]

First, the big Internet annoyance was spam. Now it is spyware! Why is
this happening? Simply because there is big money in spyware, benefiting
both legitimate businesses and cybercriminals. Both wage a battle for your
personal information, surfing, and buying habits. There are Internet advertisers
that want to know where you click, and the “Net Mafia” is trying to […]

First impression: Awesome.
I received the review system at my doorstep a week after I ordered it from Dell – a Dimension 3000, the lower end model. System Specifications are as follows:
Intel Celeron-D Processor @ 2.4GHz / 512MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM / 40GB Hard Drive / 17″ Dell CRT Monitor / Dell Speakers / Dell Keyboard […]

SenLab is an amazingly simple tool for creating label sheets with multiple addresses. It uses a simple text file as input and automatically formats the output based on popular label templates (Avery), or your custom specifications.

Ever watch those hacker movies in which security experts are trying to track down a ‘perp’ by using one of those cool world maps that traces the zigzagged, telltale route of an attacker from San Diego to Edinburgh to Cape Town to Rio to New York City to Brussels to Dublin to Copenhagen to Tokyo […]

One of the things software users absolutely hate to do is read boring documentation. Most of the time this information leaves you even more confused than you were in the first place. Humans usually learn better when they’re given visual aids to work with. We’ve all seen screenshots included in demos and documentation, but you […]
