I’ve been using RoboForm and RoboForm2Go for nearly 2 years now to manage all of my online passwords. In a nutshell, it protects my vast array of online passwords (as of this writing, I have just shy of 90) in an encrypted manor with one master password.

I recently came across an issue where I need to create a hyperlink in Microsoft Word 2003 that was roughly 300 characters long.

I was excited to find out recently that Notepad++ has a plug-in that will allow you to edit files on an FTP server. The plug-in, which has come with Notepad++ since v4.7, is FTP_Synchronize.

No matter how often we (the technicians and engineers) shake our heads at our end users or customers who haven’t backed up their most critical data before the hard disk crash, stolen device, or mistaken deletion, I would venture to guess that we’re just as lazy as they are. And what’s worse, is that we should know better; we know how easy it is for hardware to fail without warning, or the new virus to wipe the system without prejudice. Hey, I’m no better – up until not too long ago, my personal laptop backup strategy was emailing critical files to myself and letting them sit in my online inbox. (Hey, it’s free, right?)
