This category contains tools that I am either using now or have used in the past. Sometimes it may contain a tool that I have never used, but list anyway because others can benefit from it.

Subscription Rocket: Get This Tool NOW

I just made a post on another blog that I own and maintain about a great, no-cost tool called Subscription Rocket. It was a great tool that was around several years ago but sadly went away. The owner is reviving it and promises to make it an even better tool in many ways.
While it hasn’t [...]

The Vista Nag Screen Solution

Two posts ago I talked about all of the nag screens and balloon tips that bothered me when I started Windows Vista. I’m happy to say that I was able to get rid of a lot of them.
While I still have a ways to go to get rid of some other stuff I don’t like, [...]

Giving Acrobat Reader The Boot

Once upon a time (no, this isn’t a fairy tale) there was a company that had a great concept: create a document format that could be read on almost any computing platform. You create the document once and platform dependent software would open the documents on computers, whether it be running Windows, Unix, Mac…
And it [...]

A Scavenger Hunt For Protected Posts

Several password protected posts will appear on this blog over the next few weeks. But instead of emailing the password to subscribers of my blog announcement list, I’m going to give it out a bit differently.
I want you to sign up for somebody else’s mailing list, and by doing so, you’ll get the password for [...]

How Do I Do It?

Right now I have twelve “active” blogs that I like to post to at least once a week.
Of those, I’m embarking on a project to make at least one post per day to at least six of those blogs.
How in the world do I do it?
First, as I mentioned a few posts ago, I’m starting [...]

Price Increase For Computer Security Interview

The price for the computer and website security interview that Willie Crawford and I did has gone up in price to $27.00.
Along with the price increase comes the launch of the affiliate program. It will be ready in a couple of days.
It will eventually be a “customers only” program; however, there are several people who [...]

How To Get A GrandCentral Account

I’ve received more than a few comments asking how to get a GrandCentral account (the post is a few entries down). I didn’t approve the comments (I didn’t spam them, either), but I did read them.
I’m happy to announce that there is a way, at least for now, to get a GrandCentral account.
While working on [...]

Experimenting With Voice Recognition Software

This post is a bit of an experiment. I’m looking for ways to improve the speed with which I can create content and decided to try the voice recognition features of Microsoft Office 2003 today.
The first portion is what the computer transcribed for me as I talked. The second portion is what I wanted to [...]

More On Turbo Membership

I just received an email from John Delavera about… well, never mind about that! What I wanted to share with you is a quote from John that was in that email.
Here, from his keyboard to your monitor, is John Delavera’s own description of Turbo Membership (and remember: he’s the owner of it, so who knows [...]

Avoiding The Forum Minefields

I have mixed emotions about forums. I love helping people and forums are a great way to do so; however, the level of bad advice given on most forums is atrocious. As a result, I strictly limit my participation in most forums. Keep reading, though, if you want to know my “exceptions” — and to [...]
