Thumb drive PC repair kit

Posted by admin in Friday, July 18th 2008 under: Tech Tags: deleted files, pc repair

Thumb drives are so inexpensive now that I think it is worth having an extra thumb drive loaded with just diagnose and fix program. This way if your computer or a friends computer is having troubles you can grab your thumb drive and know that you have all the program at your thumb tips.

In addition I would also install this free undelete program, that recovers deleted files.

If you need to poll a group of people there are a lot of pay for use services that can set this up for you. But unless your doing a large research project for school or work your probably not interested in paying for this type of service.

This website makes it so easy to poll people, you might think about using it the next time you want to get together with a few friends and need to find out when everyone is available to pick a date to meet.
Try it out.

My favorite Text Editor

Posted by admin in Friday, July 18th 2008 under: Tech Tags: text editor

I use a text editor when manipulating website files like html or php. The one I really like is notepad++.
Recently I came across another plain text editor which has some great features like being able to sort lists of items.

Password Manager

Posted by admin in Friday, July 18th 2008 under: Tech Tags: password management

There are so many websites that require you to log into, that it is difficult to remember all the username and passwords. Security experts recommend you use different passwords for each site, but most people only use at most three different passwords for all their accounts. I think at the very least any site that has your credit card or financial information should have different passwords. This username and password management program is not only great for remembering, but also saving time typing in those username and passwords for all of those websites.

Garden Hose Reel

Posted by admin in Thursday, July 17th 2008 under: Home

I’m sure you’ve had this frustration: winding up your garden hose. Trying to twist it up so that it nearly folds into a nice circle as opposed to a wild snake pile. There are products to help you conceal your garden hose, but the frustration is still there, it’s just not visible to your neighbor.

There are other products that are wheels that help you wind up the hose. These keep the hose from linking and twisting. The only problem is they are not very attractive and most all.mainstream available products in home stores are made out of cheap plastic.

I found and purchased this hose reel from here. This steel wheel mounts to the side of the house. I also foud this one that I really like.
