Hey folks. I have a new blog over @ tumblr. I will still keep this blog open but posting will probably be extremely light. Most of my posting will be over @ my tumblr blog and in the format of quick short posts. As much as I love blogging I don't have the time anymore to devote to long exciting posts. I do hope y'all will join me over there, comments are enabled.
Although I am Lutheran I do have a decent amount of respect for the Pope...but I still have to give a little chuckle out of this image comparison:
Yeah, I know today is Website Wednesday and last Sunday was Software Sunday but this work is really busy with school. I totally plan on returning next week. :D
Yahoo Mail has this new featured video out showcasing some of the new features they added to Yahoo Mail. They mix Lord of the Rings into it and I found it very funny. Click here to check it out and be quick about it I am not sure how often they put new featured videos up.
No Website Wednesday today folks, way too much school doing on. Just something I have always wonder about though...excessive drinking, whats up with that? Now I have my own share of vices and drinking is not one of them and I have never understood why anyone would want to drink excessively. It makes you look like an ass, you have less (or no) control over your actions, you wake up the next morning with a huge headache, and on top of that you may well not remember what even happened last night. Now, don't get me wrong, I love to go out to the bar and have a few drinks but I never have and I never will drink excessively and I just don't get the people who do.
-The Purpose-
This nifty little program sits in your system try and remembers the last (4-1024, your choice) items you copied allowing you to paste something you copied earlier in the day even after copying a number of other items.
-The Look-
ClipX sits quietly in your system tray.
The ClipX menu displaying copied items.
-The Features-
ClipX is so elegantly simple that I could just paste the purpose into the features section and leave it at that. It keeps a history of your copied items so you can do back and paste something even after copying other items. As simple as ClipX is there are a number of plugins that you can install for it to give it a few more abilities:
The Stickies Plugin - Keeps a list of permanent entries at the bottom of your history.
Auto Update Plugin - Checks for updates to ClipX.
Limits Plugin - Lets you ignore some clipboards based on size in memory.
Save as Image Plugin - Allows you to save a copied image as a PNG or JPG file.
DiskLog Plugin - Records your clipboard life history (not including images) to your hard drive.
And more...
-My Thoughts-
This, I liked. Very often I find that I copied something 5 minutes ago and I need it again but I copied something afterwards making it so I can't get to what I want. I like that it sits in my system tray until I need it, very small and unobtrusive. I added the stickies plugin as well as the auto update plugin. Both of them work as advertised and I have not noticed any bugs in the program overall (I have been testing it since Friday evening. So, useful little program and I would definitely recommend it if you frequently need to copy lots of stuff and have access to things you copy throughout the day.

Introducing a new category today: Website Wednesday. This means that every Wednesday (well, hopefully) I will be doing a post on a website that I found interesting/useful/unique. This may be just a general website (IMAO), a website that offers a service (Zoho), or just something fun (Addicting Games)...Enjoy!

Most people know that having strong passwords is important. You have the password for your computer, the password for your bank website, your email, Facebook, your Blackberry, and so many other things. So, how to tell if a password is secure? Go and follow the link at the bottom of this post, it will take you to the Password Meter website. At the top enter your password in the text box, in the first screenshot below I used the word 'screenshot' and in the second screenshot I used the word '5cr33n5h0t!'. Notice how the site 'grades' you based on the complexity of your password.
Word used: screenshot
Word Used: 5cr33n5h0t!
I found this website very helpful for creating new passwords and I even modified a couple of my own passwords that I had found were too weak. Bottom line, if you are looking for a quick and easy option to create some strong passwords give this site a try.
