LastPass – Best Password Manager for iPhone, Mac and Windows
Posted on November 14, 2011 - Filed Under Software Reviews | 1 Comment
So I’ve been using KeePass for the last year or two on my Windows PC and have always liked the program overall. For free, it’s a nice little utility that will keep your passwords safe and secure. Unfortunately, that’s about all it can do. If you’re someone who travels a lot or doesn’t always have their PC with them or would rather use another device altogether like an iPhone, iPad, Andriod phone, BlackBerry, etc to get things done, then KeePass falls far short as a password manager.
CrashPlan is a Top Notch Free Backup Solution for Windows
Posted on June 20, 2011 - Filed Under Software Reviews | Leave a Comment
The built-in Windows 7 backup features are nice, but Home Premium does not support network backups and multiple methods for backup. CrashPlan is a free software that allows you to backup to an external hard drive, to another computer, to a friends computer, or to the cloud, quickly and easily. While Windows backup software is a bit more complex, CrashPlan is very minimal and easy to use, but also reliable.
Start by heading over to the CrashPlan website. Once you have arrived, click the Get It Now, Free! button to download the free version of CrashPlan. Select Windows (or Windows 64-bit) from the drop-down.
Keep Private Files Hidden With MyWinLocker
Posted on April 7, 2011 - Filed Under Software Reviews | Leave a Comment
If you have any files on your computer you’d rather not make public, give MyWinLocker a try. This software creates a separate partition on your hard drive, which can only be seen when you log in to the software itself.
For instance, if MyWinLocker is not running, the partition will not be visible in My Computer’s listing of available drives. The only way to access the partition is with a password. From banking information to private videos, anything you want to keep private from other users and even hackers, can be kept safe by storing in it your own private locker.

Each step can be followed by clicking each the Category along the left side. For Local Info, enter the name of your website and select your Local root folder.

How to Manage a Website Using Dreamweaver (Basic)
Posted on October 12, 2010 - Filed Under Software Reviews | 1 Comment
Dreamweaver is Adobe’s foremost web development software app. Although the interface can look intimidating to non-tech users, it’s pretty easy to use once you get to know some of its functions and tools.
With Dreamweaver, you can create and edit several types of websites — from simple ones (such as pure HTML) to more complex pages (such as ActionScripts, CSS, JavaScript, ASP, ColdFusion, JSP, and PHP).
If you have a website, you can use the power of Dreamweaver to manage it more effectively. For this tutorial, I will discuss the program’s Basic site management settings. I will talk about the Advanced settings tomorrow.
Integrate Google Docs and Microsoft Outlook with Harmony
Posted on May 17, 2010 - Filed Under Software Reviews | 2 Comments
Cloud computing is here to stay; whether we like it or not. That’s why Google launched the Google Docs — to take advantage of the power and versatility of cloud computing. However, it would be nicer if we can take the strength of cloud computing and integrate it to our Outlook.
Harmony for Google Docs is a third-party Outlook plug-in that takes this kind of job well. Email senders will no longer have to attach files to their email. Instead, users can just share their Google Docs files through Outlook. Email attachments will be just a thing of the past. This process could also save both the sender and the receiver some hard-disk space.
