I don’t remember which post induced me to subscribe to your RSS feed. I’ve tried to trace this original post, the “Adam and Eve” post as it were, but the memory trace has been wiped out. It was around the time you took a massive hit from the floods. That struck a chord because I had the same experience once in my boyhood. (I now remember that Google Reader suggested your blog, but I still don’t remember which is the post I read that persuaded me to subscribe.)
I subscribe to very few blogs, so I guess you could call me selective. What I like about this blog is that it is indeed technical, but not too technical. A tech blog, true, but not for techies alone. For me, it hits the sweet spot, and makes my digital life more pleasurable.
All kinds of utilities can be turned up on the Net with a few clicks of the mouse. But it’s nice to know that a particular piece of software has been given the once-over by a knowledgeable person.
The utility I like best among the ones you suggested is the folder protector. I use GnuCash, a wonderful personal finance program that, however, does not include password protection. I now use the program you suggested (MyLockBox) to protect the folders containing my financial data files.
I also think it’s great that in these recession-hit times a *student* is giving away cash to promote his blog. That kind of dedication is inspiring for those of us who’d like to begin our own blogs but get bogged down by extraneous stuff.
I also wish you a *safe* aviation training stint in the Philippines. Don’t fall out of the sky, dude. :smile: :smile:
Now I want to say goodbye, but not before offering you (and your readers) something as a token of appreciation for having put your money where your mouth is. Allow me to recommend something for a change, eh? Take a look at the Internet Anagram Server at http://wordsmith.org/anagram/. Playing with anagrams may appear to be a sheer waste of time, but it has its uses. Take a look at the humorous anagrams folks have turned up:
http://pages.infinit.net/garrick/jokes/anagrams.html
Who knows, you may find a gem yourself? You can also play with the Anagram Server to ignite your creativity. Enter your name, your spouse’s name, your boss’s name, etc., and see what happens.
I fed “Alfreds Tech Blog” to the Internet Anagram Server. The server crunched it up like a hungry lion and spat out 25,602 anagrams. Among them, here are a baker’s dozen that I liked:
1. hellcat beds frog
2. frog-etched balls (etched frog balls)
3. bold hag reflects
4. cold flesh get bra
5. facts led her blog
6. frog belched salt
7. brash doc felt leg
8. detach frog bells
9. grabs clothed elf
10. garb clothed self
11. ball-chested frog (frog chested ball)
12. cads felt her blog
13. retched fog balls
May these examples serve to fire your imagination. Folks, if you ever find yourselves bored or stressed out, remember the Internet Anagram Server is just a click away.
Good luck, and happy surfing!
