I was talking to my friend Teo on Friday and I ended up telling him about Password Safe.  I found out about Password Safe from Bruce Schneier's blog, see the entry here - http://www.schneier.com/passsafe.html.  Basically Password Safe is a secure way to keep track of all of your passwords.  It stores the passwords in an encrypted file on your computer and has tons of features making it really easy to use (like double clicking to copy the password to the clipboard).  I love it because before I used the same one or two passwords for all websites, now I have different passwords for everything.  It can randomly generates passwords for you, and you can specify the length and character types to use.

This is really cool, but if you use three different computers on a regular basis like I do (work PC, home PC, work laptop), using a program like this can make your life a pain in the ass.  That's where Folder Share comes in.  Before Folder Share I never would have used this program because limiting yourself to 1 computer to be able to access these accounts would suck. 

I've been using Folder Share for a long time, it automatically synchronizes folders across computers (with encryption) and allows you to share folders with others.  I have it to the point where all my files are synchronized between all my computers.  For Password Safe, I have a folder called 'Personal' that syncs between all my computers and the Password Safe database file is in that folder.  So now no matter which computer I'm at I can open and save passwords. 

Folder Share has also given me piece of mind that if any one of my computers gets totally fried I won't loose any data (imagine the nightmare of loosing your Password Safe database).  All my files for work sync between the two work computers, my music library and photos between my laptop and home PC, and my IE Favorites and Personal folder between all computers.  Combining these two tools to makes managing passwords super easy.

 

I went to Craig Terrill's MySpace page to check out his new CD and found some interesting pictures, I put some inline below. 

I've been riding the Microsoft Connector for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it.  It's free, there's plenty of room, Wi-Fi, and power in every seat.  Even the site used to reserve your seat works well.  I ride three days a week (I have physical therapy the other two) and as far as I'm concerned my commute on those days is 20 minutes, 10 minutes each way to the bus stop.  This is a win for everyone, I'm happier, Microsoft gets more work out of me, and there are less cars on the road for everyone else.

John got tickets to tonight's M's game, in the Diamond Club, and took me. It's been incredible, it's an experience in luxury that happens to include a baseball game.  The only problem was the most annoying person in the whole world is sitting behind us. When she's not taunting our own players, or giving the people around us her play-by-play analysis, she's talking into her cell phone at 90db. She has to be a miserable unhappy person.  I snapped a picture of her by acting like I was showing John something on the back of the phone.

These seats were unreal:

Can't beat this view. Speaking of beat, the Huskies are getting beat 20-7.

Halftime at the Huskies-Buckeyes game. Huskies lead 7-3. What the hell is a Buckeye anyway?

I wrote a post for The Spacecraft, our team Space, on Custom Domains.  Check it out here -http://thespacecraft.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8AA773FE0A12B9E3!38767.entry.  This is one of the projects I've worked on lately.
