Mozy - Free Online Backup
If you need a convenientonline backup, checkout Mozy. It lets you fine-tune when and what to backup. It even has some nice presets so you do not have to hunt for your email folders etc. Once you set it, you can forget about it. Beats uploading files to your own web server or gmail account. Best of all - you get your first two gigabytes free. Actually, if you follow this referral link you will get an extra 256 Mb right away (and I will get an extra Gb for every four people that do that :-))

Kensington Notebook Dock
Just got a Kensington Notebook Dock for my new laptop at work. It works very well so far, but it comes in this crazy shiny silver finish which may make your eyes hurt if you have a light over your head.

Unlocking the Mysteries of ‘Svchost.exe’
Svchost.exe can, and usually does, run several instances of itself at any given time, each instance running several associated services. How do you find out what these “services” are?

SMS to any cell phone!
If you want to send a text message to a cell phone, but do not know the wireless provider, just send an email to teleflip.com, and it will relay the message where it should go. For example, if the number of the cell phone is 1002003000, you would send the message to:
1002003000@teleflip.com
P. S. This currently only works for Canada, US, Caribbean, Hawaii, and Guam.
