Just created another screen video using Camtasia 5. This is the latest version and its really cool. You can put in a picture in picture (I know you don’t want to see my ugly mug!), which might be useful in some situations. However, the filesize increases dramatically with PIP. See what you think…

I was having trouble reading the response from the socket, which promted me to luckily find this damn good port scanning utility that I want to tell you about. Its called JFirewallTest and it’s a nifty little Java program that […]
RoboForm Rules
I was recently turned on to a product called RoboForm by a top internet marketer called Mike Filsaime. I had seen various password management products and thought about getting one, but was dubious.
