How I got a sign to share on my car

The title How I got a sign to share on my car was started with seeing @username on a car’s back window. I knew that was something I had to do, under the “Ideas are not meant to be thought, but lived”  So I first searched locally and was quoted over $100 for a decal, I then went back to Google and found one online for less than 16 dollars including shipping. I had to have a bit of help with my order, and the phone rep was great!  I will happily share that URL, you simply need to ask.

Password Generator in Keepass tip

Password Generator in Keepass tip, there’s a great password vault called Keepass I use that has a great option.  You can setup the characters used in generating passwords, and exclude characters like lower case L and the number 1 for instance.   Here’s a look at the exclude characters list I have used since 2000 or so  gijloqsyz1GIJLOQSYZ0  to make things LOTS easier done when sending passwords to users and to avoid the “Is that a zero or and “O” in that password” and that will save you time.  Keepass doesn’t store information in the cloud, it stores your vault locally on a USB stick of your choice.  http://keepass.info/ is the URL , click Downloads, and the Professional Edition>Portable  

Download this ZIP package and unpack it to your favorite location (USB stick, …). KeePass runs without any additional installation and won’t store any settings outside the application directory.

Supported operating systems:
Windows 98 / 98SE / ME / 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista / 7 / 8, each 32-bit and 64-bit, Mono (Linux, Mac OS X, BSD, …).

Prerequisites:
Microsoft .NET Framework ≥ 2.0 (already included in Windows Vista and higher) or Mono ≥ 2.6.

“This site may be compromised” and what to do when that happens

http://www.facebook.com/guyrcook.webdeveloper the warning message made my phone ring once when a customer at the local computer store had website problems, the store referred their customer to me to sort it out. Their issue was more involved than this post has room for, so in the facebook page I add content into, (the link above) I’ve posted:

Results labeled “This site may be compromised” and if you see that in Google search results, here’s why you should contact your webmaster: http://bit.ly/XdU2eb (might bookmark it for that ‘rainy day’ when you need to know, I hope you never have to use this link.)

Results labeled “This site may be compromised” – Web Search Help

If you’re the administrator of a site we’ve identified with this warning message, please visit the instructions found in Google’s own Webmaster Help Center to investigate and resolve the problem.

Fireworks CS5 ….by Adobe

Today I”m installing the trial of Fireworks CS5 (own CS3 version now) the download size is 498MB, wow remember the day when I’d start a download that huge (in the days of dialup) and then just go to bed and install it the next morning. Times have changed, now the “Adobe Download Assistant” says about 30 minutes, lots faster than when downloads took about 7 minutes for each MB of file size.

The installer started, says the total install is 1GB (that took a few minutes more), the startup of the trial asked again for my Adobe ID (that I entered into the Download Assistant already…oh, well. The program has a link that is http://tv.adobe.com/product/fireworks/?trackingid=FBMQH&pss=fw_11.0_win_en_US_trial_0_FW_20040226 an archive of videos for using Fireworks.

Next, clicked Help>Updates and there were some for the CS5 trial that I’d just installed. Peeked at the list (wait and be surprised like I was) the updates will run for several minutes. 3 different adobe applications had updates, required closing CS5 to continue (yes that’s a clue)

The cost of upgrading is $149.00 from CS3 to CS5, the full price is $299.95 50% savings these days is attractive for sure.
