Right now, their catalog isn’t very big, but I’m hoping that they will continue to grow. Nothing I’ve found in there really interests me, but I see it as a lazy man’s library, and I’m all about laziness!

I figured that there ought to be some sort of good software to manage passwords, so I could use a number of different ones and store them somewhere safe, as opposed to a post it or some text file on my computer. I found some pretty sweet software, and have been using it for about a month now. I’ve been slowly dumping my old passwords and generating new highly secure passwords that KeePass comes up with for me.

I haven’t really dove into all its features, but the ones I use are great so far. To get into the program you can use more than one protection method. So you can make a key file and a password to get into your password database if you wish. It has a time limit on how long your copied password stays on your clipboard so it’s much less likely to be stolen from there. It can generate very secure passwords for you based on what characters are allowable with the site or software for which you’re creating the password. I’ve got it on my Windows computer, but they have versions for Mac OS X, Linux, and some Palm stuff I know nothing about. Try it out, it’s good stuff.

Google Docs

Awesome, I had no idea this existed. Google Docs acts as a place to work on text documents and spreadsheets. I just found this a few minutes ago, so I don’t know too much about it, but it looks pretty sweet. You can export files to be compatible with Microsoft and Open Office, or as PDFs, RTFs, HTML, or plain text.

Obvious benefits are many. One comes to mind. A friend of mine teaches at a school. He gets bugged when students submit assignments in Open Office format because he doesn’t have that installed on his computer. With Google Docs, he could upload the file, then save it as whatever type of format he prefers. For anybody who deals with a lot of paperwork and a lot of people with different preferences, I can see this as a great tool to speed things up. It’s also a great way to centralize your work so you can access it from where ever you may be in the INTERNET.

I plan on trying this out. In my new venture into the mortgage industry, I think this will be a great tool to use to create PDFs and share spreadsheets with not so tech-savvy people. I can just send them a link and I won’t get any “My computer won’t open it” type of complaints. Good stuff.
