Useful stuff

I have found the internet to be a wonderful tool, and an amazing source of information.........and frustration! It's all those passwords! Some forms require a certain number of letters and combination of numbers, some require all lowercase, some a mixture...........and really, using the same password for everything only allows a criminal with half a brain access to all my sensitive information, anyway. I'm one of those people - you know, using my birthday or other easily deduced passwords..........like, "password". I actually had a program tell me recently, my password was too easily figured out. Now I'm being lectured to by my computer! (AND my children, but that's another blog entry...)

Imagine my joy at the discovery of a program to fill out all those forms and remember all those passwords for me! Whooo whoo! Better yet, it's password protected! No access for those criminal types. (Only ONE to remember, yay!) .........and guess what?

IT'S FREE.

Yep. Free. Gratis. There's an available upgrade, of course, but so far I haven't run out of space/use/time on the free version. It's amazing.

Ok, so here you go. Ready?

Oh, and my sister is the member of my family with the "bug" for geneaology, but if you're similarly inclined, I just ran across a really neat site for local information. It's specific to San Diego - and interesting as heck. Old newspapers, marriage records, etc. Pretty cool.

Here's that one.
