Checkout your ISP

ICSI Netalyzr is a service maintained by the Networking Group at the International Computer Science Institute, an affiliate with the University of California, Berkeley. It's a free service that lets you test and find out more information about the Internet connection you're subscribed to. Netalyzr can provide you with the inside scoop about your connection and its capabilities by analyzing various properties of your Internet connection that you should really care about - blocking of important services, HTTP caching behavior and proxy correctness, your DNS server's resilience to abuse, NAT detection, as well as latency & bandwidth measurements — all the data in a detailed report. The simple 3-step process requires that you have Java installed and takes only a few minutes to complete. I tried it out and the report I got indicates a serious vulnerability - DNS cache poisoning - enables an attacker to intercept and modify effectively all communications of anyone using my ISP!

Find out how your ISP is faring at ICSI Netalyzr's page hosted by UC-Berkley at http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu/index.html

DocFetcher

It becomes onerous to search a file if we do not efficiently manage our documents And, our inability to remember the correct name of the file makes it worse. No problem, DocFetcher can help if you have a good idea about the contents of the file/s your are looking for. It can peek and search documents for words to find exactly what you want. Click the file types that you want to be included in the index, then right-click inside the search scope and choose Create Index. Choose the folder you want to index and DocFetcher will create an index for all the documents inside that folder. Whenever you want to search just type the term in the search box and hit Enter DocFetcher will present you the results, almost instantaneously. A click on any of the result opens up a preview of the file, and a double click results in the launch of the file itself. DocFetcher works with Windows and Linux.

DocFetcher 1.0.2, an Open Source desktop search application, can be
downloaded at http://sourceforge.net/projects/docfetcher/files/

ShadowExplorer

Shadow copy, which is automatically turned on in Windows Vista, creates copies on a scheduled basis of files that have changed. This feature which can help recover a file if accidentally deleted is enabled only in Ultimate, Business, and Enterprise editions of Vista, and not in the Home Basic or Home Premium editions. To enable Shadow Copy Service, included by default, in all editions of Windows® Vista ShadowExplorer can help. It can access the shadow storage and make the point-in-time copies accessible to the user,andd let browsing and retrieval of versions of files and folders.

ShadowExplorer v0.7 can be downloaded at
http://www.shadowexplorer.com/uploads/ShadowExplorer-0.7-setup.exe

Please note ShadowExplorer can be a good addition to regular backups, surely not a replacement as a disc failure can cause all data vanish, including the Shadow Copies.

QUOTE TO MULL OVER

It has been my experience that one cannot, in any shape or form, depend on human relations for lasting reward. It is only work that truly satisfies.
