How To Manage Passwords In Linux

Let’s face it we all live an Online life we visit many websites in a day, most of which have a login. We need to remember these different passwords and usernames, we know using the same credentials on several website is not save. You wouldn’t want a malicious person to gain access to all of your online account.

There are ways to save a password and username, no I don’t mean write them down on a piece of paper or in a spreadsheet, password managers are keepers of sensitive information. All of them use some sort of encryption to keep data save. We have several option to choose from some are even cross-platform compatible, for those ninjas that also need to work in Windows or Mac sometimes.

Busy, Downtime Again, Server Move

It’s been awhile since my last post.  Next to being busy, there where problems again with my Dreamhost account.  That and the fact that Dreamhost started moving server around the beginning of November, causing more downtime, made me decide to move once again.

After only 6 months with Dreamhost I had all the downtime I can take.  I want people to be able to visit my blogs and Dreamhost stopped me from making that possible.  I canceled the Dreamhost PS and moved everything to a new VPS server hosted far far away from Dreamhost.

Round-up Of Cheap Hosts

In one of my latest articles on Bright Hub I give a round-up of the best to be found cheap hosts out there.

I use a couple of them myself, some I have used in the past.  I’m currently searching for a host to consolidate all of my domains to one provider (I have a few).  I’m also ready to move up from cheap hosting to something more solid.  Maybe even VPS.  I’m not ready yet for dedicated although that would be awesome.

What would be really awesome is to have a collocated server but that is far away in the future right now.

Website Layout Change

As everybody can see the layout changed. It’s been updated to a three column design. If you are looking at the site in IE7 or IE6 then you are missing the content and you have to scroll down half way down the page to read this. As there are only 300 user a month that still use IE7 and IE6 (and who really should be using Firefox) it is not very high on my priority list. It should get fixed before next Friday.

The next couple of days I will be busy writing for Bright Hub I have some hardware that I have to review and some articles that I need write.
