This is the easiest screen shot tool I’ve ever used. It’s a freeware Mac OS X widget called Screenshot Plus. Written by Steven Chaitoff, I use it exclusively for all my blogging and documentation needs. I could go on and on about the features, but you’re better off checking out Apple’s widget page or Steven’s personal software project page.
Note: Requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later. I have run it using Leopard (10.5) and Snow Leopard (10.6)
It’s not that I’m doing anything I shouldn’t be doing, but sometimes I just feel more comfortable knowing my employer or the local coffee shop can’t see what web sites I’m going to on my laptop. Also, I really love sending traffic through SSH tunnels.
If you’re a user that has a desktop computer always on at home (Mac or Windows) and you carry a laptop around, this post can help set yourself up with some private web browsing.

Today I was reviewing the active TCP connections on my Mac Book Pro to before testing some software I was working on. I was sitting in the office and wanting to monitor traffic to the server at my house. Checking netstat, I saw a connection I didn’t expect to see and I had a hard time clearly identifying what exactly it was. As I was tracking it down, I figured the process might be of interest to others out there…

Everything from the mono .Net layer, to openLDAP, to iFolder over SSL had it’s own little challenges. Hopefully this step by step will help a few of you out getting this very slick personal backup and file sharing solution installed and running.

Everyone has too many email accounts. I have six, and Facebook, and Twitter, and blah blah blah. If you’re using Google Apps (which you should be), take advantage of the ability to set multiple domain names up on on a single account. It takes about 10 minutes to update your Google Apps account and your domain name settings (GoDaddy, Network Solutions, etc) and will make your email a lot easier to manage.

This is something I come across every now and then. If someone has an SSL cert on their OWA/Outlook Anywhere server that issued by someone like GoDaddy, they may not be able to access their account from an older phone. The notes below are pretty much pulled from GoDaddy’s document on how to setup the phone correclty. There are similar instructions for other certificate authorities as well, if you’re having problems feel free to send me a message @goodbadtech and I’ll see if I can help out.
