I'm posting this mainly to avoid boredom, and also to write more notes about interesting sites I found in the past month.
First, Lifehacker did a very good article on Windows maintenance tools. While there's surely been thousands of such lists, this is the first one I've seen that's small, to the point, and good. The tools are: CCleaner, Revo Uninstaller, Auslogics Disk Defrag, JkDefrag and Spybot Search & Destroy.
Second, Supergenpass is an amazing, secure JavaScript bookmarklet (with no server-side storage or transfer) that generates secure passwords based on your master password and the site's domain. An amazing free open-source alternative to password managers (not that I don't like 1Password...)
Finally, HelloTxt is a service that updates your "status" on many services, like Facebook and Twitter, in one step. This is the only one I've seen that actually works and supports over 20 services. Also works with email and mobile web browsers.
OK, that's it for now.
