reveal hidden window

Every once in a while, on my Windows XP computer, a window opens up completely off the screen.  I can maximize the window, but when the window is maximized, it can't be moved.  These steps work for me to restore access to this "hidden" window.

  1. Right click on the icon in the Taskbar
  2. Select move
  3. Use arrow keys to move the window into view

This is such a simple idea, for keeping small network electronics organized.

1Passwd revisited

Posted by pwestbro 02:06 | Permalink Permalink | Comments Comments (0) | Trackback Trackbacks (0) | Computer

A while ago, I wrote about 1Passwd.  This is a password manager and form filler for Mac OS X.  One of the authors posted some comments about some of my concerns that I wrote about.  He explained the reason for the Safari extension and why a seperate keychain is used.

I reinstalled 1Passwd and gave it another try, and I really like it.  I find the form filling part pretty useful.  In fact, I paid the registration fee.

Unfortunately, there are times that I am not using a mac, and I wanted to make sure that Google Browser Sync would still work.  1Passwd has no problem working with Google Browser Sync.  Even with 1Passwd installed, passwords still get stored in Firefox's password manager. This is what Google Browser Sync uses for syncing.
