Name one thing

BTW: Evernote + Screengrab FF Plugin = Total WIN


Nice.

I used to try to organize my evernote into a whole bunch of different "notebooks" like work, personal, research...blah blah. Now everything stays in one notebook cause it doesn't matter anyway as long as you tag it properly. SO nice just to enter a keyword and whatever you're looking for pops up.
 


I'm looking at "https://lastpass.com/features_free.php" and it seems completely identical to keepass.., does lastpass have anything that it does way better than keepass?

The main thing I'd be lost without is backups. Losing several weeks worth of work sucks. This wasn't even for AM(it was a mod for HL2) but I learned my lesson regardless.
 
Dropbox is file sync between multiple computers. Evernote is a way to assemble ideas and snippets in an organizable and search-able fashion.

They both work in the cloud so they're very efficient for guys on the go like myself.

You kick ass.

Is Market Samurai $150 a month or total?
 
all you guys naming 'physical' apps, that's some dangerous stuff.
hdd crash, notebook stolen in real life [under force?] and you lose EVERYTHING
my setup is quite unique. desktop pcs in the office, but personally i only have a notebook. this notebook's hdd is perpetually EMPTY, as everything goes from boot OS -> RDP into actual OS in 3 countries -> all data that needs to be persistent is saved to USB.

yeah, this means i can't exactly play video games. i also need to buy new usb storage every now and then because they do wear out from constant read/writes. but it's fkn amazing knowing your data and drives are so safe, even if someone grabbed my notebook from a restaurant table in real life, 30 minutes later they'd have a notebook with Empty harddrive while all my work is uninterrupted and intact [as it happens on dedicated servers in closeby nations via RDP]

i can't imagine having a computer with physical, hard-coded stuff being persistent on it all the time.

did you read the part about dropbox? Regarding stolen laptops, thats why you encrypt the drive.

also i have some crazy rsync shit i use for all my computers and servers in addition to other tools. My backups even go into truecrypt.

exact same toolbox here :) except, due to rdp layer, the machine i actually type from, will have a hdd that is physically Blank once turned off. :)
i've a lot of experience with encryption, data protection etc. but in the end two things remain;
you can protect all you want, but what matters is who are you protecting against? hackers/individuals? rivals/corporations? the government?
next, the infamous quote;
I know the story about a GOOD computer expert, who protected his pc with firewalls, routers, sniffers, antivirus, remailers, proxies, hara kiri, etc. He was 99.9 % protected against any internet attack. The cops used a $9 crowbar to open his door and took the pc!
is actually very very accurate. most crypto/security experts have very well defined systems, but are LOST the moment their drive is taken, stolen, left behind or confiscated in Realtime.

for this reason my own pc's hdd will always be Empty. people will need to confiscate dedicated servers well outside state borders in order to find actual data.

it works because i don't use pc's for entertainment whatsoever. if i were to play games or watch movies/needed an audio catalog... it wouldn't be possible, i know.

I just downloaded these because of this, but have you seen the evernote web clipper which looks like it does the same thing?

Not exactly. I use the option in screengrab "copy >> selection" which copies the area I outlined to my clipboard, then I paste it into Evernote (like you would do in a Word doc but without all the hassles of hitting "save >> browse >> name").

I saves tons of time and works great when I'm on WF reading one of those golden threads and there's just so much good stuff I want to save only important parts of it.
 
I've been using evernote to take snapshots of receipts. It's a complete and utter win to have no paper. I got the idea from Ferris' new edition of 4HWW
