So you don’t want to dole out the big bucks for some fancy smancy cd/dvd authoring suite just to burn cd’s and disk images? Or how about you don’t want the bloat from said suite?
No it’s probably that you are just like me and a big cheapskate when it comes to buying software!
Either which [...]
I previously wrote an AskTheAdmin article about a tool I created called SaveMyData. This tool uses several utilities to export your important data (Passwords, Serial numbers etc..) to text files. Saving you the tedious time it takes to do this stuff manually.
Well AtA… I finally made SaveMyData2.0 !! It adds some cool new features:

Adam Pash covered this tiny app on LifeHacker a while back. This Resizeable goodness is ever so cleverly called resizeenable and it lets you resize system windows that you normally could not. You guys always seem to find what I am looking for before I’m looking for it! Thanks LifeHacker…
Some of you may wonder why [...]
“…Perhaps you think your email is legitimate enough that encryption is unwarranted. If you really are a law-abiding citizen with nothing to hide, then why don’t you always send your paper mail on postcards? Why not submit to drug testing on demand?

Have you been a busy little bit-torrenter lately?
Do you have tons of ISO’s laying around? Trying to mount them in Vista like you were used to in XP and not having any luck?
Our reader Tom in Wisconsin is and this sounds like a job for dum dum dum (key theme music)… AskTheAdmin!
Well it turns out [...]

There is something out there even better than TinyUrl. It is called DecentUrl. It is better because it makes the URL much shorter but lets you keep a small part of the original URL so that the clicker has some clue of where they are going. Give it a go.

@KneeCarrot – I am impressed. This is awesome. How long have they been around for or at least how long have ou been using them? Do you have any affiliation?
@CompuWorld – What? Pop up comments? Page reloading thing?
Am I missing something here? Let The Admin know man… Get at me in the comments.

aah…the tinyurl. I remember something funny about this. It actually caused a lot of problems when I used to work for HP tech support. Some guys used this for giving customers(users..old habits don’t die) lengthy URLs. These were stored and repeatedly given. But, the URLs expires after sometime which are sometimes reassigned to some other URLs. Once such case got the user to a porn site.Oops…..It was a funny thing later. But, the poor guy was fired(I was told).
Also, while I am it,do you use Windows PE for deployment? I was thinking maybe, an article about that would be a great read. What say admin?

I work for one of the big computer manufacturing companies in level one tech support. We were just forced to stop using tinyUrl's and any other similar program due to the fact that they recycle the links. Eventually.
So say you have a TinyUrl pointing to a Dell Latitude Main Board drivers page and you decide to save the link and use it again if you ever reformat your computer.
Then 2 years later you open up that dell chat transcript or email and click the link – and you get gay bestiality porn because the link got reused. So might not want to save the tinyUrl and might want to bookmark the destination page.

I don't know if that was you hinting that you work for Dell but I have heard the same thing from HP tech reps. And I have seen it happen to end losers over here at the office. But I find it an invaluable resource during the day when talking to idiots that type dot when I say dot com.
