  1. My Solution to Online Password Management - AuTechHeads Blogs

     Thanks for your comments. I'm not sure if either I wasn't clear above, or you've misread, but my whole point was to not needing to remember every password, just a simple formula. I like KeePass as mentioned, and use it for work purposes - but for person

  2. My Solution to Online Password Management - AuTechHeads Blogs

    First of all, re Intel's rules are okay, except for these:  "The password must not: contain spaces; begin with an exclamation [!] or a question mark [?];" These are pointless, and simply reduce any brute-force search space.  Secondly - please stop trying

    I could rebutt a number of points here, but I'm not keen to get into a deep discussion with this, Peter. What you've highlighted could form part of a BYOD solution, but it simply doesn't cover all the complexities (and there's some incorrect assumptions t

    if you limit a BYOD to access via an ICA client, with print privileges and access the net only from the citrix environment, using perhaps a two factor authentication method as well as the standard U/N Pass system, it effectively means that: 1. data canno

    Thanks mate. I did consciously steer clear of education in this as I didn't feel I was best placed to comment. There is definitely some common ground, probably more than a bit, but in the case of education (and as a parent) I don't entirely know what to m

    Good balanced recount of challenges faced by those withBYOD in their environment. I was looking to draw parallels with the commentaryhere and BYOD in education. A slightly different paradigm, but similarchallenges nonetheless.

    This is actually simpler than some of the old licensing arrangements which could be seriously hard to grok for some of the restrictions.. At least it puts them upfront rather than buried in licensing guides. I'm not so sure about how well the suite-only a

When does Google Adsense makes sense?

I am new to the content creation business, with my articles on Delimiter.com.au and my own blog Oz-e-books.com. So I decided to reactivate my Google Adsense account I created 3 abandoned blogs ago.

I decided to do this mainly to learn how to monitise my content. I felt that if I decided to focus more time and effort in my writing, the lessons learnt here would be useful. The fact I could make money was a secondary consideration, as I considered myself lucky if I was able to pay for my hosting with blogging income.

Let’s look at my August figures. With one day left in the month, I have managed to earn A$9.58. This is not bad, and considering my hosting costs is US$14, a step in the right direction.

Here is my monthly total:
