Our Favorite Cheat Sheets - a definition from WhatIs.com

Cheat sheets.  Got to love the cheat sheets.  One problem with learning/doing things is the bottlenecks created when you hit the wall on remembering or not knowing (not remembering is, in my opinion, the worst of the two) something critical.  When learning, having access to information to keep your momentum is crucial to mental health.

I’ve made this one of the permanent links in my bookmarks.  Handy to access all of those HTML shortcuts to re-remember specific codes.

KeePassX

The move to Canada has been an operation in information overflow. I started using KeePassX last summer, but it got lost in the shuffle. Now that Ana and I are both using the Mac for home items, I think we can go to keeping KeePassX on the desktop and all of our data inside.

OpenProj | Projity

I absolutely love it when an open-source project jumps on one of Microsoft’s big money makers. A project M$ can’t buy up or run out of business is the best form of competition that exists. And it is available for Mac as well. Don’t have a personal use for it at this time, but will keep it in mind for work efforts down the road.

id-design, inc. | WhatSize

Right now, I’m in the midst of cleaning up my Mac hard drive. I’m starting to wish I had held out for the larger drive, but that wasn’t the case and I have what I have at the moment. But this utility seems pretty handy if it isn’t a resource hog. Being able to quickly identify files based on size and location for cleanup/backup is a necessity.

Keyspan | TuneView (TVU-200C)

Just ordered one of these. Should be at my parents’ house in Virginia right now. Can’t wait to get it set up and running. Will certainly make our music listening in the living room more convenient. Right now, we have to go all the way upstairs to the 3rd floor to make changes. Which pretty much means you have to select a playlist and just sit through the songs you might not be in the mood for in the moment. Hopefully, this will work very well as we’ve had some problems with the network going two floors and around the water and gas pipes in the house.

Mediafour | MacDrive

Since I installed Parallels, I find myself constantly in Windows using a variety of software not available on the Mac (some because I haven’t bought the Mac version yet, some because there is no Mac version) and wishing I could access my Mac files. MacDrive seems like a great piece of software to make the whole flow work better. Don’t know about the $50 price tag. Seems steep for what should be a $20 utility. But I might have to check this out sooner than later.

Well, still no quick solution to the mySQL problems.  The second export/import worked better and simplified the problem.  Probably need to dig deep into the data to fix this, but it will have to wait while some other projects are roasting away towards being done.
