Over at LifeHack.org today I saw the extension that does what we’ve all wished we could do with our Firefox settings. “FEBE backs up your extensions, themes, and (optionally) your bookmarks, preferences and cookies.”
Of course, along with backing them up, it also makes them all transferrable to another computer!
Freaking awesome!

I didn’t get to the top and raise my hands though, too many people around. 🙂 Anyway, photos from our trip to Philadelphia are up. You can see my Philly gallery here, while I simply added a new batch to the existing New York gallery from our little side trip there. There’s also various “extras”,…
That was my comment when word finally came down this afternoon that our network folks were going to allow us poor helpdeskers to use the offer remote assistance feature of Windows XP. We use Remote Assistance quite frequently, obviously for our remote offices, but with folks who are in our building sometimes it was just…
Angela braved the Friday morning crowds to pick up a new toy for us, well for her more than anything, but we’ll both be enjoying it. At $154 the Kodak EasyShare CX4300 digital camera was a nice addition to the family gadget collection. Anytime you can grab a 3.1 megapixel camera for that price, it’s…
Today’s column by Fred Langa is the second recent reference I’ve seen to BartPE: Bart’s PE Builder helps you build a “BartPE” (Bart Preinstalled Environment) bootable Windows CD-Rom or DVD from the original Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 installation/setup CD, very suitable for PC maintenance tasks. It will give you a complete Win32 environment…
It’s amazing how few companies in the world will actually accept responsibility for anything. That PC still doesn’t work. I was in the office until 9 last night doing a system restore, bringing the PC to exactly the state it shipped in two weeks ago, and then, when the problem still existed, talking to HP…
This seems like a rather insecure way to remotely control your PC. Afterall, anyone can send emails to your gmail account with “keywords”. Unless you can use long, randomly-generated, sets of characters. Even then, if you really have a need to control your PC remotely, learn to use a VNC program. Tags: GmailRemoteCommand Follow these…

I use mozbackup from http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/
to backup firefox and thunderbird. Yesterday I actually had to restore my firefox profile as for some reason all my search engines had disappeared and I was unable to delete things from the history view. A restore back to a previous backup fixed that problem.
The funny thing is that I’ve actually got febe installed but had forgotten it!
