Tired of keeping a list of passwords up to date, or can’t remember which password goes with which site? Fed up remembering numerous log-in details, identities, and filling in forms with the same details over and over again?

Well, I’ve been testing out this cool new password manager and form-filler called MyVidoop. It’s free, very easy to use, and offers all these advantages:

* Never enter another username and password or answer another challenge question.
* Eliminate hassles and frustration.
* Use just one click to access all websites.
* Simplify and organize your online activities – and your life.
* Keeps track of all of your login details.
* Automatically fills in your information when you enter a site.
* Completes online forms.

MyVidoop uses a new system called OpenID, an easy way to use a single digital identity across the Internet, which is fast catching on as a new Web standard.

After registration, you download a plugin for either Internet Explorer or Firefox. You can then begin visiting your favorite sites. MyVidoop’s password manager does the rest.

Conclusion: I think it’s the best password manager I’ve ever tried!

According to Rhonda Byrne, author of The Secret, we should look for the good in every single thing even if it appears to be negative:

“If we can know that good is all there is, then we will see a negative situation transform into all good. Most people keep the good away from themselves because they label something as bad, and then, of course, that becomes their reality. But there is no bad in the Universe; it is just our inablity to see things clearly from a bigger perspective.”

Here’s an example of how this bit of advice helped me: I’ve had a lot of computer problems just recently, with endless “blue screen of death” crashes. This lead to me experimenting with lots of free system management programs in an attempt to fix the problem.

In the process I’ve come across such little gems as WinPatrol which not only takes up little resources, but will do a whole bunch of things including monitor your PC for unexpected changes, check for spyware, and get your machine up and running a lot faster by delaying non-essential startup programs by up to an hour.

Other useful stuff I found included FixIt Utilities 7, easy-to-use diagnostic and maintenance tools, FCleaner, an all-in-one optimization tool, Quick Startup, which will give you more information and control over processes running in the background, and AlertThingy2, a really useful application for displaying the latest updates from all your social networks.

So, even though I may not of got to the root of my problem yet, the negative situation has led me on a fantastic voyage of discovery, and I now have some great new software installed.

You might be surprised just how much time you spend playing games, dealing with email, or visiting certain websites.

Slife is a new time-management tool that allows you to easily understand how you spend your time on your computer. It will tell you exactly how much time you spend on any one application, website or document. Knowing how much time you “waste” each day could revolutionise your efficiency!

Slife is free to download and also allows you to set weekly or daily targets. For example, you could target yourself to “spend at least 30 mins per day on your emails”, or “don’t spend more than an hour a day playing games” It will then tell you whether you have met your targets over each monthly period.

I am already finding it fascinating to use, and really useful.

Watch this 2 minute screencast for an overview of many of Slife’s features.
