CropMonkey 1.2 Release

This release adds the ability to resample/resize when saving image files. I also changed the toolbar control I'm using so CropMonkey now looks a bit more modern.

Download CropMonkey here.

Translated Instructions

I got a keychain-sized radio for beta testing Office 2003 and even if it didn't say "Made in China" on the back, the instruction sheet would give it away. Too bad they didn't use Word's grammar checker -- especially on step 3. :)

Password Safe

Now that every online merchant wants to you create an account on their site, we all need a good way to organize those usernames and passwords. I set out to write my own program to do this about a year ago, but before I got too far I came across Password Safe. Password Safe is a free program that stores all your usernames and passwords in an encrypted database that you unlock with a single master password. I use it all the time and I highly recommend it.

Password Safe was originally written by Bruce Schneier of Counterpane Labs, but is now maintained as an open source project on Sourceforge. Personally, I still use Bruce's last released version (1.7.1) because the newer open source versions look uglier to me and, besides, I have not encountered any bugs in 1.7.1.

Download Password Safe 1.7.1 here (the version I use and recommend)
