More links to the right

To the right I've added a link to Mozy, which I use on two computers at home and I just LOVE. The things I like about it are:
  • It's free
  • It backs up whatever files I've marked as needing backed up, while my computer isn't doing anything else--in the background
  • It integrates with Windows Explorer, so if you think you lost a file, you can just pick the file that's missing and say "restore"
Disclosure: By following the link, I actually benefit, but that isn't why I'm recommending Mozy. By following the link to set up your free account, you actually get extra free storage space, and so do I. So it's a win-win. If that bugs you (I'm not sure why it would), just go to http://mozy.com, because I'd rather see everyone in the world using this, because I know how painful it is to lose files!

I've also added a link to what I would like to see become my little repository of solutions that I've either run across on the net, or mashed up myself to solve some particular problem. For example, there are lots of free utilities for creating your own PDF files, but I put a link there for the one that I think is the most powerful, free option. I love free things.
