Backup Mover

You want to set up a incremental backup in Acronis to safeguard your data.  You tell Acronis to preform the incremental backups all week long, but you also want to preform a full backup on the first of the week.  Thats where Backup Mover works it’s magic, Backup Mover will move your incremental backups to a time stamped sub-directory allowing Acronis to preform another full backup.

Simply configure Backup Mover with it’s configuration interface, and apply the generated settings to Acronis or whatever backup program you use.

Now your backups will be stored for 2 weeks and full backups will be preformed on Saturdays!

Backup Mover is free software but requires .NET V2 runtime and is available in both 32 and 64 bit flavors.

Vista DHCP Patch

I installed Vista the other day only to find out the DHCP Broadcast was taken out of the default settings for the network interface.  As a result Vista couldn't find my Linksys router, to say the least I was annoyed.  I searched around and found the KB for the issue and wrote a quick little program to alter the registry.  (The reason I made it a program is I will be patching a bunch of machines and wanted an easy way to apply the patch.  And seeing as how the network interface guids are not the same from machine to machine I needed to use a sprinkle of logic).

You will need to run the patch as Administrator to allow access to the registry. After applying then reboot your machine and your network problems will have vanished.

You can always alter it maually or use this little timesaver:

Clipboard Text Scrubber

When creating web pages for clients I am often asked to copy the exact verbage a client sends me in an Word Doc, PDF or yes even the worst, Powerpoint.  Copy and pasting the text from a fiormatted source can often cause issues and productivity slow downs, I often need to spend time stripping the formatting from the text that I copied.  Well enough is enough, I found this program a few months ago and use it all the time to strip the excess formatting from my copy and paste operations.  Just start it up, land forget about it (it runs silently in the background scrubbing your clipboard when ever it has new data on it).  I highly recommend this program.
