33mail - very cool email masking service

I have a Blur by abine.com account for saving logins. It’s not bad, but what really got me hooked is it’s masked email service. It generates an email address, something like [email protected], that forwards to your real address. If you get spam or emails you don’t want, click a link to disable that address. It works great, problem for me is that you have to let the software or site create the address for you before you can use it. I decided to look around to see if there was a service that did the same thing but that I could make up the address on the spot without needing to generate it. I did, and it is called 33mail.com. There is a free level that gets you 10mb of emails and unlimited addresses. It does put ads in the emails. You can pay $12 a year and get 50mb of emails, unlimited email addresses, no ads, and can use your own domain. So far, I am loving it and plan on keeping the service. I wish all email providers had a service like this. I know I can make “aliases” with Gmail using a “+” after the main address and the make a filter to delete unwanted emails to them but just being able to click a link in an email to disable the address is a lot more convenient in my opinion. So, if you need/want a service like this, I recommend 33mail.com.

Lock Screen Reflection update to 3.0

Lock Screen Reflection has been updated to 3.0! It now has a preview dialog (can be suppressed by using SILENT) and can now be set to run at startup.

Blank CHM help files

I fell upon this issue today and wanted to post how to fix it in case there are others having the same issue.

If you come across a help file (CHM) that when you open it, it is blank there is an easy fix.

Go to where the CHM file is, right click on it and choose Properties. On the General tab in the bottom right, there will be a check box (or a button depending on the version of your Windows OS) that says Unblock. Check (or press) that and then press OK.

You will now be able to open the CHM file and see the contents.
