DodgeIt - Saturday, November 27, 2004

Great tool for keeping spam away from your inbox. When a website asks you for you email do this: Just type in anything ______ @dodgeit.com. (ex. 1234@dodgeit.com) Then go to Dodgeit’s Website and enter the name you used for you email. Your inbox will instantly load with all you messages. This service is 100% free and has no ads. But always remeber anyone can check you inbox so don’t use it for anything important or personal.

Update: (07/19/05) I have found a new service called Mailinator, which is way better than the service DodgeIt currently provides. There are fewer bugs and is way faster. Click Here to read more about this new service.

Net Stumbler - Sunday, November 21, 2004

Great program to track wireless networks in your area.
There are two versions: Windows or Pocket PC. Both are available @ NetStumbler’s Website.

Update: Latest version is v0.4.0. Program is currenly stable. It runs on any windows computer and you will need a WiFi card to track WiFi signals. It will support tracking 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g networks. Although this will not crack WEP for you it is still great for gathering detailed information about the WiFi singals in your local area. This program is 100% AdWare and SpyWare Free! Also keep in mind, when it is tracking signals you will not be able to use the internet.
