Utilities - KeePass/Tiddly
Just wanted to mention that I've found two other utilities that I like enough to use.
The first on is KeePass. It allows you save your usernames and passwords in an encrypted database. The program is small and can be run off of a usb key. You can save what the window title is that needs a particular password and if you have it running it will automatically enter in the username and password with any combination of tabs, spaces, enters and static text; just by hitting CTRL+ALT+A. If the title of the window isn't specific enough, you need to maximize the program from the systray and select the account and click CTRL+V which will type the login and password.
The second utility is called tiddly. It's a wiki that doesn't require a server. You just need you allow ActiveX in FireFox or IE and it will resave itself. That's right all of the code is in one html file and each wiki "page" (tiddler) is just a div in that file. It doesn't save versions of each page, but it keeps track of the date each tiddler is added. Each tiddler consists of a title, the body and a del.icio.us style tagging field. You can then open all of the tiddlers that contain a particular tag. This would be a good idea for mainstream wikis! Plus you can edit a tiddler with a quick double click on the text. Saving is just as easy with CTRL+ENTER.
