Lifehacker has a post recommending a new open source Wiki for organizing your life. It’s just an HTML document - no php or other scripting is involved. It’s described as ideal for people who like to use applications on portable UPS keys. Follow the link to the original post to get a very detailed description of what this application can do.

Note: it’s designed for a computer desktop, not to be hosted on a server.

Firefox 2, the official build (no longer beta) should be available very soon, although they’ve been saying that for a long time now. In the meantime, check out these reviews:
Lots of changes and improvements, but not as exciting as other new releases have been
It’s a social browser

Is it really a significant upgrade?

Ever wondered what would happen to your online business or friendships if you died? How would people find out? What if there are things you’d like to have done in the event of your death, but you don’t know anyone you want to trust with all your passwords?

Dead Man’s Switch to the rescue. It may seem creepy, but this is an obviously valuable tool that could even be used to notify friends and family, thus saving someone else the difficult series of phone calls. At the very least, it could be a brilliant way to handle online business in the end… and it’s got that fun James Bond feel to it. And it’s free.

There’s a great post at LifeHacker about how to turn a MacBook’s iSight feature into a security camera, so that if the laptop is stolen, the owner can have a video of the thief uploaded to an FTP server. Awesome tip, and all for free.

A recent study shows that while a lot of people feel they’re letting the internet dominate their lives, there is no actual, clinical addiction taking place.

A recent study shows that while a lot of people feel they’re letting the internet dominate their lives, there is no actual, clinical addiction taking place. The telephone survey revealed that many people feel they stay online too much, end up staying on longer than they intended, and can’t stay off for more than a few days.

The same could be said about jobs, by most people: they work too many hours to devote optimal time to family or other pursuits, they often stay at work longer than they intended, and they find it difficult to arrange even a few days’ vacation without taking a cellphone along to answer any unexpected questions that arise.

Excess internet usage has to be determined on an individual basis. People who run internet businesses, for example, would probably apply the same standards as any other business owner or employee, and stay online regularly, for forty hours a week or more. But neglecting studies or kids or work in order to do chatrooms sounds like a problem. But the problem is not addiction: it’s addictive behavior.
