When I started using KeePass earlier this year the best app on the iPhone to access those passwords was MyKeePass, it cost a buck, was rarely updated and only worked with KeePass databases of v2.14 or prior.

Tomato Advanced Firewall Settings
July 29th, 2011 
justinA user commented on the Tomato Wake-on-LAN post: I found I couldn’t get wake on lan to work at all until I enabled Advanced->Firewall->Allow multicast. Well that made me wonder what all those advanced settings did, and turns out the descriptions available suck! Well sometimes there wasn’t even a description to label as “suck” so [...]
Wake-on-LAN: Configuring Your PC, Tomato & iPhone
April 1st, 2011 justinSo this article at Lifehacker got me thinking about setting up Wake-on-LAN (WoL) for my system.

I’ve been using Dropbox for a few years to sync files across several of my computers, such as useful utilities CPU-Z and CoreTemp, or as a way to send files to friends [...]
The Backup Situation
January 26th, 2011 justinFor the last few years I’ve been using Cobian Backup to backup my computer to an external USB drive. Of course it wasn’t automatic, and I only ran it about every 6 months. Not ideal. Being 2011 and all it was time to automate my backups, and store them in The Cloud instead of locally. [...]
