Crashplan saved my life on so many occasions, that I had to work a bit to find and fix a relatively hard to spot error in my setup. It was brought to my attention by the very useful backup mails that my Crashplan hadn't done its job for 3 days. This made me shiver with fear of losing a lot of data - i am a bit paranoid when it comes to data. So I treaded the standard way, close the app, close the computer, restart again etc. When all of this did not work I tried re-installing the software, which did not fix the issue. After searching through the product knowledge base I learned that there are two components of Crashplan: one UI that you and I interract, and one Windows service that does all the background work. UI will give you an error in the line of "Unable to connect to the backup service." Which means the background service is dead.

Runkeeper is one of the most useful Iphone apps I've ever used. Load this, and your Iphone becomes a GPS-based activity (running, hiking, skiing) tracker. It measures your speed, distance, altitude.

This is a real lifehack. I've been saving pretty much everything interesting in my del.icio.us account. Now with this hack I can search them with tags from the address bar of my Firefox. As a matter of fact, you can use this hack to search on any searchable field in any webpage. 1- Go to any searcahble field in a webpage. Say www.imdb.com 2- Right click on the field, and click Add a keyword for this search. 3- Add the keyword you want to use -imdb- and a name. Basically what it does is it saves a bookmark to the search URL, with a %s placeholder for the search term, which is replaced with the actual search term when you type keyword searchterm in the address bar. I love open source.
