Hey everyone,

June and July proved to be very busy months for Calido.

My appologies for not getting a newsletter out since 13/05/2004, but hey! This months letter is quite brief.

Don't forget, if you cant reach us in the office, you can call me direct on 0413 880 702.


Yours sincerely,
Adam Ransley

Password Management
With a growing number of websites requiring authentication it is getting harder and harder to remember all of the sensitive passwords required to access all sites.

Enter the password manager...

Password and sensitive information managers use encryption and (usually) one password/method to gain access to a list of other passwords or sensitive information such as credit card numbers etc.

The problem I have with these types of programs is power they have with access to such information. There are many shareware software packages around that will do the job, but I wouldnt trust them with such information. You really have to turn to a major company such as Norton, or Apple to provide this type of security for your data.

Norton's Password Manager is an excellent little utility to manage all types of information. There is even a trial version which you can download directly from their website.

Symantec’s Norton™ Password Manager 2004 keeps your passwords secure and easy to manage. It can store passwords and other personal information for each member of your family. Then it automatically retrieves the data needed for email logins, shopping orders, banking, and other online activities—all from the safety of your own PC.

The RRP for Norton Password Manager is $79.95.

Add a WHEREIS ® Link to your website
Location information on how to get to your business is very handy to inclulde on a website. A really good way of doing this is to provide a WHEREIS ® map link to your website.

In order to download the Icon and link to a Map, you will have to pay an annual fee of $76.78 (GST inclusive) to Sensis. Once you have done so, you will be able to include a customised link to a UBD map showing your customers where your business is located, and help them find directions to it.
