Certifiable
Just found out that my Press3 Mac OS X tech certification is no longer valid… mainly because the company no longer exists. 😛 Oh well. I guess now that Apple is finally offering their own certifications, I should re-certify with them anyway.

1997 Apple Ads

Nice to see it hasn’t died completely, even if the web poscards are no longer there.

Embedding passwords in URLs
This is more for me to remember it, as I’m guessing everyone else knows about this already. If you have a web or FTP site that you need to link someone to, but that site requires a user name and password, you can embed that information in the url as such:
http://userid:password@www.anywhere.com/
ftp://userid:password@ftp.anywhere.com/
