Erase Your Browsing Tracks By Editing Your Index.dat Files
9:00AM Jason Fitzpatrick | Windows only: Index.dat Suite is an index file editor that allows you to selectively edit or completely erase the contents of index.dat files on your computer. Why edit the index.dat? When you browse the web, your computer leaves more traces behind than just the cookies and history file. Erasing your browser history and cookies from within Internet Explorer still leaves behind the index.dat file hidden away. On top of retaining an extensive list of the sites you have visited, it can also expose plain text passwords. Index.dat Suite is a free application that lets you examine the contents of index.dat files in a human friendly format and selectively export and erase the entries you find.

Window Markers Help You Identify Party Glasses
6:00AM Jason Fitzpatrick | Next time you throw a party use markers intended for window art to mark up the glasses. Dry-erase markers wipe off too easy, glass charms only work on glasses with stems and then you have to remember which charm was on your glass, and if you’re throwing a classy party with real glassware busting out the permanent markers is a no-no. There has to be an easy way to remember whose glass is whose. We talked about how handy it was to leave notes on the bathroom mirror with window markers back in 2006, but they came up with a clever new use over at the blog ParentHacks. Have guests write their names/doodle on their glasses with washable window markers. They are permanent enough to withstand some pawing during the party but wash right off after a trip through the dishwasher.
