Whether you're a pro, a hobbyist, or somewhere in between, if you manage the care and feeding of a couple of websites and a few blogs, then you know that life can get complicated. You've got servers to keep track of, domain names to manage, files to up- and download and all that. Each of these has a user name and a password to have to keep straight. After a while it becomes a question of who is running whom.
Serverskine is an app that can give you a hand in keeping track of these little—but important—pieces of information. It's got a simple interface that lets you easily enter all that information, and it's got a built-in search facility that lets you find things when you need to retrieve them. While you can save your information in a proprietary binary format, there are also options to save in SQLite and even XML, so that if for some reason the app goes south, you can still get your information back.
A free Mac application, Serverskine runs under OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or later. It's a Universal Binary, so it's equally at home on both PowerPC and Intel machines.

Free hex editor
There are geeks, and then there are GEEKS. Being knowledgeable about the software and hardware you use every day buys you some street cred in the geek world, but if you really want to let your Geek Flag fly, you're going to need to do more than that. We used to know a guy who balanced his checkbook in hexadecimal. Now that's hard core!
HexEdit is a tool that lets you get in and get intimate with your files. Not just some text editor, this tool lets you get in and look at the individual bytes in your files. You may find some interesting stuff in there, or if you decide to make an edit or two while you're in the neighborhood, you may totally trash the file. This brings up two important rules for using hex editors: (1) always work with a copy, not the original file, and (2) have a clue about what you're doing. When you're working with files on this level, there are no safeguards to keep you from breaking those files and more. Be safe.
HexEdit is a free download. It's a Windows application. Thick glasses and propeller beanie not included.
