Quick cleaning of HTML files for archiving #
I use EagleFiler to store and search just about everything: PDFs, HTML pages, email, TXT files, etc. Until now, I've relied on the MyPage Bookmarklet to strip ads and other junk from webpages before archiving them. However, an increasing number of sites seem to be blocking its use.

That's where a Windows app suggested by Mike Mills comes in: it can batch scrub a group of HTML files in seconds, making short work of a formally tedious process. Check it out:

HTML stripper 1.1 [275k] + Scrub HTML clean of ads, iframes, scripts, etc.  Screenshot

Mozy for Mac OS X #
OK, OK, perhaps I've mentioned Mozy a few too many times, but they have just released a beta version for OS X 10.4. In case you've forgotten, Mozy is:
  • Completely automated
  • Secure, encrypting your data in transist (128-bit SSL) and on their servers (448-bit Blowfish)
  • Free up to 2GB, or $4.95/month for unlimited storage
  • The coolest Internet service I've ever seen
Now Mac users, too, can enjoy free/cheap automated online backups.

Common decency #
I am the first to promote the free exchange of ideas. But if you are going to copy, virtually verbatim, someone's work (even the title and images!), at least have the common decency to cite it. Especially when you plaster said work with loads of ads and other crap. Here is a screenshot of what I'm talking about, along with the original tutorial.

UPDATE: A link back to TinyApps.Org has been posted.

SSH and SSHFS Guide for OS X #
This might interest about 4 people on the planet, but a new guide has been posted in the Docs section: Hardening SSH and Mounting Remote Filesystem in OS X Finder via SSHFS. It's sort of a long-winded followup to this post and the AFP over SSH tutorial.
