Web trackers exploit browser login managers. Interesting technique. I guess the solution is to use a 3rd party password manager that requires an action to trigger (I'm using 1Password right now and I have to hit the control-\ key to get it to auto-fill...)     #>


Resistor Calculator. Well that's handy.     #>


After having my trees taken care of for years by a local company they stopped responding to me altogether when I need a tree taken down. So based on some recommendations from Nextdoor.com I called Manny's Tree Service. Manny and his son Pedro came and looked the next day, quoted me an extremely reasonable price, and started a couple days later. It took them two days and they didn't even use a bucket truck (this was a tree that'd been struck by lightning, I thought for sure it was too delicate to climb). They also hauled off all the wood and cleaned up so well I couldn't even tell they'd ever been there. Highly recommended for Denver area tree service!     #>


Mt Elbert 3D Print. It's not a typical plastic print, they liken it more to a piece of sandstone when it's done. I love that it's colored.     #>


Recoll is a desktop full-text search tool. It will search inside of documents, including nested ones. As their site puts it:

Recoll will index an MS-Word document stored as an attachment to an e-mail message inside a Thunderbird folder archived in a Zip file (and more...). It will also help you search for it with a friendly and powerful interface, and let you open a copy of a PDF at the right page with two clicks. There is little that will remain hidden on your disk.
